It may soon be illegal to watch street races in Santa Ana.
The City Council provided initial approval Tuesday to an ordinance that allows the police to target spectators who are knowingly attending a street race within 200 feet of the event. Although a violation of the ordinance may include a maximum of six months in jail and a $1,000 fine, the city must first provide a written warning to any accused spectator.
