ACLU will watch Miami Beach cops
MIAMI BEACH, Fla., May 21 (UPI) --
American Civil Liberties Union observers will be in partying Miami Beach for Memorial Day weekend, watching how 600 police officers handle crowd control. Last year, 1,010 people were arrested in Miami Beach during the holiday weekend, more than double the previous year's arrests and 10 percent of the entire year's arrests, the Miami Herald reported. While 145 of the arrests were for felonies, many were for quality-of-life violations, such as open-container or loud music violations, the newspaper reported. "We were very concerned about the number of arrests that were made last year," Carlene Sawyer, president of the Greater Miami chapter of the ACLU told the Herald. "This is a weekend of primarily young people and people of color. We wanted to take the opportunity to look at this." Police from Miami and other departments will join Miami Beach's officers this holiday weekend. "We don't want to ruin that festive atmosphere, but by the same token people have to respect the law," police spokesman Bobby Hernandez told the Herald. "We're a very small community and we have to have strict guidelines."
