Or is DC just hoping Darwinism will take care of it??
So I did a little googling around, and it looks like ATVs are a problem in every east coast city (not just DC), including smaller cities, and police all have the similar problem: chases are dangerous to the rider and bystanders so the have limited ability to chase. That said, I think NPS ought to be able to do something. You don't necessarily have to chase to show that law enforcement cares. There was also a bill in DC that would prohibit refueling ATVs - that seems sensible.
Logically, this points to a single gang from the rural east coast areas terrorizing cities. /s

Then no chase but if they come into DC send progressive fines over and over. Apparently some are stolen so that’s a wrinkle. I also wonder if the same tech could just cut off the motor at the entry to DC?
Meanwhile build a park to ride in and even let them charge tickets.
They don’t want a park to ride in. The thrill is terrifying innocent bystanders, breaking the law and getting away with it.

Well a group of them were riding down 14th street as Bowser was feet away from her Victory party. Talk about perfect timing.

This explains the progressive approach to this issue:
“ Yet in certain circles on the left, an orthodoxy has taken hold: To complain about ostensibly minor crime and other urban disorder, when so many people endure much worse, is to flaunt your privilege.”

thanks for reminding me that I need to vote today to make sure to keep Erin Palmer off the council and Robert White out of the mayor’s office.
