I just heard from a friend that the Santa Ana Police Department went completely nuts tonight, shutting down several streets in an unprecedented Cinco de Mayo crackdown. My friend reported seeing dozens of vehicles being towed away.
He also said folks were being stopped for having tinted windows and for driving while brown. The cops seemed to be looking for cruisers in particular.
I could not find any report of this over at the O.C. Register, but their reporter, Therese Cisneros, did have this to say on her Facebook page: Police to crack down on cruising tonight…..Police will be on the look out for criminal activity and vehicle code violations. Traffic will be reduced to two lanes in each direction on Bristol between McFadden and Warner….Edinger between Main and Bristol will be closed. Traffic on
Main between Mc Fadden and Warner will be reduced to one lane….Surrounding streets may be closed as well.

“He also said folks were being stopped for having tinted windows and for driving while brown.”
Say what? The cops are mostly “Brown”, and the residents are nearly all “Brown”. I think Mr. Zorro has been spending too much time in East L.A. Ask Sean about the impact of cruising on the neighborhoods. To the SAPD I say we salute you!
!This will never happen when Al Amezqua is elected Mayor of Santa Ana! !We will be able to Cruise Bristol every night if we want to and the police will have to give us respect!
post 1 must have been a slow day in pedroza land . driving while brown , and tinted windows . if i renember if your windows are too dark ITS ILLEGAL . oops i said a word pedroza does not like to use .
Obviously folks missed the whole point of this “Stassi-style” demonstration.
Memorial Day is coming up & the cops needed the overtime pay for their mini-vacations planned.
Let’s not forget the pension padding that was done by impounding vehicles…
#4,
Folks wish to use occurrences to fuel their agendas. Bigots use it for their purposes. PD uses it as you point out to get overtime pay. City politicians use it to produce overtime activities along with the best OC PD pay rate in order to get the police union to spend police officer’s membership dues for their IE hit pieces.
The residents get the bad end of the stick. Their taxes used to cover political manipulation.
Ignorant and bigot individuals perpetuate the mismanagement.

MQ says:
Yeah, well maybe the residents don’t want a bunch of loser’s who value pistons, more than math going down their street.. LA RAZA such a good influence!
“Ignorant and bigot individuals perpetuate the mismanagement.”
MQ says:
Yeah, those ignorant and bigoted elderly and youth, that can’t go out their door without having to fear getting shot by loser’s in souped up car’s!
LOL Doc, but living in OPA does not give you an opinion on this one!
Michele,
You comments are nothing more than red herrings. Nothing more from me.
And the boycotts and Ranting and raving in the streets “We are human too”, is also a red herring.. and people need to speak up about it!
People going down the street in souped up car with, (most likely) guns under their seat.. Is something the police are well aware of. The police are not going to let political correctness end a life.
Thank god the SAPD is getting some (well you know)!
Thank you for enforcing my earlier comment in post #5
