Locals upset over LAPD's "No Stopping" signs ahead of lowrider cruise event in Highland Park
Some locals are angry over police appearing to crack down on a popular event involving lowriders cruising in Highland Park on Saturday night.
Owners of lowriders were excited to show off their classic rides during the planned cruise on York Boulevard, but said Los Angeles police are trying to deter them.
LAPD has put up “No Stopping” signs ahead of the cruising event, with heavy police presence expected. However, some drivers feel they’re being unfairly targeted and discriminated against.
“It’s very sad that they're trying to run us out of our own neighborhood,” said Tony Ruiz, a local car enthusiast. “We’re hardworking Angelenos. We don’t bother anybody. To fix an old Chevy car or any make of car costs a lot of money.”

I believe they should be able to cruise but the city doesn't want a situation to get out of hand, you get those young people who start acting up and doing stupid stuff then take away police calls when something on the other side of town is going on and the police need to be called for that too. That's what the permits are for, they could still cruise just not park.

@@anaheimauthentic5099 for all your whinny karen dissertation... It doesn't solve the the problem. If you want to have a parade, street fair, any event for any group, you just need a permit. This also means that you need to have organizers, entrance fees, a beginning and an end to the event, projected number of attendees etc. This means that the city can have notice, police and fire can have extra people on hand for the public event, local traffic and residents will know beforehand. This makes it a much more enjoyable event for everyone. It also means that when you're cruising you can make a full loop up and down and everyone can see your car from all angles. Then it would be smarter for terminated somewhere. Then they could have judges for different classes prices for those who participated and paid the entrance fees. Local businesses can contribute since you are actually bringing customers to their locations... It's a win-win-win and everybody is happy. The problem with car and bike culture if they don't like to play by the rules. They will have meetups and overwhelmed any given area. Way too many people for the amount of police that are on shift, traffic disruptions, violence, and the local communities and businesses are just supposed to deal with it. There's a right way and a wrong way to go about doing anything. With just the smallest amount of organization, the car culture can beat City governments at their own game.

The car show is usually started when guys get together downtown show off there cars. Then year after year they bring more people. It's a public event where cars park on a public road are not judged, and don't make any profit. It's just for people to show off. It's like me taking a 1956 ford Fairlane town sedan down town parking it and behind me parks a 1964 Chevy Nova, a 1969 Cadillac, and another classic car. Should I be fined if we have the same interest and decided to meet up the following year with more people? No, I should not because we are all people with the same interest showing off in public.

Yup in Northen California there are many small town's that file for permits it's usually car club's that get together and file for a permit every Friday or what ever date they are going to meet down town to show off there car's truck's or what ever they are going to show. All the store owner's like the people there because they get more business on that date than they would on a regular weekday. Some time's they even have live band's or a DJ playing music. People bring there chairs and kick back. Right now every year Petaluma Cal puts on GRAFFITI Night 50th anniversary for the movie Amrican Graffiti 1972 so this year is a special day. They have a live band food venders dress up like the 50's. Yeah if you have never been that's a pretty cool event. Like the whole town is on board with the Cruising. The crowd of people are really great to.
Typical LAPD always harassing the easiest victims rather than the outer law of taking over Los Angeles streets and damaging. Why are they bothering these peacemakers that just want to park their nice vehicles

We used to cruise Hollywood, and Whittier Blvd.'s back in the 70's, and those are still popular cruise streets. Why are they disallowing this cruise? Seems stupid to this 62 yo as there are a lot more problems when you have people coming from all over cruising in anything that has 2, or 4 wheels! This is an organised event with classic cars so people can come see the cars, and owners can show their hard work off! Seems offensive, and backwards to me. 🤦♂👍😎✌🗽

Absolutely no difference, and actually brings business to the area. I'm not certain what a permit involves, how much money it's going to cost for an event like this which is free any night of the week, mainly on Fri & Sat, but if it's a few $100, then maybe, but I have a feeling there's more involved than there appears to be or like you said, and I agree, why wouldn't they just get the permit? 👍😎✌🗽

I could have been doing worse things, than cruisin, and eating fast food! I don't think anything has changed, some park, most just cruise, and the problems associated with that are what they are then, and now. They can't control it when it's an everyday thing, mainly Fridays, and Saturdays. But, they do want to control it when it's an organized event that is really no different than any other cruise night. I'm not certain what parking problems would exist as these people are mostly hard working people who either come to show off their car, or just park, and check out the passing cars.

To that end I say what does it matter when the cops pick and choose what laws they want to enforce anyway. They'll be super strict on something as small as this but then the sheriff will go on national TV to tell you what laws he's not going to enforce and they're always bigger than this. Remember during a public health crisis we were ordered to do certain things and the sheriff said he would not enforce those laws or rules. My point is you need to enforce ALL of the laws and not pick and choose based on your personal preferences.

in the early 90s, alot of the guys into low riders were young and gang affiliated. There was always trouble at these cruzin get togethers because someone always had to pick a fight or bring guns to the spot. Now a days, the guys still low riding are the ones that were truly into the car culture and not into gangs or just doing it because it is trendy. Most of the guys today are older family guys that don't want the sort of trouble 90s low rider shows had.

Priorities I SoCal are definitely upside down. With all of the serious crime issues facing the area, they really feel that stopping cruising is that important. They are shootings at birthday parties, funerals, and many other places where people gather and they don’t ban any of those. It seems to me that they should put their resources to stop street takeovers where the danger to the public is so much greater than with people simply showing off their classic cars by cruising around at 20 mph. This kind of over policing makes me sick.
