OAKLAND, Calif. (KRON) -- Participation in illegal sideshows can end with your vehicle being impounded for up to 30 days. So far that hasn't proven to be an effective deterrent. Now, lawmakers in Oakland are considering a new ordinance which may help deter sideshows.The writing on the windshield of one of the 80 vehicles Oakland police officials say were seized, towed and later impounded during sideshow enforcement Friday night and early Saturday morning at 10th and Oak streets reads, "OPD 5/6 30-day hold." Why aren’t people riding BART? Hint: It’s not remote work. Some of these cars have information indicating it may have been driven from as far away as Sacramento to take part in the illegal sideshow that at one point saw a car fully engulfed in flames.A typical tow can cost around $300. Daily storage will cost an additional $125 per day. After 30 days, when you include additional fees, sideshow participants are looking at over $4,000 to get their vehicles out of the impound.
