There's an even better way - stop feeding the Reporters. Just have
the local Law Enforcement advise all the Roach-Coach drivers that if
they showed up at the "news"-site, they'd get special attention WRT
Code Enforcement & selling stuff they aren't supposed to. The News
Crews won't stick around if nobody feeds them.

(I've successfully applied the inverse of this tactic during the last
Presidential Primary. We've got strict rules about reporters &
activists being a certain distance from the polls, which a lot of the
Out-of-State (National, mainly, but we get remote crews from Podunk,
Iowa and Hahira Georgia, too.) tend to ignore. Rather than forcing
them back, we stationed catering trucks at the periphery of the
parking lots, well away from the poll entrances. Works like a
charm.)



That's downright Zen tactics! Brilliant idea. :-D
