In 2021, Denver police made 59 arrests or citations connected to street racing, resulting in 21 cases in which a respondent did not get their car back after it was impounded.
Fourteen of the public nuisance abatement ordinance cases resulted in relinquishment of the vehicle via default judgment, because the vehicle owner did not contest the action or never responded to the civil action, police said Thursday in a news release. In seven of the cases, the vehicles were released to a lienholder or lender.
Spring tends to be an unofficial start for illegal street racing, and police say they aim to stop the potentially dangerous activity in its tracks. Street racing is a safety concern for participants and uninvolved motorists, as high speeds increase the likelihood of serious injury and fatal crashes, police said. Large gatherings connected to street racing result in other crimes, including violence and property damage. In 2021, more than 270 citations were issued for infractions including traffic violations, trespassing, outstanding warrants and felony arrests.
Denver police say they will use the department’s Air1 helicopter to disperse street race gatherings and will coordinate with neighboring jurisdictions to shut down street racing.
