One Text Ahead of the Cops | Sioux County, IA

For generations, most every teenager in Sioux County, Iowa, has cruised Highway 75 on Sunday nights. They gather to hook up, show off, and hang out. The cops can still remember cruising as kids themselves, but now they’re enforcers, cracking down at the urging of shop owners angry with the litter and crowds. The cruisers have adapted. When they’re shooed along, they use text messages to reorganize and regroup at new locations on the fly.
