Committee approves proposal to allow Milwaukee Police to ticket illegal street racing spectators

MILWAUKEE (CBS 58) -- A committee approved a proposal to allow Milwaukee Police to ticket spectators caught watching illegal street racing.

Spectators knowingly attending illegal races can be fined between $20 and $400 dollars.

The proposal passed the Public Safety and Health Committee but still has to clear the full Common Council.

City Council members say the races typically happen early in the morning.
