Direct staff to draft law prohibiting spectators at illegal car races and sideshows
In Plain English
Richmond currently has no law against watching illegal street racing or sideshows. Police want to discourage these dangerous events by making it illegal to attend as a spectator. If approved, staff will research similar laws from other cities and draft Richmond's version for council review in November.
