Riding in the cargo area is against the law. Police officers standing around doing nothing while a shitload of white guys are flagrantly breaking the law seems suspicious to me.
Cops also have assignments and if your job today is to keep the protest from getting too wild, then giving traffic tickets to an entire group as soon as they get there is not going to be a priority.
The U-Haul vans didn't drop them off, they picked them up afterwards. And according to various sources, the guys waited for some time for the vans to arrive.
And the license plates being obscured on private vehicles at the departure of the second march, as police again stand down?
If it doesn't look suspicious to you, that's cool. But I recall whan happened in Charlottesville, and I'm pretty sure if these guys weren't sanctioned, zog would come down on them any way they could.
I would obscure my license plate if I had to bring a car around counter protestors too.
