San Francisco May Crack Down On Flash Mobs 10

San Francisco official say they are considering having a group of police officers suddenly appear to arrest people in flash mobs, and then disperse off to jail. This year's Valentine's Day pillow fight has angered some officials. They say the episode left the city with thousands of dollars in damage and cleanup costs due to mounds of wet, sticky feathers. The promoters of the counterculture event, now in its fourth year, must take responsibility for future happenings or "otherwise we are going to have to find a way to shut it down," said Lisa Seitz Gruwell of the Recreation and Park Department.

      It's San Francisco. No one will notice.

      As long as everybody obides by the local poop-and-scoop laws then I don't see a problem. There should be no extra expense to the city.

    Simple answer: shorter flash mobs. Assemble and disburse before cops show up. As an extra precaution, have a disburse word or flag: if someone spots a cop or a horde thereof, yell the word and everyone goes away.
