Miami Beach Spring Break Looks Different! | $100 Parking, DUI Checkpoints 

You covered this better than the news. Nice work!

It's sad that this was even necessary. Can't blame Miami Beach though. Residents have a right to live in peace.

Not to sh!!t on anyone's enjoyment, BUT it needed to be done. I went to Spring Break back in 2011 in Miami and the people were acting like animals back then. It's just gonna get more out of control and violent. It needs to be stopped.

Chaos will not be tolerated! I approve.

Spring break Miami is now a police convention 😂

Great documentation of this historic crack down in Miami Beach

2 OPEN BOTTLES OF LIQUOR - DONT NEED TO BE DRIVING - GREAT JOB MIAMI!

i'm from Canada and have a winter home in Miami Beach which i am currently at and i glad these strict measures are in place. The disrespect shown by young people of the years was disgraceful.

Excellent report. Very detailed. Way better than regular news.

great coverage, thanks joel.

As a black man GOOD. Im happy they finally doing it. Quadruped the fines.

Every city, town and neighborhood is trying to break up with “spring breakers” 😂

Welcome to the world of respecting rules young generation 😂😂 it is time for you to understand that you cannot do everything you want as you want! It is time to be responsible !

People do not understand economic impact. If an event brings in 100 million but has 300 million of cleanup you are negative 200 million. The juice isn't worth the squeeze. Food has very little profit to it except appetizers and desserts. Bottled beer has very little profit. Most money is in draft beers on tap and then specialty drinks often highest yield. Unfortunately what tends to make the most profit also is ripe for the most chaos and destruction. Some people are nice drunks, some angry, some stupid and others go through all the above.

Love it. Rules are rules. They don't have to be so rowdy to have fun. And in the case last year. Lost of life. They brought this on themselves.

Great coverage as always Joel, many thanks! Can’t wait to see next weekend if things remain the same.

Miami looked at what happened to NYC and was like NAH, we actually have a brain

Glad to see how SAFE walking down miami beach and the avenues in the video. Keep it up Joel! cant wait for the update for this coming weekend

Excellent efforts by government, stopping violence is important, the community should be safer. Students will find a new place to enjoy spring break!

Banning all spirit airlines flights from Baltimore and Philadelphia to Miami will solve their problems real quick

It's crazy because Governor De Santis was inviting them to come to Miami. Tell them we were open for business. Now that you have called the worst people, you have heavy security. 😅😅😅😅

Good job Miami. I wouldn’t want my beautiful little town and Beach torn up by spring break either.

Love it ….. way to go Miami Beach ….. best beach improvement project yet …. I haven’t seen anyone rubbing their dirty ass on the street or sidewalk this year …. what’s it called, twerking ? … so much cultural enrichment

Thank you to Joel Franco for this realistic view of what's happening.I feel bad for the the common everyday workers that have to endure this

Thanks for the video !

Usual suspects are not welcome here

If you keep the hood out everything is fine

Miami ain’t playing 😂😂. I wonder if they will do this every year 🤔

The city of my birth makes me proud!! Thank you Miami!!! 🌴 🏝️🔥👍

The sidewalk dining was completely ravaged by the ghetto, hip hop , 7th grade drop out, invaders dining and dashing leaving restaurant owners with $1,000s of dollars of losses. It’s not the true college kids ruining spring break.

Excellent work, Joel!

Spring break got so bad in Daytona Beach, the sheriff took control over the beach side from the city!😮

thank you for sharing!!

I'm so glad our Governor is taking action to keep us Floridans safe! Enough is enough. We can't just go to their state and destroy it, so they shouldn't be allowed to do it here. They're going to try to come here to Tampa but hopefully, we have the same tactics in place here!!

Not emptiness, but no darkness. Long overdue. Take back the city, now do this at every beach.

Love it. I’m officially old. My spring break was when Freaknik (ATL) & Black College Week in Daytona and other places was a thing. The shit we did with no curfews , no crackdowns and no social media. Were epic!

Them ninjas really fed stuff up.

Mexican authorities were warning spring breakers to NOT come to Cancun due to active cartel battles.

Great job 🎉

That's awsome!!!! Great job miami!!! Oh and for the rest of you.....THIS IS CALLED BEING CIVIL

People are tired of the bullshyt. Every adult was once young and understand having fun and blowing off some steam. That said, there is a world of difference between letting lose and being a giant disrespectful nuisance to everybody who lives where you are visiting.

