Philadelphia Police Impound Dodge Charger After Video Shows It At Illegal Side Show

are taking new action to reduce and eliminate the practice of illegal side shows in their city. Using video footage, they’re targeting the cars involved and impounding them after the event. Once found and impounded, the police might end up getting to keep the cars.

According to authorities, several illegal car meets and side shows happened in the city on September 16th and 17th. A new law gives the police the right to find and impound cars used in such events long after the event is over. That’s exactly what the Philadelphia Police Department is doing too as they announced on X / Twitter.Charger with black racing stripes in three photos. In the first, the Dodge is at one of the sideshows, and in the next two photos, it’s on a flatbed tow truck.

coupe at a sideshow event. Just like the first tweet though, the second two photos showed the car on a flatbed. The police said again that there was “more to come.”, police are targeting at least one more vehicle from the same set of events. Authorities also shed light on how exactly they’re selecting vehicles to go after. Firstly, getting just one video of a car involved at one event may not be enough.

In the case of the Charger, officers linked the same car with the “same modifications” to several events in the area over the course of months. Interestingly enough, they haven’t contacted or charged the registered owner with anything as they have yet to be able to prove that they were driving the car at the event.

Nevertheless, they charge $175 for towing the car, $25 each day for the first five days that it’s impounded, and then $30 per day after that. That’s a hefty fine and could prove to be one that’s debated in court. Police say they expect to hear from the owner’s lawyer at some point.Louisville PoliceAnother vehicle from Saturday's illegal car meets has met our tow truck.
