Miami Beach Police took alcohol and drugs away from spring breakers as they sifted through the Florida vacation crowd on Friday after holding an emergency council meeting where there was talk of imposing a curfew.
An additional 80 officers from the department were deployed and outside agencies assisted with approximately 70 more officers coming in as the party crowd caused quite the scene.
Among those people was a college crowd posing up to lick Reddi Whip off each others bodies.

Others frolicked around on the sand pointing at a sign speaking out against toxic heavy fuels used by Carnival Cruise Lines as a ship sailed below it.
But elsewhere law enforcement was focused on breaking up fights and keeping revelers under control by night.
While it's all fun and games for visitors, the cops had the best interests of those there all-year-round at heart.
'It is vital that our residents feel safe in our city — nothing is more important than preserving quality of life,' said Mayor Dan Gelber. 'We also welcome all visitors as long as they follow our laws and respect our community. This is not a place where anything goes, and if that is their reason for coming here, they should go elsewhere.'
The US holiday known for excessive partying every March sees the bar-lined ocean-front area fill up with students from across the country, drinking, partying and stripping down to the bare essentials.
The drunken revelry has reached such chaotic heights this year -- with drunken brawls on the beachfront and a tourist falling to her death out of a car window -- that the authorities have decided to call time on the wild festivities.

The authorities have said they will no longer ignore people consuming alcohol or lighting up joints on the beach and drove ATVs directly through a sea of sunbathers relaxing on beach towels.
Miami Beach Commisioner Mark Samuelian said: 'As Spring Break continues to attract more visitors to our community, the City of Miami Beach has deployed an average of 117 goodwill ambassadors every day from Friday through Sunday last week, and will deploy an average of 134 goodwill ambassadors every day this weekend.
Riot police have begun patrolling the waterfront, with police vans parked nearby to detain party people who go too far.
'We will also be patrolling the shorelines to effectively monitor the crowds on the beach. Please enjoy our waters and beaches while following our safety rules and regulations,' Miami Beach Police tweeted.

A residential boundary around the entire Flamingo Park area took effect Friday and Saturday evenings. Flamingo Park residents were told to carry a photo ID with them to access the area. Similar steps were taken to protect the residents in the South of Fifth neighborhood.
Traffic and parking were also affected by the final week of Spring break. The Julia Tuttle will have two lanes open at all times and one lane closed Saturday from 10pm to 3am. It was the same case on Friday night.
Ocean Drive, where happy hour discounts on monster-sized cocktails are popular, remained pedestrian only and parking was removed on Collins Avenue between 5-15 streets.

Plainclothes police officers mingling with the crowd and the various closures was a comprise so cops didn't have the shut the whole thing down after complaints from residents.
'You can't stop people from having fun,' said Marta Ramirez, a 70-year-old resident of Miami Beach. 'But they should try to show a little more respect. Let them dance and have fun, but with order.'
The police slogan for those heading to Miami for Spring Break this year was 'Come on vacation, don't leave on probation' but with the streets reeking of urine each morning. it's clear the crowd has been up to no good.
'I thank all of our law enforcement and first responders for working long, difficult days and nights to keep us safe and for exercising their best judgment under trying circumstances. We appreciate their service,' added Mayor Gelber.

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
