INDIANAPOLIS — A new proposal has been introduced to help the Indianapolis Metropolitan Police Department curb street takeovers. The proposal, which will be unveiled on Monday, defines what activities will be subject to penalties and what punishment those participating in street takeovers may face. The proposal dubs illegal street racing as "a motor vehicle contest using public highways, streets, rights-of-ways, public or private driveways, airport runways or off-street parking facilities in violation of Indiana motor vehicle and traffic laws." If the new proposal is approved, individuals can be punished for participating in street takeovers in a variety of fashions. Those organizing and participating in illegal street racing will be subject to penalties. Even individuals deemed to be street racing spectators can be punished under the new rule. The proposed ordinance defines an organizer as "any person who knowingly promotes an exhibition of illegal drag racing ... The term promote shall include, but not be limited to advertising, posting or sharing the location of any illegal street racing or reckless driving exhibition or taking video or photographic images for the purpose of promoting and/or profiting from the event." A spectator is defined as "an individual who is a bystander or observer of an illegal street racing or reckless driving exhibition." The proposal would constitute each of the following incidents as examples of illegal street racing: A group of motor vehicles or individuals gathered at a location for the purpose of participating in such an event A group of individuals has gathered on private property open to the general public without the consent of the owner, operator or agent thereof for the purpose of participating in such an event One or more individuals have impeded the free public use of a public street, sidewalk, highway, public or private driveway, airport runway or parking lot by actions, words or physical barriers for the purpose of conducting such an event Two or more vehicles have lined up with motors running for an illegal motor vehicle speed contest or exhibition of speed One or more drivers are revving the engine or spinning the vehicle's tires in preparation for the event An individual is stationed at or near one or more motor vehicles serving as a race starter The proposal also characterized "motorcycle stunting" as a type of activity that would be subject to punishment. The proposal defines "motorcycle stunting" as "any use of a motorcycle for the purpose of acrobatic maneuvering to perform wheelies, burnouts or front wheelies/stoppies." One of the main penalties street takeover participants, organizers and spectators could face under the proposed ordinance is fines. Promoters, organizers and participants can be fined up to $250. Spectators can be fined up to $100. Under the ordinance, officials will also be able to confiscate and impound vehicles and motorcycles used for illegal street takeovers or racing. The proposal indicates vehicles involved in illegal street racing may be impounded for at least 30 days or through the adjudication of cases. The proposal's introduction comes as IMPD continues to try to stifle illegal street takeovers in Indianapolis. Last weekend, officers were attacked and their squad cars were damaged during a series of street takeovers. Officials' efforts to curb such events have resulted in at least nine individuals being charged. Five of those people now face felony charges. Ahead of this weekend, Indiana State Police have offered IMPD their support in stopping street takeovers. In an interview with FOX59 and CBS4, ISP Superintendent Doug Carter said his agency is prepared to quickly respond to street takeovers alongside IMPD. "We will remain in partnership with the IMPD to address this most recent criminal activity," Carter said. "We will provide all resources they request, if available."We are and continue to be in constant contact with IMPD on a number of issues. I'm in constant contact with Chief Bailey at IMPD and ready to support him and his agency however we can." Before the proposal can go into effect, it will need to be reviewed by the City-County Council. It will also be subjected to approval or veto by Indianapolis Mayor Joe Hogsett.
