Agree but not sure how you regulate it. You could try licensing and such but anyone with a car and phone with a weather app could chase, and simply tell authorities they’re a regular driver heading to such and such and you can’t prove they’re chasing storms.

Outside of shutting down highways in higher risk regions to emergency vehicles and professional chasers only in not sure what you could do. You’d have to close all businesses in that region and patrol the highways. Would be difficult and cause a lot of backlash every time a severe outbreak doesn’t materialize to the hype


I honestly don’t know the answer but something will have to be done at some point.

Perhaps a permit costing $250. And issued a Chaser magnetic sign put on top of vehicle. Take money and use to enhance enforcement maybe paying off duty officers?

Paying chasers have video constantly rolling so would have video evidence of non paying chasers.

I know thats out there and won’t work as I detailed but something has to be done. Offenders could be required to attend a 4 hour tornado chasing safety course which can be helpful to teach them. It would be easy to tell if they had reasons to be i the chase area.

I’m jjst throwing stuff out there rather than just complain even if it won’t work.

You could pass a law that news stations and social media platforms can’t monetize footage from non licensed chasers. Only can use footage from pros, or people who filmed from their own home/property

Take away the incentive. You’ll still get some who do it for thrills, but it’ll cull some of them looking to create content for profit

I just don't think you'd get much revenue doing this. I think there MIGHT be 20 guys who pay it, that's not gonna amount to much revenue
