Los Angeles residents protest 'Fast and Furious' street races

Residents in Los Angeles's Angelino Heights protested the filming of "Fast X," claiming the "Fast and Furious" franchise has led to a dangerous surge in illegal street racing in their neighborhood.
Locals report that the movies glorify illegal street racing, turning their community into a "tourist destination" for dangerous stunts, causing constant noise, traumatizing children, and contributing to increased traffic violence.
Protesters are demanding Universal Pictures relocate future filming, and are urging the city to install speed humps and implement a zero-tolerance policy on street racing, additionally requesting a disclaimer in the films.