Great video bro. Unfortunately I approve what the police are doing for years south Beach has turned in to a dump specially during spring break. Time to clean up the city and get all this bad people to stop coming to our beautiful South Beach.

Enjoy your videos. Keep up the great work!

This is a practice run for something bigger to come

It looks great! Next weekend is the TRUE test! Lol

Great reporting. Very comprehensive.

I followed you on Twitter for years! Glad you’re making videos now !!

Great job Miami! Greetings from Orlando.

Great commentary. I subscribed so I can watch the rewl Miami action 😊

I freaking love that FL is doing this!!

Wow! Just found your channel with this video. Keep up the good work.

I LOVE it!!!

Love it! Miami is too beautiful for it to be destroyed by animals from other states during certain parts of the year. I still wanna know where those animals are going now though.

Danm they aren’t playing

It’s about damn time ! The beach has never been the same for the past 10 years! I live 20 minutes away and haven’t been able to enjoy south beach since then !

Hopefully the business in downtown will reap the benefits

This is how you keep your City safe.

Spring break is so ridiculous anyhow should just get rid of it

I celebrated spring break in highschool back in the late 90s and it was lit. Can't imagine what would make it so bad that normal spring break hot spots are turning people away.

Nice reporting. Love this guy's style.

Fantastic 👏🏼👏🏼👏🏼….. great work Miami Beach, state of Florida , and police …. get that trash and junior high drop-outs OUTTA THERE!!! And they can take the $5 they each were going to spend ( maybe … unless they could dine n’ dash ) and the weed they were going to smoke and or sell with them …. good riddance

It looks awesome.. nice and orderly for decent people to enjoy themselves

Very nice strategy.....salute

Good job!

Appreciate the unbiased reporting. Good things like having fun and supporting a local area with tourism gave way to complete chaos, would love to see some type of middle ground where people can party but still respect each other.

It's about GD time !!!

This is an interesting video Joel. Are you going to make another video 03/23 when Dade and Broward has their Spring Break? Have a good one!

Awesome!

Looks like the city and businesses will make just as much money as before. No cleanup costs and no riff raff losses.

Miami will happily bus spring breakers to other states.

I went to Miami around the spring of 2019. It was out of control, and I had to get out of there. Shootings, Stampede's, dirt bikes on the street, & car chases. They had to eventually declare a state of emergency in Miami.

Will this continue into April? Was planning on the 42nd street garage (G6) in early April not being $100!!

wow, about time...

It's about time.

Look up "Miami spring break," then watch the madness. I honestly don't blame them.

I read somewhere they said Florida is trying to breakup with spring breakers but they're not getting the hint 😂😂😂

About time they stopped the madness.

In the end, where did you park at and how much was it?

I wonder how the business owners feel about the change.

I usually solo travel to Miami around this time, choose Isla verde beach PR this year for a week. Less partiers, cheaper food, and drinks don't cost an arm and a leg. a poolside beer is 5$ Versus 10 to 15 at many places in Miami beach

I enjoyed partying during spring break back in the day, and I don't have a problem with kids having fun during these times. Yea, there were rowdy crowds and sometimes fights inside clubs, which security took care of. But, these kids nowadays don't know how to have fun. If you fight, okay, it happens, but you live and learn. These kids are afraid to get a beating and are so quick to pull out a weapon. I'm glad I grew up when times were different.

Businesses must be loving this ha

Maybe they don't want people there!!!?! Good on Miami!!!

Awesome.

I was in Miami yesterday for the first time. Not here for spring break, but this crackdown is interesting to me. Inspiring. Good for law and order to prevail over jack-a$$ery.

Its not us , its YOU ! 🤣

Imagine spending money on vacation just to destroy property, and get wasted.

nice 😊

Finally Good for south beach

If I had a parking garage in the area I'd be charging 500

I wonder who's the blame for this. It looks like 97 before the buffoonery started

If only they would take it this seriously for mass shoplifters thats going throughout the nation, we would be in a better place.

I’m glad I had my fun on south beach in my 20’s. Good luck New gen

Miami Beach overdid it. Its a town built on party tourism. Maybe they should study how New Orleans handles Mardi Gras every year.

I bet the businesses lost so much money .

Is that going to affect local business that depends on tourism?

Wonder if those barricades are city owned or if some company is getting rich renting them for a few weeks 24/7.

Miami forgetting it’s draw (originally) is a bold decision.

I haven't been to spring break ever because of the wild people acting reckless, hopefully now I can go and have a good experience!

goddamn! that's alot of law enforcement
