PORTAGE, Mich. — Portage has passed a new ordinance giving public safety officers additional tools to prevent mobile nuisance parties, X trains and intersection takeovers before they become a problem in the city. X trains are large, unauthorized gatherings of vehicles that drive through city streets.
The ordinance allows authorities to classify nuisance parties as misdemeanors and establish emergency police lines that, if crossed, could result in arrest — tools that were not previously available to officers.
