Gov. Gavin Newsom has enacted four new bills to intensify penalties on sideshow participants, signaling a zero-tolerance stance toward these disruptive illegal street activities.
The new laws standardize terminology for sideshows and expand officers' powers, facilitating stricter enforcement against the increasingly popular illegal gatherings in California.
Sideshow incidents have surged, causing significant disruptions on major roads—particularly in areas like Los Angeles and the Bay Area with severe traffic and safety implications.
Bart Ney from Caltrans emphasized the urgency of addressing sideshows, remarking how such activities compromise emergency service access and disrupt community safety.
