BCHP officer tried to stop an e-motorcycle rider...
However, instead of stopping, the rider sped up through a stop sign to flee police.

"We're big police in powerful cars and can't catch small children on electric scooters"
"We can't get out own scooters and catch them."
"We don't have the resources to get-em-all"

“Police are trying to keep everyone safe, and we need parents to start helping us out so we can prevent their kids from hurting themselves, or worse.”
BCHP says parents have a responsibility to make sure their kids are being safe.
“Your children might ‘promise’ to ride their machines responsibly and keep off public roads, but that’s not what’s happening.”

"Parents, please help us! You should follow your children around all day to make sure they NEVER misbehave. Stupid parents."

And then this epic line...

Police say they have seen an increase in young riders trying to “bait” police into chasing them.

Lol, the kids will be ok.

With all the recent e-bike/scooter stories/articles/commentaries in the news/tv/radie these days, you'd think that these are the most dangerous thing to kids ever!
But no, you'd be wrong. Bullying on the internet is the most dangerous thing (even though there are never any news stories)

They're too stupid to leave their phones at home. Track them. Isn't that the whole point of the surveillance state?

"So you popped a wheelie over the hood of a cop car, which is risky, but what we really want to know is if you're being bullied on social media. How you ride your scooter is your parents responsibility, but when it comes to anything online, the government needs to pry into ever aspect for everyone everywhere."
