Just crazy!

We've been doing that for a while in Australia with our "hoon" laws. 3 strikes and your vehicle is seized. They sell the valuable ones and trash the rest at the offenders cost. The seppo's are just making a party of it.
 
Most of those bikes were stolen from surrounding suburban areas. Has been a problem in the surrounding suburbs of Philadelphia. Serial numbers ground off, or unregistered to begin with.
 
You need to try living in a place where dozens of unlicensed quads and dirt bikes block streets and stunt on sidewalks and roads. Where kids with no helmets do wheelies in commuter traffic and do stunt shows in the middle of intersections in busy neighborhoods. These machines were not seized simply for being unregistered, but rather for reckless driving and utter disregard for the safety of the people who live in those neighborhoods. Confiscated bikes and ATVs when auctioned off are bought for dimes on the dollar by the same people who just had them taken away and are back on the street. Do you suggest we also imprison the teens and young adults to prevent repeat offenses? With no drivers license to seize and no insurance to financially penalize them how do you suggest this very real problem be dealt with?
A binary argument. Breaking them down and systematically selling parts, which recycles them rather than turning them into trash might be a start. If they were guns there’d be nut jobs protesting in the streets…
 
Funny how we got to talk about the motocycles themselves, when the only core issue is the complete abandonment of the respect for law by the louts.
