One of the tasks I was responsible for in my previous contract was to forward complaints to the local rangers about motorized bikes riding in illegal areas.

We used to get dozens, if not hundreds, any given week.

Good on the cop/council/mayor for finally sticking it to the little punks (and their parents) who thumb their nose at legislation (designed for their own safety, mind) and then warble about how it's unfair when they are fined or have their bikes confiscated. Fuck! Why the hell would you even BUY a dirt bike if there's nowhere local to ride it in the first place? Why then, would you ride it on the sidewalk, where you are more than certainly causing a disturbance, not to mention being a significant risk to pedestrians.

Sometimes morons just need a metaphorical backhand to remind them that they are not special.
