LAPD Takes Streets Back
Conehead take note. Waller, you too.
Maybe Dart and ISP Kelly can hop on board:
Cops sprung a massive sting on alleged street-racing hooligans in South Los Angeles early Saturday — reportedly detaining hundreds and preparing to haul away scores of vehicles.
The Los Angeles Police Department told The California Post that officers issued a tactical alert at 3:21 a.m. and were still working the scene hours later, as of 9 a.m.
No details were immediately available on arrests or citations from the LAPD.
Video from the scene showed dozens of officers surrounding a massive crowd as people wandered between cars trapped at the intersection of South Figueroa Street and West Alondra Boulevard. Tow trucks stood by, ready to pounce.
At last report, around 300 participants were detained AND OVER 100 VEHICLES IMPOUNDED.
Back when impounds were a thing (and snow tows) every vehicle towed was tagged with something like $150 in fines, another $50 in towing fees, and an initial $10 daily storage fee which was increased by $10 a day afterwards.
That's a quick $21K in a single incident.
Now do this a of couple weekends in a row and suddenly Conehead's budget deficit starts to shrink, his approval rating goes up, and CTA revenues....well, they stay the same as those morons will just wave the shitheads through.

Destroy the cars and problems solved
I am old fashion, fire hydrants, used motor oil, roofing nails. Then call S & S for a clean up.
That's racist since most of thise vehicles belong to black and brown drivers. Kind of like blacks owing money to the city but not pursuing them because they're black and have no money.
The problem with Chicago though, some savage will open fire at the police during one of these large enforcement actions.
Conehead doing something that brings in revenue and stopsvyutes from destroying
Conehead doing something that brings in revenue and stops his yutes from destroying everything in sight? Never. That's an easy solution. Sadly, LA isn't working with ICE. We'd have a few more freeloaders out of our country.
Will never happen in Chi town cuz day just funnin and shit
sounds good on paper until the rev-runs find out the demographics of those involved, they then call the program racist
Looks like communist democrat cities are doing a temporary show of enforcing laws in the run up to the mid terms. Back to business as usual on 04 November.
Oh, the tow fees are on the low side. Most burbs, the fee is $500-$750, plus tickets. My son's place got plate numbers of the cars involved, then went to their cribs next day and hooked 7 or 8 of them. Did that a couple times, and guess what? No street takeovers in his town..
Mayor Conehead does not have the huevos to challenge his constituents like that.
Mayor Johnson says, "Don't demonize the children". Especially the ones driving stolen Demons and Hellcats.
The ghetto mayor issued a statement, we will not demonize future NASCAR and F1 drivers.
Ya, and if they do who fucking cares except the usual race husrlers
Mayor Shaky Knees would fold like a house of cards after this started here because too many innocent criminals would be targeted. The police are a necessary evil only here to preserve disorder.
Not so !.....We have gun laws on the books....just try see what happens ....Punk!
The shoot back idiot, you're the police right?
$1000 for each impound! It will stop!
Johnson won't let that happen to the demonized yutes!
“Shitheads” haven’t heard that in awhile. Has a nice ring to it.
Sounds racist , those poor citizens need those vehicles to get to work.
One thing about Chicago it has great tow truck drivers.
I remember we would have have Streets and San set up , block them in, and everyone would go, take all the bikes, Atvs, cars. Now, nothing. This last two POS Mayors have destroyed this city.
This will not happen in Chicago. This town had it chance for real police reform when Charlie Beck came into town for six months, made some great changes and proposed others. All of it was reversed by Brown and Lightfoot. Not one superintendent in the past, and that includes Terry and Snelling had the guts to make real changes in the patronage culture.
Do that now and if one of these assholes crash and gets hurt you are going to jail…we did that 30 yrs ago….those days are over
The pics were great - on the few sites with enough balls to show them. Needs to happen here. Let’s see if any mayoral candidate has those balls to offer a similar solution to the street takeovers/wildings going on here. Would be a start!
You can not detain or impound your way out of this situation Conehead would say.
Its too late to save LA and maybe Chicago too, but this may be the formula that hits street takeovers the hardest. Kudo's to the strategist that thought of it.
The only thing that will lower the number of homeless drug addicts is bad drugs. Do you think these drug traffickers give one shit how many of them die? We spend billions of tax dollars at this problem. And only the connected benefit and give kickbacks to campaign funds.
Lotta white kids as well. Let’s not be naive pal. You’re not the sharpest tool in the box.
Then shoot them back, silly.
Never happen in Chicago.
CPD and the powers that be, don't have the stones....
just for shits and grins, do this and then call some of your buddies at ICE and have them hanging around. Many of these street racers are illegal aliens. Take their cars, take their cash, and put them on a plane back to Honduras. They won't be flipping-off cops down there.
This would involve command shaft planning and a new page in the playbook
Not going to happen
But the retards who never worked the street at 35th told me that the Stop Sticks would solve the problem. The detail of requiring that the vehicle be stopped and told the sticks have been deployed never was never thought to be a henderance.
Have groups of plain clothes guys throw caltrops onto the street. Then come tow all the cars
Frenchy Martin Says:
It’s just a move to clean up crime before the Mid term Election. Things will return to the status quo as soon as election season is over…..
So you’re saying Mayor Daley didn’t misspeak?
How will shooting into a crowd of people go over? Why didn’t anyone shoot back at the mass shooting in 002? Take it easy cowboys, op is right
These things are set up on social media. Any police department serious about stopping this should set up an event in a large area with limited exits and post the event to social media and let the fun begin.
