California Law Enforcement Cracks Down on Sideshows, Seeks to Destroy Seized Cars

TL;DR
San Joaquin County Sheriff Patrick Withrow has confiscated nearly 100 vehicles following a sideshow bust in Stockton, California, and has stated that the cars will not be returned until ordered by a judge or district attorney. Withrow's zero-tolerance stance on sideshows has led to the impounding of vehicles used in reckless driving, with plans to seek court orders to destroy those deemed dangerous. This marks the first time the sheriff has seized this many vehicles, and he hopes it will serve as a deterrent for future sideshow activity.
