Felony Evading

Location: Great America Parkway and Old Glory Way

Approximately 200 – 300 vehicles arrived in the area of Great America Parkway and Old Glory Way, blocked the intersection and began driving recklessly, performing stunts among spectators known as a sideshow. Officers responded to the area with lights and sirens activated and were ignored by participants. When the officers attempted to stop the activity, drivers backed up, went around the police vehicles and/or sped away, some against traffic. Many of the vehicles had duct tape covering their license plates or no license plate.

In recent weeks, such participants have gathered in various locations throughout Santa Clara. On police arrival, participants have become aggressive, throwing rocks, bottles and pointing lasers at officers. Illegal sideshow activity has the potential to lead to serious injuries and can be a significant draw on police resources.

The Santa Clara Police Department recognizes illegal sideshow activity is not unique to the city and is a regional issue that negatively affects neighborhoods, businesses and quality of life. To mitigate the matter, officers have been conducting preemptive policing in the trouble areas in our city. In addition, the Police Department continues to work with its law enforcement partners throughout the region to share intelligence, issue citations, seize vehicles, make arrests and find long term solutions to illegal sideshows.

Help the Police Department with enforcement of organized street racing and sideshow activity in our City. If you witness sideshow activity, contact the Santa Clara Police Department via the non-emergency phone number, 408-615-5580. In an emergency, dial 9-1-1.

NOTE: Everyone deserves a relationship free from domestic violence. Disagreements develop from time to time in relationships. Domestic violence is not a disagreement.

Domestic Violence is a pattern of behaviors used by one partner to establish and maintain power and control over the other. The range of behaviors can include psychological, emotional, verbal, sexual, financial, spiritual, and physical abuse, as well as stalking and threatening behaviors. These behaviors can become more frequent and intensify over time.

Domestic violence is a serious community problem that affects individuals of all races, religions, sexual orientations and socio-economic backgrounds. It impacts people of all ages, including seniors and juveniles.

Don’t wait until you and the ones you love get hurt.  If you or someone you know is experiencing abuse, help is available from 24-hour crisis hotlines, walk-in crisis counseling, social service and systems advocacy, legal advocacy, housing solutions and support groups.

    The police need to arrange for the National Guard, the CHP, the Santa Clara County Sheriff, and all others to block escape from these “sideshows” and then throw the book at them big time. Take their cars, licenses, and a sizable chunk of their cash.
