Illegal Street Takeovers a problem in Indianapolis

[Winny]

Illegal street takeovers have been a continuous problem in Indianapolis Indiana, it's gotten so bad that police have had to increase their presence due to it. The police are targeting anyone out there who is reckless driving, racing, speeding, doing donuts, and more. Of course people doing this are not filing any sort of permits. Honestly I doubt most of these things would be allowed even with a permit.

These street takeovers have been leading to traffic disruptions, property damage, and more. The IMPD are actively working in collaboration with state police to employ new strategies to prevent and catch anyone doing these illegal activities. The new changes have been somewhat effective, as it's already resulted in over 40 arrests and the seizure of around 80 stolen vehicles.

So we got people doing street racing, taking over streets to have parties and so on. Not sure how one would be able to get a permit for street racing. I know people have car shows and that I'm sure can be issued a permit. But either way, if you're going to take up a whole road, get a permit if possible. Because not only will you be arrested, but you could also risk the lives of other people.

I pictured a wild block party when I first read the thread title. I should've known that it had to do with street racing. Things like that are popular in small towns around here as well. It really is a nuisance. It creates an unsafe atmosphere as they crowd other drivers off the road. I hope the Indianapolis police are able to put a stop to it.

Indianapolis is a major hub of activity, so you'd think those people would find something better to do with their time. Considering the amount of traffic that their roads see each day, it's easy to imagine how disruptive the behavior is to other drivers.
