um but uh thank you all so much for being here I'm San Francisco mayor London breed and I am joined by the chief of our Police Department Bill Scott and our assistant Sheriff tanzan Carter from the sheriff's department and the Alam County Sheriff's Department as well as the California Highway Patrol Chief Don goodbrand uh to talk a little bit about not just all the incredible work that all of these various law enforcement agencies have been doing to help address the challenges that we are experiencing uh with sideshows which not only include cars but dirt bikes are also included as vehicles uh they have been doing a great job in order to help address this issue we are in fact seeing sideshows decline in San Francisco and the number of vehicles that have been confiscated uh have doubled uh yet we know this problem continues to persist especially in San Francisco and Alama counties we know that Sid shows are dangerous uh they are disruptive and they are illegal they are harmful for our neighborhoods and to be very very clear they will not be tolerated and it's not just about cars as I said we've also seen dirt bike which are Vehicles do the same thing now it's one thing to just ride your dirt bike along the city streets stop at the stop signs and follow the laws and the rules of the road it's a whole another thing when you see these dirt bike 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 this is extremely dangerous and it is something that we also plan to address and to be very clear here in San Francisco we are fortunate thanks to the voters for passing Proposition E we now have tools that we are able to use including drones surveillance technology license plate readers and other things that will assist us at combating this issue and we will use those tools effectively like we have been it has led to remarkable results in the reduction of car break-ins and a number of other return vehicles uh the department has been doing a great job with technology and in this particular case it will be no different we will use every tool that we have and every law that we have in order to stop and disrupt the sideshows that are happening in our city now we're doing this through legislative action here locally we know that we'd like to go further and we'd like to use federal laws to I mean state laws in in order to help make this thing as problematic as possible but we are going to make it very uncomfortable very inconvenient for these s shows to happen I'm introducing legislation here in San Francisco to do four things to make it illegal to participate in promoting sides shows this will help our officers who are already tracking these efforts online and hopefully deter people from organizing them in the first place so if you are an organizer we are coming for you too we will make it illegal to participate in assembling for a sideshow so if you are one of those vehicles that are trying to obstruct other vehicles for coming through and you're just blocking it with your car or you're there in any way this means cars that obstruct the streets to set up for side shows will also now face criminal penalties and we will make it illegal to impede law enfor for ment from doing their jobs to disrupt side roads uh to disrupt SES shows so if you are using those lasers to try and blind our officers if you are trying to do anything to stop a vehicle stand in front of a vehicle all of those things will count as impeding law enforcement's ability to do the work that they're there to do to stop and disrupt these sides shows and you will be held to account we will extend the amount of time the city can can hold a vehicle seized in a sideshow right now we have to return a vehicle within 30 days and now with our district attorney support we are charging the law so that the da can keep the cars longer and if there is a conviction the car can be seized permanently so we are coming after everything that we can whether it's your car or your dirt bike or what have you we welcome the opportunity for people to ride the Streets of San Francisco safely but when you start Crossing those lines we will take action and we will be aggressive hi thanks so much for watching to view more content like this we've selected some videos that we think you'll enjoy and don't forget to like or click that button here on the bottom left of your screen to subscribe
