Ocean City, New Jersey, introduced two new laws in response to a rowdy Memorial Day weekend that resulted in 1,000 police reports. The laws include a tighter curfew for minors and a ban on backpacks on the boardwalk and beach, aimed at controlling crowds of unruly teens this summer.
The mayor of Ocean City, New Jersey, has introduced new beach and boardwalk rules after large crowds of drunken teenagers caused chaos over Memorial Day weekend. The emergency city council meeting has been called to take action against unruly teenagers. The new measures include closing all beaches in Ocean City at 8 p.m., no backpacks allowed on the beach or boardwalk after 8 p.m., moving up the city's curfew for teenagers from 1 a.m. to 11 p.m., and boardwalk bathrooms closing at 10 p.m. The mayor argues the orders are needed because new laws at the state level have put limits on how police can respond to rowdy teens.
