Connecticut police chiefs are pushing for a new law allowing officers to seize and sell cars used in illegal street takeovers. They say the move would help curb the dangerous events, which block traffic and put public safety at risk. Some drivers swap license plates to avoid detection, and past takeovers have led to shootings, fires, and attacks on officers. Police say stronger penalties are needed to deter the gatherings, which often involve hundreds of vehicles and outnumber police.
