State lawmakers want to crack down on violent "street takeovers" and advanced a bill Tuesday with overwhelming support.
The measure allows police to destroy cars and bikes seized from suspects involved in these incidents. It also permits penalties for spectators, including the loss of their driver's licenses.
Critics caution that innocent bystanders could face punishment under the broad crackdown.
