‘Sideshow’ Spectators Also Can Be Cited
From Times Staff and Wire Reports
Being a spectator at a “sideshow” is now illegal in the city.
The City Council gave its second and final approval Tuesday to an ordinance that allows authorities to cite spectators of the late-night car rallies known for high-speed stunts.

The ordinance also allows authorities to confiscate cars of drivers who participate in sideshows.
