Santa Ana City Council is reversing its original decision to impose both fines and potential jail time on illegal street race spectators.

The council in May voted in favor of the ordinance, which would have landed spectators with $1,000 fines and up to six months of jail time if they were caught within 200 feet of street racing activity. Residents would have been given a written warning for the first offense.
