Los Angeles County will intensify surveillance against illegal occupation of streets during the holiday period, with the threat of imposing financial penalties of up to $1,000 for people who participate in the incidents.
County officials said drivers, organizers and people who promote illegal street occupations on social media may face penalties under newly increased fines aimed at stopping dangerous gatherings.
On Sunday, June 28, a shooting that occurred during an illegal street occupation in Carson left one person dead and six others injured, authorities reported.
