OC Puts Focus On Disruptive Auto-Centered Events
Ocean City looks to put the brakes on tire-squealing, smoking spinouts that have frequently occurred during motor vehicle- related events.
A special events task force is looking into vehicle impoundments should such disruptive activities return, reports Maryland Coast Dispatch.
Non-registered participants tainted the past sanctioned and non-sanctioned events.
There are questions about whether previous special event zone legislation, which carries enhanced fines and penalties for violations during special events, was enough of a deterrent.
An enhanced bill was passed by the Maryland General Assembly during the late days of this year鈥檚 shortened session.
Ocean City Police have also introduced a Trespass Enforcement Authorization Program, which allows law enforcement to act upon violations that may occur in private business parking lots during off hours.
