San Francisco Mayor London Breed on Friday announced new legislation that would increase the penalties against individuals participating in dangerous sideshows on city streets.
The legislation that was announced by Breed and SF Supervisor Matt Dorsey would combat sideshow activity with increased criminal penalties for people who both plan and participate in sideshows and the stunt driving associated with the incidents.
'It's a whole 'nother thing when you see these dirt bikes ride in large numbers on sidewalks, barely missing pedestrians as they walk, and running red lights to a point where vehicles are trying to avoid hitting people on dirt bikes.'The mayor said that the penalties for impeding officers trying to stop sideshow activity will be enforced on anyone physically blocking law enforcement or shining laser pointers at officers or law enforcement and vehicles.
