Full Notification

Oakland, CA – This weekend, along with every weekend, you will see a large contingency of law enforcement officers dedicated specifically to illegal sideshow, accompanied by air support, and our regional law enforcement partners, as we team up to deter and take enforcement action by issuing citations, making arrests, and towing vehicles.
 
Violent, disruptive, illegal behavior will not be tolerated in the City of Oakland. Our investigators will be working to identify those responsible for committing crimes and participating in illegal sideshow activity.
 
The City of Oakland recognizes that illegal sideshow activity is not unique to Oakland. This is a regional issue that affects our neighborhoods, businesses, and the quality of life. Historically, illegal sideshow activity has led to serious injury or death of spectators, and or participants. The City will continue to work with City Council, City Divisions/resources, our neighboring cities and other law enforcement partners, to find long term solutions to illegal sideshow.
