Reply to comment by Bobtom42 in What's with the ATV crowd in PA and what should I do about it? by Griff82

If I’m remembering correct there is no ATV/UTV riding allowed in any PA Gamelands.

It’s not allowed but goes largely un-enforced.

For the vast majority of the state, that is simply not true. ATV's on PA gamelands is actually one of the most heavily enforced things on the gamelands. You do not want to fuck around with that.

In Schuylkill County, the wardens are pretty active and helpful.

They’re also not allowed on roadways, but we see how well that works in Philly.

That's been policy since at least somewhere around 2010-2011, maybe earlier. I remember because where I was living at the time had a lot of dirtbike/ATV activity. The cops chased one, the ATV driver hit and injured/killed a pedestrian trying to flee, and now here we are.

I'll agree that Philly is a total shitshow right now but it can't all be laid at Kenney's/Krasner's feet. PPD has been completely useless for a looooong time. Living at that same place I heard a woman get kidnapped, screaming for her life as her voice faded away with the vehicle she'd been dragged into. I called 911 several times with no answer so I called the police district. Their reaction was literally "what do you want us to do about it?" This was over ten years ago. Around the same time I was robbed at gunpoint west of Drexel campus and the police insisted on filing it as a theft, not a robbery. I can go on and on and on.

edit: and for the record I voted for both of them and I'm really disappointed in them both. I'm seriously disappointed in our city from top to bottom, honestly

In small towns there are municipal permits for atvs and designated roads, mostly dirt. Farmers can also take pretty much anything on a road up to even children driving trucks.

Circling a cop car, taunting them to do something.

People learn from what they see. Riots burning centers of cities. Buildings looted, and burned with no consequences.

There were over 10,000 arrests stemming from the protests last summer but you ignore that because you just want to bitch
