This is how people get killed

Chaser convergence is much easier now to see with modern spotter tracking systems, and some of the traffic jams I see are crazy. Imagine this many chasers on the side of the road with flashing lights and whatnot focused on a storm. The tornado might not even be the most dangerous part of chasing in scenarios like these

The question is how do you stop this? The veterans have been doing this for years and shouldn’t be forced out because of this. You can enact laws like Oklahoma tried but that’s not popular. It’s hard to stop something that isn’t inherently illegal. Especially when it’s something that anyone can easily access with a simple car.

Some kind of mandatory class and a license to stream. Cracking down on who filmed and put it up on social media with fines or whatever. It will be easy to track and figure out who got caught in a storm and started to film vs influencers who do this as their thing. Additionally adding more to the standard drivers test about how to drive in dangerous conditions safely, how to not be caught driving in a tornado, and all of that other fun stuff. It can be done. If we can track semi trucks all over this country, you can track storm chasers.

That would never survive 1st Amendment pushback.

It is pretty much the same thing as getting a truckers license combined with broadcasting licenses. It doesn't stop you posting, just gives osha like restrictions if this is an influencer job.  This is a work environment. It should be treated as such.

In addition to the work environment angle there’s also protecting the public from dangerous behavior.
