Scores of Free National Movement supporters participated in a motorcade on Saturday that was aimed at convincing former Prime Minister Hubert Inghrahm to run for the party’s top post during its convention this week.

The Chief of Police may, in his or her discretion, consider any application for a permit to conduct a parade or motorcade which is filed less than 30 days prior to the date the parade or motorcade is to be conducted.

In Plumlee's November 21, 2004 personal statement, which appears at http://www.jfkchat.com/plumlee1.html, he indicates the assassination attempt was to take place in the vicinity of the Adolphus Hotel at Main and Akard, which is one-half mile east of Dealey Plaza.
In theory, the motorcade could have driven on Elm Street, which is still a one-way street heading west.
But if that had happened, the motorcade would have passed a block north - and out of view - of the Adolphus, thereby removing it from being a possible location for the assassination.

A motorcade, which its organisers say will carry a message of peace and hopefully inspire a halt to violence, is to snake its way through inner-city communities between Kingston and May Pen on Sunday, urging those who kill to put down their weapons - at least for the day.

 POLITICS AND PRESIDENTIAL PROTECTION: THE MOTORCADE
Sorrels explained that the size and cumbersomeness of the motorcade, along with the presence of a raised divider separating the Elm Street lane from the Elm Street lane at the foot of the ramp up to the expressway, deterred him from trying to route the motorcade under and through the overpass on Main Street.
As to actual deployment of the cycles, DPD officers Billy Joe Martin and Bobby W. Harris were assigned to ride immediately to the left and rear of Kennedy's limousine.* (259) Martin stated that he rode 5 feet to the left and 6 to 8 feet to the rear of the back bumper.
The straggling of Haygood and Baker, on the right rear area of the limousine, weakened security that was already reduced due to the rearward deployment of the motorcycles and to the reduction of the number of motorcycles originally intended for use.
