FORT LAUDERDALE (CBSMiami) – With the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend right around the corner, South Florida law enforcement has a message for those planning to take part in a “Wheels Up, Guns Down” ride.
Just don’t do it.
The annual event started as a way to honor Dr. King. However, in recent years, it’s become a dangerous display of stunts and racing on South Florida streets.
On Thursday, Broward Sheriff Gregory Tony announced that his department was teaming up with the Florida Highway Patrol and several police agencies in the county to enforce a zero-tolerance policy for reckless and dangerous riding.
They plan to use helicopters for air surveillance and have deputies and officers positioned around the county ready to take action when needed.
He also reminded people that dirt bikes and ATV’s are not only dangerous but also illegal on I-95 and Florida expressways.
Last year in Broward, 18 criminal citations were issued, 14 arrests were made, and 16 bikes were towed.
In Miami-Dade, 41 ATVs and dirt bikes were impounded, two firearms seized, and 28 arrests were made
The sheriff’s office and the police are urging the public to say something if they see something suspicious.
