This past weekend, Oakland Police Officers officers assigned to sideshow enforcement towed 13 vehicles. Even after a Sideshow has ended, our criminal investigations continue. Oakland Police officers relentlessly follow up on Sideshow participants. We will go to the homes and tow the vehicles of those who take part in the illegal activity.
Officers will continue to take enforcement action by issuing citations, making arrests, and towing vehicles. Additionally, our investigators will be working to identify those responsible for committing crimes, as well as participating in illegal Sideshow activity, which affects our neighborhoods, businesses, and the quality of life in our community.
Historically, illegal Sideshow activity has led to serious injury, and/or death, of both spectators and participants. The City continues to work to find long-term solutions to illegal Sideshows. If you have information about illegal Sideshows, you can send OPD a tip at our non-emergency email, [email protected], or call (510) 777-3333.
