Police won't pursue ATVs because of "safety concerns" and the perps keep getting bolder.

I watch a lot of those “dirt bikes vs police” youtube videos. They are pretty interesting. It includes both two wheel and four wheelers on public streets and they literally taunt the police and then just leave. The police are powerless to do anything about it, for the most part.

I even saw one from the Police dodge charger dash cam. He’s chasing a dirt bike and on a corner he rolls the cruiser.

I can think of a lot of solutions.

Rock salt and a shotgun would be the funniest.

In another thread we accused California of turning into a third world country.

Black “Youths” I think. It was reminiscent of the video of the people on New York City highways being harassed by a large gang of largely black and hispanic “youths” on motorcycles that were surrounding cars, darting in and out of traffic, just being general a-holes.

I love how witnesses of ATVs or dirt bikes in the streets are encouraged to call 911 after displaying that police policy is that they will not pursue any ATVs or dirt bikes with motorized vehicles.

And I’m sure if any armed citizens defend themselves or others against those who recklessly endanger them will of course be arrested.

Anything that angers Filthydelphians is a good thing. It is one of the top ten liberal sh!th0les in this country.

I came out of a Sunday afternoon NJ Devils hockey game in Newark, NJ with my wife and son last year and were greeted by 30-50 dirt bikes and ATV's doing the same crap in front of the Prudential Center. During the games, Newark Police are in force and stood by laughing at the antics of the local "youth" while they put on their show.

I watched one un-helmeted guy blast into a lighting pillar at high speed and bust his head against the sidewalk. The Newark Police rendered aid. It's all fun and games until someone gets hurt. Go figure.

The police say they really want to intervene, but there’s really nothing they can do about it. The article states it illegal for the police to pursue them.

It should be noted that just like New Haven (Where this is RAMPANT and I’ve been physically involved in several situations with these gangs) Philly is enemy territory now.

It’s just a part of NJ at this point.

I don’t know about Philadelphia, but out west they don’t have enough riding areas for these bikes/ATVs. Many people have to travel 50 miles, 100 miles miles and more just to ride them nowadays. All thanks to intrusive government and their environmental extremest associates.

The leftist hate ATVs and dirt bikes!
