OAKLAND -- Bay Area law enforcement has been frustrated in its attempts to control the growth and frequency of illegal sideshows.
"Nothing substantial has been done to try to address the involvement of sideshows," said Miley."And it's just gotten more popular and, in fact, more dangerous." "The First Amendment guarantees the right not only to talk about things like sideshows, but also to observe, document and record them. Because they're events occurring in a public space and events of a public concern," said Loy.
At the Alameda County Board of Supervisors meeting last week, county officials heard from Tyler Dragoni, a high school government teacher who objected to the unlimited discretion the ordinance would give police to cite bystanders. "I don't need the government telling me what I can and cannot do in a public space," he said."And our founders agreed on that. They agreed on that so much that they listed in our Bill of Rights certain things. And one thing that would be protected, obviously,-is the right to watch someone at an intersection, even if they are doing something reckless."
