It's summer on the Jersey Shore. For many young people, that means one thing: Party time! But officials and residents say criminal justice reforms — such as decriminalizing marijuana use — have emboldened teens to run amok on beaches and boardwalks.
OCEAN CITY, N.J. — It's summer on the Jersey Shore. For many young people, that means one thing: Party time!
During Memorial Day weekend, police and media outlets reported episodes of underage drinking, drug use, fights and assaults in Ocean City and Seaside Heights — home to the infamous MTV series “Jersey Shore” in which a bunch of summer renters generally raised hell in town. “You're getting well more than 300 kids, if I had to guess, 700-plus a few nights, all acting wild,” she said. “Like a bad house party without the house. This is by far the worst it’s ever been.”
The New Jersey Attorney General's Office did not respond to requests for comment. The American Civil Liberties Union supported the changes, saying teens should be offered alternatives to criminal prosecution where possible. Nick DiMattina, a 15-year-old from Beachwood, New Jersey, said police should be allowed to conduct searches of underage people like himself. He learned of the change in the law on TikTok.
