Uthmeier says ‘teen takeover’ participants could legally be run over, charged with racketeering
Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier stated that teens participating in violent 'takeover' riots could be charged with racketeering and legally be run over under Florida's 'anti-riot' law. The comments followed a shooting during a Clearwater Beach event and increased police presence in areas affected by the unsanctioned gatherings, which have led to blocked traffic, violence, and arrests.
