Street takeovers can form quickly, leaving drivers, bystanders, and police facing a dangerous situation in the middle of a public road. In California, large groups can appear before authorities have much time to respond.

Some of these gatherings can form and disperse within a short window. By the time police can mobilize, much of the event may already have played out.

Heather Mac Donald, the Thomas W. Smith Fellow at the Manhattan Institute and a contributing editor of City Journal, and Deon Joseph, an LAPD senior lead officer with 30 years on the job, join us to examine what is happening around these street takeovers and why they can be so difficult to contain once they begin.
