No they don't. Did you even read the article you shared? They issued a warrant days later because of the video of a possible attempted car jacking. Cops don't chase the ATVs anywhere that's densely populated because it would be more dangerous for everyone, not a lack of resources. FWIW I noticed a lot less in the City this year, maybe it was high gas prices and destroying all the confiscated ones.

I don't really build my life around the highly unlikely possibility of random violent crime but my only experience with 911 in the last couple years was calling for a neighbor's stolen package and they picked up and sent someone right away.
