San Francisco Police Seize Vehicles from Sideshows

On June 9, 2024, San Francisco Police responded to multiple stunt-driving events, including one at Embarcadero and Washington Street where a vehicle was deliberately set on fire. Following widespread complaints and investigations, the SFPD seized five vehicles linked to these incidents, which will remain impounded for at least 30 days. Police Chief William Scott condemned the stunt driving as 'unacceptable' and emphasized the department's commitment to accountability for participants. While no arrests have been confirmed, the seizure marks the first enforcement action related to this chaos. The SFPD is urging the community to report such illegal gatherings to enhance public safety. Investigations into the events continue, with support from other Bay Area law enforcement agencies.
