   Miami Beach police have seized at least 102 firearms so far this   
   spring break season, officials say, as the city reportedly will   
   announce an extension of a state of emergency Tuesday in hopes   
   of cracking down on the unruly crowds.   
      
   Interim City Manager Raul Aguila, in a letter sent this week to   
   Miami Beach's mayor and City Commission, said there were 1,050   
   arrests between Feb. 3 and March 21 in addition to the gun   
   seizures.   
      
   Of those arrests, 278 involved public consumption of drugs, 182   
   involved obstruction and resisting arrest, and 21 were taken   
   into custody for reckless driving, Aguila added in the letter,   
   which was obtained by Fox News.

   JUST A SPRING BREAK CROWD’   
      
   He also said 542 of those arrested live outside of Florida,   
   while 157 identified themselves as homeless residents of Miami.   
      
   The figures are emerging as Miami Beach is expected to prolong a   
   state of emergency on Tuesday.   
      
   Melissa Berthier, a spokesperson for the city, told USA Today   
   that the extension will authorize a curfew from Thursday night   
   through early Monday that is eligible to go into effect weekly   
   through April 13.   
      
   "We definitely want people to come and have fun," Miami Beach   
   Commissioner Ricky Arriola said Monday, according to the   
   Associated Press. "It's a nightlife city. We want people of all   
   races, genders, sexual orientation. But we can’t tolerate people   
   thinking they can come here and act out a scene from ‘Fast and   
   the Furious,’ speeding down the streets and shooting guns in the   
   air."   
      
   Some tourists are angry about the curfew, which they say has put   
   a damper on long-sought vacations for which they paid good   
   money. Meanwhile, some officials say they should have enacted   
   more stringent measures sooner – as was done in New Orleans   
   prior to Mardi Gras last month – instead of reacting in the   
   middle of the chaos.   
      
   But Arriola and other commissioners are arguing that the city   
   may need an entirely different approach to give itself a new   
   image.

   They note that over the past few spring break seasons, Miami   
   Beach has been steadily upping the ante with new rules and   
   regulations, such as banning scooter rentals after 7 p.m.,   
   restricting alcohol sales after 8 p.m. and cracking down on loud   
   music – to no avail.   
      
   "Every year we come up with new restrictions and they have no   
   impact, so at what point are we going to try something new?"   
   asked Arriola, who suggested hosting more family-oriented and   
   business-friendly events.
