You’re encouraging people to commit felony assault/murder. You should be proud of yourself.

“They live here. They’re the ones that are dealing with this.”

I wish the US Federal Govt would consider this and let the states and locals run much more of how the funds are spent.

I live in rural kentucky. On the roads here depending on the weather sometimes most of the cars you see are actually side by sides and atvs. I think it’s technically illegal but nobody cares. And in the 11 years I’ve lived here the only time I saw a cop on the road was when they came up to my property when my neighbors 11 or 12 head of cattle broke through the fence and got in my field.

We’re pretty good at self policing in this area and we’re all armed. 😁

“Can this smash policy be extended to weed whackers and gas-powered blowers? - Asking for a friend.”

Last fall I bought a battery powered blower. Sooooo quiet and not expensive at all. Hopefully that is the future.

What a waste of natural resources.

I agree with you.

"They’re fun to ride. I get why everyone wants to do it. But like anything in life, you have to do it responsibly,”

Like just about everything else government has it's hands on, the bottom line is that they want to extort more fees and tax money from the population.

Our urban ‘dirt bike hoodlums’ used to be the skateboarders, for whom numerous laws were passed to combat them.

Now we are in the age of woke climatism and you must be wary of fast moving electric scooters/bikes and these asinine 2-cycle powered bikes.

I would LOVE it if our municipality would seize/crush them, but it will never happen (not referencing the scooters/bikes).

It’s interesting how differently “undocumented immigrants” and “undocumented vehicles” are treated: let in with open arms, even when diseased or with lengthy criminal records, vs. seized and destroyed at first contact.

Strange, isn’t it? Last month, some ATV and scooter riding ferals had a chimpout down the street from where I grew up. Made national news.

Bingo. Uphold existing law.

But, like with the asinine gun buyback programs there is no photoOp that politicos so love. That is the purpose of such, opportunities for chest pounding.

From the article you didn’t read:

Police usually get them after a pursuit or chases, where the driver abandons the bike.

“There’s no paperwork” for most of the illegal vehicles, although Pennsylvania does have a registration process. If an ATV or dirt bike’s vehicle-identification number doesn’t come back to an owner, there’s no proof of ownership.

“If we can’t prove ownership, those are the ones we’re destroying,” he said. “We own it because no one claimed it. ... Instead of selling them, we destroy them.”

A fistful of tickets is usually all it takes in my county. Oh yeah, they do impound the machines. They can have them back when they pay the fines.

It’s Pennsylvania - they’re zero-bailing the drivers.
