GRPD planning to crack down on dangerous drag racing meetups

GRPD Chief Eric Winstrom said while car meetups in themselves are not illegal, when activities like "slide shows" are taking place, that's when things can get dangerous, and when police have to get involved.

Winstrom says that's where people begin to do extremely dangerous maneuvers with the vehicle, blocking all access to the intersection which can lead to an atmosphere of chaos and people getting hurt.

This why next month, 14 new GRPD officers will take to the streets in order to put the department in a better position to pull over or disable cars at these kinds of meet ups.
