IÔÇÖm going to add a long post later with some videoÔÇÖs from my trip to Jax this weekend. Long story short: they have been at this for a lot longer than we have and know how to handle cops and gathering areaÔÇÖs for weekend meetÔÇÖs. The videoÔÇÖs speak louder than what I type but basically they pick strategic locations, they meet at two places at once and travel between the two (sounds stupid I know, but itÔÇÖs not) the meet at a Sonics and overflow into a bank parking lot and an ArbyÔÇÖs with a strip mall parking lot behind it, once SonicÔÇÖs ArbyÔÇÖs and the bank are full, they overflow into the strip mall parking lot.
The cops dont run them off Why? Because Arbys and Sonics and the Bank have customers, they actually cater to the crowd by adding additional chairs and coffee and cocoa stands outside their parking lots. The cops dont run them off because people buy food, drink and use the ATM . The business owners want the crowds there (obviously, because they cater to them). The cops dont run the people in the strip mall off because Sonics and Arbys are full and their customers are having to park out back (and no establishment that is in the business of making money will call the cops on their customers).
They also do it to a large gas station, and you guessed it, the gas station caterÔÇÖs to them too they set up tables with coffee tinÔÇÖs and coolers with energy drinks for the crowds. When the cops show up, they tell them they donÔÇÖt need them and have a nice night.
What do we do We pile up in an empty parking lot of a closed business and get pissed when they run us off.
Wait till you see the videoÔÇÖs thereÔÇÖs some sick cars that are out on the street in Florida
