Santa Ana residents apparently got pretty riled up over Mexico’s World Cup victory against the Croatians.  According to the Santa Ana CopWatch Facebook page at least 30 Santa Ana Police Department cars showed up at Bristol and McFadden and started closing up streets in reaction to the spontaneous victory celebration.

The fan reaction reportedly included marching up and down Bristol Street and cruising.  The latter, in particular, is frowned upon by the SAPD. Continue reading→

I have gotten a hold of an email from the Santa Ana Police Department indicating that they are planning a major crackdown on Santa Ana’s Easter Cruisers. The note appears below in its entirety.

The crackdown includes numerous street and lane closures and over 100 police officers!

I don’t get it. Our city is flat broke. How is the SAPD paying for this and why are they doing this?
