2 things. Firstly, a judge can't just make up a law like that. I would be interested to see the written legislation on this as i can guarantee its uneducated arseholes making a lot of assumptions because apparently the police hate all modified car owners which isn't true.
Secondly, the police have been cracking down on cruises and meets for a long time but you need to take this with a pinch of salt. The people that moan because they have had a meet broken up are the sort that do 40 in a 20 and slag the police off because they got a speeding ticket yet they don't realise its them thats stupid for getting caught and doing it in the first place!
If you are being peaceful, respectful to locals and people passing and driving sensibly and courteously, the police will leave you alone. If however you are sitting in mcdonnalds revving your engine, playing music stupidly loud into the early hours and driving like a tit, you will get a fine and get moved on.
The other thing you need to remember is most meets are in car parks which are privately owned and you are only allowed permission to park there if you are a customer of the landlords Tennant. If you're not, you are trespassing. This needs to be taken into account with meets. The big one that keeps popping up is the Essex Cruise at blue water. Ive recently seen a petition going around Facebook trying to get people to sign to get the meet back at bluewater yet has no one realised its private land?!
Take it all with a pinch of salt and don't be drawn in by the hype. All the people moaning are mostly chavvy wankers. All of those sensible people who have taken 5 minutes to read into it would realise it won't affect you if you're not doing anything wrong!
