In reply to the discussion: Feds Bashed for 'Rounding Up Food Delivery Bikes' in DC: 'Terrible Use of My Tax Dollars' [View all]BumRushDaShow
(158,483 posts)16. That's a "local police" issue
NOT a Homeland Security/ICE/National Guard issue.
Here in Philly, we have the infamous (who even had their own "reality show" ), PPA (Philadelphia Parking Authority), who patrol the streets for a multitude of things - obviously illegal parking, parking in a spot with an expired parking meter, and more recently, missing/damaged license plates and other types of vehicle infractions that include ATVs, dirt bikes, scooters, parked on sidewalks, etc. (they even host auctions of those that are confiscated). They'll pull up a tow truck in seconds and the vehicle is gone and deposited in some $250/day storage facility!

Sounds like they were doing just fine on their own if they already seized 13,000 of them

Trump and ICE are all about fraudulent claims of crime, a waste of taxpayer dollars, and abuse of power.

I don't think there was any "thought process" involved other than harassment

As long as the mopeds and the operators are all licensed and insured, why are they being seized?
