But it's illegal for them to ride in the streets.

Surely making a thing illegal solves the problem.

Police can now legally confiscate the atv/db's.

Great. They can also legally investigate murders. Clearance rate is 20%

I keep asking why net cannons are not a thing for cops. Effective AND HILARIOUS

They can confiscate them, which is good, but they are discouraged from chasing them down. They don't want the bike/ATV rider to cause an accident while fleeing from the police.

I find it sadly ironic that some of the areas around Philly, where some residents were mocking our issues with these hordes of dirt bikes and ATVs swarming around, are now dealing with swarms of their own. It's not just in the city anymore.

Yet the left wants to make firearms illegal. “Gun free zones” work so well in cities lmao

Would need lights, turn signals, mirrors, and registration.

Possibly exhaust as well. It's also a bit of red tape to get the registration. Better off buying a factory dual sport.

I actually don't think many people would care one way or the other about the bikes if they weren't doing all kinds of stupid things in the middle of oncoming traffic. Ride bikes? Fine. Share the road? Fine. Pop wheelies in the middle of the freaking street with cars right behind you? NOT fine. Cut in front of oncoming cars with inches to spare? VERY not fine.

They responded to skateboarders' needs by creating a skateboarder-designed skate park in South Philly. Maybe the next thing they should build is a track where these dirt bikes and ATVs can do all the tricks they want, without causing traffic accidents.
