Shoup confirmed on Wednesday that he has no plans to make H20i a sanctioned event in Ocean City.
“There is no reason for me to sanction the event in Ocean City because the event is not held in Ocean City. My event has always been outside of the city. The people that choose to come, whether it is a spectator or a participant, they have the choice where to stay,” he said. “As far as my putting forth efforts to control crowds, that is near impossible. The event as a whole is not the problem. As we have discussed in these meetings [with town officials], the event at Fort Whaley campground has never had an issue, so unfortunately whatever issues Ocean City is incurring is based off of the individuals that are staying in Ocean City.”

This right here is why the OCPD target the event. If this dickbag were to y'know..work WITH the city instead of saying, "lol not my problem", I bet you'd see a change in the attitude of the police instantly.
Seriously, what a douche. It's his event, his responsibility not only to the city that the event invariably invades, but to the participants that are getting harassed and having their cars impounded over BS.
What do you want to bet that the muscle car event is sponsored by the city or is at least a "sanctioned" event?
