The City of Miami Beach has released a video discouraging rabble-rousers from descending upon the beach for Spring Break. The video starts with a tongue-in-cheek breakup speech that would typically happen at the end of two people dating. Toward the end, people in the video outline how Miami Beach will crack down on crime for Spring Break. Heavy parking fines, enforcement for drugs & alcohol, and other things are part of the city’s plan to control crime on the beach. This comes after years of problems caused by misbehaving tourists. Offenses ranging from mundane things like parking violations to shootings have unfortunately become the norm for Spring Break in Miami.
