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

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

Ignoring deadly issues is not good police work.

How are they going to get them?

When it runs out of gas or the driver goes to sleep.

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.

Yup, I’m assuming this is the real reason and I see nothing wrong with that.
