so this did happen already, in NY, what they did was ban electric bikes in the city for an amount of time and in the process, immigrant workers...people with no papers were having their $2,000 ebikes confiscated, even money taken from them. it was an absolute solution that didn't solve any problems, likely made them worse. i don't know if government could do anything other than hand out tickets to people that don't even speak english or know how to use google maps.

here's a good clip:

if anything, we should have more requirements to be able to deliver food. service is what you're tipping for. they do not educate drivers in any way on hospitality.

Well if you speed in a car, they don't take your car away. So clearly their methods were flawed.

And yeah, clearly handing out tickets and then prosecuting those who didn't show up is the answer. Because not doing that only leads to lawless behavior.
