Providence RI, about 30 minutes south of me has been battling illegal use of atv's, dirtbikes and non-registered mopeds for a couple months now. Riders are "terrorizing" the streets, according to local business owners and residents.
The first week of October, Providence police seized 150 illegal recreational vehicles and crushed 30+. Why didn't they auction them off to people like me! But the point didn't get across.

Police, amid anti-police sentiment have been trying to contain the issue but it has been growing. Roughly 10 days ago, the media is commenting how a police officer, chasing a 24 year old man on a moped, caused the man to crash and is currently in a coma.

This has led to numerous nightly, violent protests. The latest news that I've heard is that Providence, in conjunction with another city is thinking of building a recreational vehicle park

seriously?! WTF... I ride my ATV legally on my land. I also load it and drive hours away to ride it legally. And these people think the solution is to create a "safe place" to curb illegal activities?
