Frustrated over the persistent sideshow problem, Oakland City Councilmember Noelle Gallo is proposing a plan that would cite not just those participating in sideshows, but also those who advertise them and come out to view them.
On Tuesday, Gallo put forward a proposal that would crack down not just on those participating in sideshows in the city, but also those who advertise them and come out to view them.
"If you're promoting, they will cite you, fine you. If you're out there in the vehicle doing the sideshow - well, we'll impound the vehicle but also cite you," Gallo said.Some, like Communities United for Restorative Youth Justice, think the city would be better off investing in community activities as an alternative for young people.
"I believe that criminalization isn't the solution. It only serves to keep incarcerating Black and Brown youth and young adults," said Alex Toris.
