People suspected of participating in sideshows in Rohnert Park could face jail time and a hefty fine under a new law seeking to curb the illicit vehicle demonstrations. The rules outlaw participating in a sideshow or street race as a driver or passenger. It also gives law enforcement an added tool to rein in organizers taking to social media to promote events and spectators within 200 feet of an event who are actively involved, such as filming the driving exhibitions or cheering on participants.
