So-called “car meet-ups” or “side-shows” are happening more often in Tucson this year, according to law enforcement.
These events are also called"takeovers" as spinning cars literally take over intersections, blocking traffic and attracting crowds. They also put drivers and bystanders in danger.
“You can just smell the burnt rubber... smoke just billowing over the houses," said a neighbor on a nearby block, who asked to remain anonymous. “Cars lined up… Waiting for their turn to go in and spin out. I went down to the street and I looked out there and here’s this kid doing a spinout. And he’s got a kid in the passenger seat with the door wide open like he’s gonna fall out.”
Those departments created a partnership earlier this year, forming the Pima County Regional Critical Incident Team to address serious issues. Nanos says street takeovers now fall under that category.
