With larger street events like this it’s not uncommon to request a police escort to ensure smooth travel of the clientele and prevent public injury

Some municipalities will require it for the permit.

edit: Also having traffic control could be to comply with their luxury car club's insurance policy. Millions of dollars of cars driving anywhere is gonna be worth the premium.

I'm having a really hard time right now not throwing salt at the ignorance of people sharpening their pitch forks over this.

I’m sure they’re also gonna get a LOT of “loud car on my street!! My baby is asleep!” 911 calls if there wasn’t a police presence lol

lol sounds like my neighborhood. All the Karen’s on the street PANIC on 4th o July from small fireworks. Like, it’s only one day of the year, grow up and learn to have fun.

And, legalities aside... the cops probably thought it was cool too and were happy to show up.

Brother, it's like 10 cars, those officers are there to gawk at the cars and collect overtime, not for safety or insurance.

Do you need a permit to drive a caravan through a neighborhood? I guess that kind of makes sense if so, I'd never thought of it. And if so, at what size does the rule kick in? I've certainly been part of 3-4 car caravans before, now I'm wondering if I broke some law.

Probably varies on a very local level (town or county).

I'm guessing that as a supercar group, they have regular meets, and have had experience with any applicable laws or other "gotchyas" to know how to protect themselves.

Or maybe the kid also wanted to see cop cars and they were invited too.

This gives strong pandemic vibes (masks and the social distancing) and I think people were getting really creative to break monotony.

It's probably to comply with their luxury car club's insurance policy. Police get contracted $$ so they're obviously gonna do it.
