NEW ORLEANS (WVUE) - City officials are pledging a “more bold and brazen” approach to illegal stunt driving incidents around New Orleans.
The New Orleans Police Department held a press conference Monday after several videos were widely circulated on social media Sun., June 5. In the videos, drivers are seen burning out, spinning cars in donuts, driving at high rates of speed, and performing other maneuvers at different intersections across the city. Crowds of people watching the stunts blocked traffic at Downman Road and Chef Mentuer Highway, as well as St. Claude and St. Roch Avenues.
In at least one of the videos, people are seen jumping on an NOPD patrol car and taunting the officer.
