Oakland, California – Several law enforcement agencies in the Bay Area took action to dismantle multiple illegal sideshows in the early hours of Sunday morning. These dangerous events, characterized by reckless driving and disruptive behavior, have become a recurring issue for authorities in the region.
One of the incidents occurred near the intersection of 42nd Street and International Boulevard in Oakland. As captured in a video, cars were seen spinning and fireworks being ignited, creating a chaotic scene. The police intervened and dispersed the gathering at approximately 2:30 a.m.
Soon after, another sideshow was broken up by Oakland police at around 3 a.m. However, rather than dispersing, the crowd migrated towards San Francisco and eventually made their way onto the Bay Bridge. Footage of the incident depicted a sideshow in progress, causing a traffic halt on westbound Interstate 80 for approximately 20 minutes.
In addition to the sideshows in Oakland, law enforcement officers also encountered similar gatherings in Menlo Park, near Stanford University, and in Mountain View. These occurrences pose significant safety risks not only to participants but also to innocent bystanders in the vicinity.
As of now, there is no information available regarding any arrests or citations related to the sideshows. However, authorities are working diligently to investigate and hold those responsible accountable for their actions.
