TWO PARTY SYSTEM IS BROKEN.
I'M NOT RUNNING AGAINST THE
DEMOCRATIC PARTY IF I RUN FOR
PRESIDENT.
I'M RUNNING AGAINST THE TWO
PARTY SYSTEM BECAUSE THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE DESERVE BETTER.
THEY SPOKE AT LENGTH AT
SOUTHER OF THEIR TOPICS FOR YOU
CONSIDER SUNDAY AT 11:30 AM ON
CBS4.
SPRING BREAK IS HERE AND
THAT MEANS TRAFFIC AND CHANGES
YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT.
MIAMI POLICES LETTING YOU KNOW
WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW ABOUT.
OCEAN DRIVE WILL BE CLOSED TO
CARS, NO VEHICLES WILL BE
ALLOWED ON THAT STREET UNTIL 3
AM MONDAY.
AND THEN REPEATS THE FOLLOWING
WEEKEND.
ALSO, THERE WILL BE TIMES
TRAFFIC GOING EAST IN THE
TUNNEL AND THE CAUSEWAY SO THEY
WILL BE REDUCED TO ONE LANE.
THAT STARTS FRIDAY NIGHT AND
LAST INTO MONDAY MORNING.
YOU CAN FIND THE DETAILS ON OUR
WEBSITE AT CBSMIAMI.COM.
JOINING US NOW IS OFFICER
ERNESTO RODRIGUEZ, THE
SPOKESMAN FOR THE MIAMI BEACH
POLICE DEPARTMENT.
WELCOMING GREAT TO HAVE YOU
HERE.
WE KNOW IT'S TOUGH TO GET BACK
TO THE BEACH SO WE APPRECIATE
YOU COMING.
YOU HAVE GRAPHICS, SHOWING YOUR
PR CAMPAIGN.
SAYS, ON VACATION, DON'T LEAVE
ON PROBATION.
VERY CLEVER.
WHAT MADE YOU FEEL THE NEED TO
PROACTIVELY ASK PEOPLE TO KEEP
CALM? IT WAS LITERALLY AROUND
THE TABLE AND WE SAID WE NEED
TO CONNECT TO THE KIDS.
YOUR TYPICAL MESSAGING DOESN'T
WORK.
IT IS DIGITAL MESSAGING TO
THAT'S WHY EVERYONE IS ON THEIR
PHONE.
THE CITY SPENT A LOT OF MONEY
TO CREATE THIS MESSAGING, TO
REACH OUT TO THE COMMUNITY TO
LET THEM KNOW THAT WE ARE DOING
SOMETHING. EACH SPRING BREAK
BRINGS MORE AND MORE PEOPLE, IS
AN INCREASE IN ARRESTS AND
RECKLESS BEHAVIOR.
WANT TO TRY TO CURB THAT BID
YOU REACHED OUT TO THE
SCHOOLS AND SAID, ENCOURAGE
YOUR STUDENTS TO BEHAVE WHEN
THEY COME DOWN HERE.
WHAT IS THE RESPONSE YOU GOT?
THE POLICE CHIEF SENT OUT
LETTERS IN NOVEMBER 200S OF
COLLEGES AND UNIVERSITIES AND
BASICALLY TOLD THEM WE ARE
GOING TO BE OUT HERE ENFORCING
THE RULES.
AND YOU WANT YOUR STUDENTS TO
BEHAVE.
IT WAS A LITTLE BIT OF
FEEDBACK, NOT MUCH AT THIS
POINT . THAT IS CHANGED IN THE
PAST DAY OR SO. IT IS ALREADY
UNDERWAY, HOW ARE THE CROWDS
THIS YEAR SO FAR?
WE SEE MORE CROWDS ALREADY.
THIS WEEKEND COMING UP NEXT
WEEK WILL BE A THE BIGGEST
TEST, TO SAY YOU KNOW, THE TWO
BUSIEST WEEKENDS OF THE SPRING
BREAK.
WE EXPECT HUNDREDS OF THOUSANDS
OF FOLKS TO BE FLOCKING TO THE
BEACH TRAFFIC A HUGE PART AND
THE COPS WILL BE OUT ON THE
STREETS, DRINKING IN PUBLIC.
SMOKING MARIJUANA AND ALL THOSE
TYPE OF OFFENSES THAT WILL BE
REALLY ENFORCED.
WE HAD HEARD EARLIER THERE
WAS TALK THEY WERE ACTUALLY
GOING TO NOTIFY SCHOOLS OF SOME
OF THE STUDENTS GOT IN TROUBLE,
BUT THEN I UNDERSTAND IT WAS
ABOUT FACE ON THAT BID WHY THE
CHANGE OF HEART? ANY POLICE
AGENCY I THINK, IT WAS
ANNOUNCED.
WE REVIEWED IT, THE CHIEF
REVIEWED IT.
I THINK.
AND JUST, REALIZED YOU KNOW A
LOT OF RESISTANCE IN THE
COMMUNITY AND THAT MAYBE IT
WASN'T THE RIGHT APPROACH AT
THIS POINT.
SO IT IS THE SAME MESSAGE, COME
ON VACATION I DON'T LEAVE ON
PROBATION BY NOTIFYING THE
SCHOOLS WE MAY NOT ACTUALLY
DOING
HOW DO YOU TAKE ON ALL THOSE
CROWDS?
DO YOU HAVE AS A SENSOR OF
OTHER AGENCIES?
THAT'S A LOT OF PEOPLE IN MIAMI
BEACH.
WE HAVE ABOUT 400 OFFICERS
AND LET ME TAKE A VERY FEW DAYS
OFF FOR THE NEXT FEW WEEKS.
AND VERY, VERY LONG HOURS.
ALL OF THAT COMES AT A COST BUT
SAFETY CAN'T PUT A PRICE ON
SAFETY.
THE PEOPLE LIVE HERE THAT
SAID THE CAUSEWAY WILL BE
RELEASED TO ONE LANE?
WE ARE REDUCING TO TWO LANES
WE CHANGE THAT WAS WELL BUT I
DON'T WANT TO GIVE
MISCONCEPTIONS THERE THERE WILL
BE, THERE WILL BE TRAFFIC JUST
