A better idea would be to put the operator in jail as current law provides and sell the vehicle out of state on eBay. Problem solved.
What a waste of natural resources.
I agree with you.
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.”
THIS is 2022.
NOBODY stays in jail longer than 24 hours...even on holiday weekends...:)
