New rules that would impose a fine of $1,000 and up to six months in jail to spectators at sideshows and rideouts.
Watching a sideshow or street race will soon be illegal and could result in some hefty fines in Pittsburg.
Other cities have also taken measures to curb the illegal acitvities, including San Jose, which recenlty made tweeting or publicizing such events or gathering at them illegal with up to a $1,000 fines. Vallejo and Fairfield have also passed similar laws to discourage spectators. And, when speed contests are featured, street racers “accelerate to high speeds without regard for oncoming traffic, pedestrians or vehicles parked or moving nearby,” Galer said.
But while state law criminalizes the drivers, it does not address spectators nor sideshows or street races on private property, Galer noted.
