San Antonio Police Chief William McManus says his department’s efforts to pump the brakes on the problem have been working.
He said while there are complaints of illegal street racing and street takeovers, they’re difficult to stop unless police get a heads-up.Efforts to enact a city ordinance that would punish spectators at those events failed for lack of support, according to District 6 Councilwoman Melissa Cabello Havrda, chair of the city’s Public Safety Committee.
