Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend is just around the corner and South Florida Law enforcement has a message for those planning to take part in a “Wheels Up, Guns Down” ride. Simply, just don’t do it.

Broward County Sheriff Gregory Tony announced that his department is 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.

In Miami-Dade, the Police Department is also teaming up with Florida Highway Patrol and they are trying to raise awareness about road safety. Saying that it is dangerous for community drivers and law enforcement as well.

A bit of history on this event. It actually started years ago and it was intended to honor Dr. King. However, recently, it’s become a dangerous avenue for stunts and racing on South Florida streets. Broward County Sheriffs, Miami-Dade Police and Florida Highway Patrol would also like to remind the public that off-road vehicles are banned from public roadways.
