Sen. Martin Applauds “Street Takeover” Bill’s Overwhelming Passage in CT Senate

Sen. Henri Martin applauded the State Senate’s May 7 overwhelming passage of a bill that would allow law enforcement to confiscate driver’s licenses or vehicles used in so-called “street takeovers” in addition to authorizing municipalities to adopt ordinances related to street takeovers and destroy seized vehicles after 30 days.

“This is a positive step.

The mayhem in our communities must stop.

We see it happening across our state on a frequent basis.

Putting lives in danger. Sapping law enforcement resources. Destroying property.

Deterrents to the chaos on our streets must be put in place.

We must get this over the finish line and make Connecticut safer.”

The bill now awaits a vote in the House of Representatives.
