[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Please please enforce the ban on loud engines and atvs. My neighborhood is like Beirut in the 80s. We’re all just hoping to get rest and not wake up in wreckage. Last night there were several sonic booms followed by thunderous motors whipping through the neighborhood. Then helicopters snd sirens. And one lone motorcyclist ripping donuts for an hour. Save me![/quote]

Are you for restorative justice and defunding police etc? If you are, that is why you are facing this. The police have been explicitly told not to go after these buffoons.[/quote]

They've been told not to go after ATVs because of safety -- the risk of a crash while pursuing them is not worth it. But they've also set up a new task force to seize them, and if you call one in and they make an arrest or confiscate the rider, you get $250. Does not really sound to me like this fits your "woke cities are terrible" frame here.

LMAO that you just accept the word of the cops. “We got 200 off the streets” my ass. [/quote]

So you (a) oppose "restorative justice and defunding police etc" but you also (b) don't believe anything the cops say. Got it.

Personally, I would rather police not do high-speed chases after people on ATVs, which seems even more dangerous than just the ATVs. They're loud and annoying and potentially dangerous, but I don't think adding a high-speed police car into the mix would improve much. [/quote]

Apparently they hit the same parts of town night after night. The police don't have to randomly chase them..I'm fine with lying in wait and a dragnet. Oh wait,.I forgot we aren't allowed to actually thoughtfully catch criminals anymore...[/quote]
