The San Jose City Council voted unanimously Tuesday to prosecute those who watch illegal street racing and stunt shows, known as “sideshows.” Sideshows include dangerous stunts like "donuts" and "burnouts" on public streets. Spectators often serve as human shields during the shows, the Bay Area's FOX 2 reported. "The last four years we've lost six young people as a result of street racing in the city," San Jose Mayor Sam Liccardo told the station. Last year two men accused of street racing in San Jose were arrested after a truck in which they were riding slammed into a cab, killing the passenger. Similar ordinances have been passed in Los Angeles, San Diego and Sacramento, the Mercury News of San Jose reported.
