Spider, there was trouble a good few years ago that precipitated the crackdown but that seems to be past us. As many riders (myself included!) have gotten older we have mellowed out.
There is a substation right at the W where reserve officers can wait and respond if needed. What is going on now just is not welcoming at all.
