    Default Quads on the Street in Detroit

    Just overheard this on the police scanner app on my phone tuned to Grosse Pointe Dispatch:

    FYI there are about 100 quads at 7 and Hayes heading for Moross. They have already rammed a scout car.
    What the fuck is wrong with people down there? If I was the cops I would be getting a couple hundred feet of spike strips and taking out the lot. WTF?

    Daily thing out there... easy to say if you were a cop you would do this that or the other, cops are just out numbered and theres not alot they can do. Laying a couple hundred feet of spike strips will cause one of them to lose control, wreck or even get killed or someone else killed. Detroit seems to be treading light with the dirt bikes and ATVs since they tased the young kid last year or the year before and he died.

    Tase them all or spike strip them all and see what happens. Get rid of the idiots and maybe Detroit will become a better place.

    I am not really sure how well the michigan lottery "fund" is helping the things it's supposed to be helping, but maybe partition some of that "fund" over to the state police & wayne county sheriff departments to increase manpower for patrolling the city streets could be a good investment?

    If you want to see some crazy shit, Baltimore was plagued with quads and dirt bikes running amuck. Look up the YouTube videos.

    The only answer would be to build an affordable orv park in the city somewhere and then write huge tickets for street use.

    I agree. But after the State Cop (rightfully) tazered the kid who then hit a parked car and died, the thugs on quads won't pull over. They just keep riding. They wear bandanas like they are about to rob a bank, so the cops can't ID them, and they don't have plates or anything traceable. They are completely emboldened to be lawless now. The city has a chopper that tracks them to wherever they park or get gas - and they straight up impound them. But you can't get 100 people.

    This may be a dumb question but in cities like Chicago Detroit and others why aren’t the national guard or some asked to step in and help
    A gun is like a parachute. If you need one, and don't have one, you'll probably never need one again.

    Honestly, I don't think they are going to do anything unless it gets out of hand. By out of hand - the mob kills, maims, or robs someone.

    That'd need to be more of an emergency situation, which this is not.
