Rohnert Park officials are taking steps to avert an anticipated increase in sideshow activities in the city as Santa Rosa crackdown on the illegal vehicle demonstrations in its jurisdiction. The Rohnert Park City Council on Oct. 25 unanimously gave administrators approval to pursue an ordinance that would give police an added tool to deter the large crowds that gather around sideshows and rein in organizers promoting events on social media. The discussion comes weeks after Santa Rosa approved its own set of rules that target participants, spectators and organizers with potential jail time or hefty fines.
