It was a busy weekend in Los Angeles with over 15 separate street takeovers reported. Police came down hard on one, boasting of impounding more than 30 vehicles, yet the problem is clearly far larger than any single bust can address.

Targeting one event makes little dent when so many occur simultaneously. The crackdown reflects the daunting scale of the takeover problem and the difficulty police face in keeping up with its relentless pace.
