Wait…low riders weren’t allowed to cruise in groups? We’ve been doing car cruises for decades, you’re telling me only low riders weren’t allowed? I’m so confused about this ban. How was it enforced?
No, all cars were banned from cruising. Or more specifically, banned from driving past the same place multiple times within a certain time frame. Low riders were affected, but the ban wasn’t targeting them out of some racial animus. It was to stop gangs and drug dealers. You could see “no cruising” signs in many parts of Los Angeles.
Saw a bunch of them in Hollywood a couple months back on Vine St on a Friday night. Some were bouncing, some are weird angles and all the crazy stuff. Nobody seemed to care besides their minor impact on traffic.

I dont get how that wouldn’t be a 1st amendment violation.
