Perhaps more useful and effective than posting complaints here would be lobbying for there to be legal public places for people to do sideshows so that they're less likely to happen in residential neighborhoods.
If they are criminalized everywhere locally, it's no surprise hobbyists hold them guerrilla style on city streets.

It is illegal and should be held to account.

Teelee – Are you saying all the cars involved in sideshows are stolen, and all the people who attend or participate in sideshows are car thieves? Is every hill-bombing skater using a stolen skateboard too?
I don't think stereotyping a bunch of kids looking to get their thrills as hardened criminals is accurate or productive.
What happened in Israel on October 7 was terrorism. People doing donuts on the streets? Not so much. The police kill way more people than they do.
