1
00:00:00,160 --> 00:00:03,000
Speaker 1: Street takeovers. The rowdy meetups that block off roadways with

2
00:00:03,120 --> 00:00:05,400
Speaker 1: a ton of noise have made headlines in recent months.

3
00:00:05,559 --> 00:00:07,800
Speaker 2: I think it has been a problem for a while.

4
00:00:08,160 --> 00:00:10,480
Speaker 2: I don't know if we have had the appetite to

5
00:00:10,480 --> 00:00:11,120
Speaker 2: do that up here.

6
00:00:11,320 --> 00:00:14,200
Speaker 1: State Rep. Christopher Marky is proposing changing the law to

7
00:00:14,240 --> 00:00:15,560
Speaker 1: dial back some of the chaos.

8
00:00:15,600 --> 00:00:18,599
Speaker 2: How it would work is that someone would be convicted

9
00:00:19,040 --> 00:00:22,120
Speaker 2: of it, and then they could have their vehicle forfeited.

10
00:00:21,760 --> 00:00:24,360
Speaker 1: He says. After a conviction of reckless driving that blocks

11
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:26,479
Speaker 1: off local roads, officials would be able to ask that

12
00:00:26,560 --> 00:00:29,080
Speaker 1: the person's car be taken away. He says there's precedent

13
00:00:29,120 --> 00:00:30,720
Speaker 1: for that in the law and that a judge would

14
00:00:30,720 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: oversee the hearing. He figures these souped up cars are

15
00:00:33,000 --> 00:00:35,880
Speaker 1: often prized possessions, so it gives police a little more teeth.

16
00:00:35,920 --> 00:00:38,640
Speaker 1: Another provision in the bill raising the maximum penalty to

17
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:40,879
Speaker 1: a year in jail for anyone wearing a mask to

18
00:00:40,920 --> 00:00:42,840
Speaker 1: hide their identity while disturbing the peace.

19
00:00:43,080 --> 00:00:44,840
Speaker 2: You can't just walk out with one hundred and fifty

20
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,800
Speaker 2: dollar fine.

21
00:00:45,520 --> 00:00:48,520
Speaker 1: He says. Mask wearing is common at street takeovers. Kyle
