洛杉矶县警长局打击「Bay to LA」非法街头接管：逮捕22人、扣押7辆车30天
加利福尼亚州洛杉矶县——洛杉矶县警长局（Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department）信息局11月3日发布通告说，该局街头接管专案组（Street Takeover Task Force）上周末在县内展开了多轮非法街头接管执法行动。
警长局说，一大群人从北加州来到洛杉矶县，参加他们称为「Bay to LA」的非法街头接管活动。执法行动的地点包括 Carson、Compton、Lynwood、Commerce、Lakewood 等城市以及洛杉矶县的非建制地区。
行动共逮捕22人，涉及的罪名包括重罪共谋鲁莽驾驶、鲁莽驾驶、速度表演、持被吊销驾照驾驶、重罪逃避执法人员以及重罪非法持有枪支。7辆车被扣押30天；执法人员共开出74张罚单，另有22辆车因违规被开单、须接受州裁判（state referee）检验。
警长局说，其团队正在开展后续调查，要让参与这些非法活动的人承担责任，并打击洛杉矶县内的非法街头赛车与街头接管。通告指出，街头接管、侧秀（sideshows）与街头赛车是恶意鲁莽的活动，危及生命，在洛杉矶县任何地方都不会被容忍。
通告还提醒，用车辆堵塞公共街道、让他人进行非法速度表演，属于帮助与教唆，车辆将被扣押30天，驾驶人还可能被控刑事罪名；鲁莽驾驶或速度表演一旦定罪，将面临高额罚款、社区服务，并被加州车管局（DMV）记2点，保险费率也会显著上升。
掌握非法街头赛车或街头接管线索的人，可联系当地执法机构；也可拨打 Crime Stoppers 电话 (800) 222-TIPS (8477) 匿名提供信息。

LASD Task Force Makes 22 Arrests in 'Bay to LA' Street Takeover Enforcement: 7 Vehicles Impounded for 30 Days
Los Angeles County, California — The Los Angeles County Sheriff's Department (LASD) Information Bureau said in an advisory on November 3 that the department's Street Takeover Task Force conducted several street takeover enforcement operations over the past weekend.
A large group of individuals traveled from Northern California to Los Angeles County to participate in illegal street takeovers in what they called 'Bay to LA,' the department said. Enforcement operations took place in the cities of Carson, Compton, Lynwood, Commerce and Lakewood, and in the unincorporated areas of Los Angeles County.
A total of 22 arrests were made for offenses including felony conspiracy to commit reckless driving, reckless driving, exhibition of speed, driving with a suspended license, felony evading a peace officer, and felony possession of illegal firearms. Seven vehicles were impounded for 30 days, 74 citations were issued, and 22 vehicles were cited for offenses requiring a state referee inspection.
The department said its team is conducting follow-up investigations to hold those who participated accountable and to combat illegal street racing and street takeovers within Los Angeles County. Street takeovers, sideshows and street racing are maliciously reckless events that endanger lives and will not be tolerated anywhere within the county, the advisory said.
Using a vehicle to block a public street while others perform illegal exhibitions of speed is aiding and abetting and will cause the vehicle to be impounded for 30 days, and the driver could also be charged with a criminal offense, the department said. A conviction for reckless driving or exhibition of speed will result in large fines, community service, and two points from the California Department of Motor Vehicles, which will significantly increase insurance rates.
Anyone with information regarding illegal street racing or street takeovers is asked to contact their local law enforcement agency, or to provide information anonymously through Crime Stoppers at (800) 222-TIPS (8477).
