Overview
- Multiple outlets on September 9 aggregated social media posts claiming plainclothes officers are patrolling Universal Studios Florida during HHN nights.
- A Reddit user, u/Fearless-Park-4537, said they were stopped twice—once during the day and once before entering a haunted house—by suspected officers checking IDs.
- Some Facebook posts claimed Universal team members acknowledged plainclothes police, though those assertions have not been verified.
- Guests report bright yellow wristbands for those 21 and over to streamline alcohol sales and reduce repeated ID checks.
- Commenters suggest the reported presence targets underage drinking, line-cutting, and rowdy behavior as accounts of guest and performer altercations continue.
