From land and air, metro law enforcement prepares to curtail street racing, other dangerous driving

Both from the air and on the ground, law enforcement officials say they've ramped up tactics to curb street racing and other dangerous stunt driving in the Twin Cities metro and across the state - trends that have emerged in recent summers with deadly consequences.

Joined by members of multiple agencies, State Patrol Col. Matt Langer said people who promote or even watch street races will be held accountable, and likely for more than just a ticket.

"Whether it is a promoter, a participant, or an attendee, all are complicit in this illegal activity and will be held accountable," he said. "And that accountability is not just maybe going to be a citation. You could find yourself going to jail for second-degree riot."
