Car meets are not illegal but can fall under antisocial behaviour, which give police the ability to arrest.

According to the Anti-social Behaviour, Crime and Policing Act 2014, antisocial behaviour is defined as "Conduct that has caused, or is likely to cause, harassment, alarm or distress to any person".

Offences including speeding, handbrake turns and criminal damage can also lead to police involvement.
