Miami‑Dade deputies crack down on MLK Weekend street takeovers
The Miami‑Dade Sheriff’s Office released the results of its MLK Weekend safety initiative, aimed at curbing the annual street “takeover” tradition that draws more than 100 participants and features burnouts, spins, and high‑speed racing with illegal vehicles. Deputies cracked down this year, making 17 arrests, impounding 16 vehicles — including ATVs and dirt bikes — and issuing 51 citations.