Command Shaft? John Shaft would never let this fly
so you're saying the cars are stolen because they have no money?
Yep. 99 percent of the citizens would agree.Politicians and criminals make up the other 1 percent.
Imagine if we could coordinate with ICE on independence week and do something similar. Instead, we sit around, cancel everyone's days off entire week and make everyone a scare crow. No plan in place, officers placed in danger with mortars getting thrown at them and vigilantes jumping on their squad cars.
Rogers Park love illegal immigrants.
Any officer with a good sense of duty could call for several assist cars and then several tow trucks. Why wait for a supervisor you ball-ess mouthbreathing millenial cops...Too many wall flowers on CPD these days. Todays supervisors would be glad to have one place that they can log all their cars in.
When Tony Chiesa was a deputy he was nutso about car impounds. Argued that in many cases this was going to be the worst thing that happened in a case, and it left a strong impression.
Yep breaking,, entering and stealing. They work so hard !
So you want to kettle them?
Too much for the command staff and woke politicians.
Crush the vehicle, make the shithead push the button and watch as part of his sentence. Then charge him for the cost of the crushing and recycling, and don't give him any offset from the value of the recycle.
No no no, you cannot crime fight your way out of crime. To do so might create the conditions that would produce a civilized society and democrats cannot function in such an environment.
He loved firemen.
Sorry bro, take overs are not a 1st Amendment protected activity.
You've never been to one of these things pal. Its' mostly hispanics and they are mostly from the suburbs. You could watch any video and see it's mostly hispanics, but you just want to make shit up.
Do you really think this dumbass ignorrent, arrogant, racist mayor will let the police actually police?
Command staff evidently has not the intelligence or the desire to be able to pull off a successful mission like LA just did. Too many leaks here- some letting his friends in da community know what’s what. But we can dream!
Ok sport. Show us how it’s done with just a few cars.
The Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) uses an aggressive, multi-agency crackdown to end illegal street takeovers and sideshows. Coordinated through its Street Racing Task Force alongside the California Highway Patrol (CHP) and the Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD), the department combines strict enforcement mechanisms with preventative policy tools.
Core Enforcement Mechanisms and Policies
1. "Kettling" & Massive Perimeter Containment
Instead of arriving with standard sirens, which previously caused crowds to scatter unpunished, police deploy coordinated sting and perimeter-containment tactics. Officers swiftly block off exit routes around the targeted intersection (such as S. Figueroa St. & W. Alondra Blvd.) to trap participants, drivers, and spectators inside the perimeter before making mass detentions.
2. Mandatory 30-Day Vehicle Impoundment
Under California Vehicle Code (Section 23109.2 VC), vehicles involved in street takeovers, speed contests, or reckless driving are subjected to an immediate 30-day mandatory impoundment. Owners are forced to pay steep towing and daily storage fees (often exceeding several thousand dollars) before retrieving the vehicle. Department leaders, including the LAPD Chief, have advocated for expanding policies to permanently seize or destroy/crush vehicles tied to recurring offenses.
3. Penalizing Spectators (LAMC 47.15)
Under Los Angeles Municipal Code Section 47.15, it is illegal to knowingly be a spectator at a street takeover or speed contest. Authorities issue heavy Administrative Citation Enforcement (ACE) citations directly to onlookers, removing the standard audience that fuels takeover events. In major sting operations, hundreds of spectators are cited simultaneously.
4. Drone Intelligence & Real-Time Tracking
Because social media allows takeovers to mobilize in under 20 minutes, the LAPD utilizes aerial surveillance, drones, and law enforcement intelligence networks to monitor gatherings, track fleeing vehicles, and map out sting locations prior to deploying ground officers.
5. Strict Youth Curfew Enforcement
Operations strictly enforce municipal curfew laws for underage attendees. Juveniles detained at these events are issued curfew violations, and parents are held accountable or required to pick up minors at processing sites.
6. Zero-Tolerance Criminal Prosecution
Beyond traffic citations, law enforcement works alongside local prosecutors to pursue felony and misdemeanor charges for:
* Exhibition of Speed / Aiding and Abetting (VC 23109)
* Assault on a Police Officer or Resisting/Obstruction
* Reckless Driving and Hit-and-Run
* Unlawful Possession of Firearms & Dangerous Materials (such as seized nitrous oxide tanks)
* Vandalism and Infrastructure Damage Recovery, allowing the city to seek civil/criminal restitution from organizers to pay for road repair, restriping, and property destruction.
And our policy?
You know the answer.
Impounding vehicles is not de-escalatory.
just like the large gathering order. Monitor and do something, we just tell you what to do or give you a legal remedy to enforce it.
Mostly Edgar’s and Tortas from the suburbs/out of state that attend these things.
You know it's bad if liberal Cali has had enough! We are about 3-5 years away from enforcement or if a politician gets hurt...Bravo LAPD
* Unlawful Possession of Firearms & Dangerous Materials (such as seized nitrous oxide tanks)

Got the thing in their lap, breathing deeply while videoing themselves driving 150 MPH the wrong way, splitting lanes on the "motorway." against the oncoming traffic.
Driving While Anaesthetized.
Gas available to breathe in psgr. compartment (even tubes running from bottle in trunk) - automatic confiscation and crushing of veh. and permanent revocation of drivers' license. Death or injury resulting - automatic life in prison without possibility of parole.
Out for a bit of a lark on the "Snapchat," are we now?
"But, but, but, it's me da's car..."
Now see how many "likes" you get...
But it works.
