I just heard from a friend that the Santa Ana Police Department went completely nuts tonight, shutting down several streets in an unprecedented Cinco de Mayo crackdown. My friend reported seeing dozens of vehicles being towed away.
He also said folks were being stopped for having tinted windows and for driving while brown. The cops seemed to be looking for cruisers in particular.
I could not find any report of this over at the O.C. Register, but their reporter, Therese Cisneros, did have this to say on her Facebook page: Police to crack down on cruising tonight…..Police will be on the look out for criminal activity and vehicle code violations. Traffic will be reduced to two lanes in each direction on Bristol between McFadden and Warner….Edinger between Main and Bristol will be closed. Traffic on
Main between Mc Fadden and Warner will be reduced to one lane….Surrounding streets may be closed as well.
What a horrible way to wreck an important day in Mexican history. The irony is that white folks are the ones who drink to excess on Cinco de Mayo, not Mexicans. This day isn’t even that big a deal in Mexico, certainly not as big as the Fiesta de Independencia.
What all of this is about is taking cars away from immigrants and making them pay a fortune to get them back. It is wrong, period.

Watch out for the cops, they will close down entire streets and stop everybody without regard to status, color, age, or gender to make sure you have your Driver's license with you and are not under the influence.
There must be one helluva drunk driver problem there.
Santa Ana police waste time taking cars away from hard working people. But the police officer don't even dare to stop gang members. Many kids that attend Villa Fundamental are being robbed when they come out of school at 2:30pm and police are called and take's about an hour to respond. As if the gang members are going to be waiting for them.
The Eastside of Santa Ana has no officers patrolling the area, but how about floral park? Can some one any one, who resides at floral park asnwer my question and tell me how often do you see police cars patrolling your neighborhood.
Shame SAPD!!!!!
After watching the video at this link about SAPD on Cinco De Mayo, do you all still think police are "wasting time" and targeting poor/hardworking people? Especially at the 1:27 minute mark? No, it's gang members!

After watching the video at the link below, do you all still think SAPD targets "poor & hard working people?" No it's gang members. This video was shot during the Cinco De Mayo activities by Channel 7. Look at the minute mark 1:27, where guns were taken off the street (Main Street).

Absolute garbage, I was out tonight and I live by Edinger. They were stopping randomly, but focusing on Trucks since there's so many truck clubs/gangs in the area. These are the idiots that do burnouts in my neighbourhood or drive 50 down my street where good kids and neighbors are enjoying their yards. Its ridiculous to suggest that this isn't having a good effect. I had 1 guy tailing me in his stupid 90 SUV on 20's bombing his stereo until he caught sight of the policy and then he shut that crap right down. And so he should, some of the illegal stereos are just stupidly loud. I'm even willing to go so far as to say, during the day time I don't care, but if you do this crap until 2-4am in the morning I'm going to report it.
