"Earlier this month, the LAPD's Valley Traffic Division launched a new Special Enforcement Team to target street racers"

LAist:
We have more personnel this time around. Some nights, I'll have up to 15 officers. We go out to the locations that are frequented by the street racers and we use certain tactics to shut down the roadways ... and make arrests.

...

Does your team do any undercover work?

We do that tactic on occasion, but they're just a spectator. We don't (get involved) in any illegal activity or anything that's going to bring danger to anything else or officers who are trying to stop that activity. They're not racing or out there doing donuts.
