Back in the mid-90s I used to go down to Weston Super Mare for the Sunday night cruise with a couple of mates and it used to be a good evening - parking up on the seafront, wander down the cars checking them all out and maybe heading into town for the arcades/chips. Never really had any problems except the odd person doing a burnout between the speed bumps.
A few years later this section of seafront was closed off by gates and you just ended up with people racing around the one way system, parking in the supermarket carpark or blocking up Maccy'Ds...
Motorbike cops are usually real bikers as well, and I'm pretty sure a lot of traffic officers can appreciated a well modified car, so why not allow the cruises to happen in an area - like at WSM seafront - where the cars can be contained and the police can have a wander around checking out the cars "advising" owners where necessary ?
