Seattle City Attorney Ann Davison is determined to slam the brakes on street racing and street takeover events.
Seattle is at a breaking point as fearless street racers continue to scoff at the law. City Attorney Ann Davison is determined to change that by proposing hefty fines and making video, including social media posts, admissible as evidence. "We need to have our laws matter," Davison said. "With our understaffing with Seattle Police, we need to be smart in how we address this.
"I saw how people were laughing at officers because it felt like they couldn’t do anything," remarked Councilmember Joy Hollingsworth. "I’m assuming people come to Seattle to do it because we don’t have particular laws that prevent this from happening."Davison suggests imposing a $500 fine for cars caught spinning out. She also argues that video evidence, including dash or body camera footage and social media content, should be used to prosecute offenders.
