Following the two deaths during Spring Break last year in Miami Beach — and over 500 arrests — the city announced new rules.
Along with curfews and beach closures, there will be mandated bag checks, DUI checkpoints, license plate readers, liquor stores shutting at 8 pm and more police patrolling.
Commissioner David Suarez said: ‘We are shutting it down. We really mean it this time. We are not taking half-measures. We really are doing everything we can to end Spring Break.’
Miami Beach Mayor Steven Meiner said this week: ‘We need to correct these issues, we need to do it now and we’re going to be very proactive. And if somebody thinks we’re doing too much, well, that means we’re probably doing it right.”
