Sounds like a feature, not a bug.
D.C. Police Not Stopping Illegal Aliens Driving Without License Plates: Report
The Daily Signal interviewed numerous individuals who admitted to being in the U.S. illegally and working as food delivery drivers using motorbikes that do not have license plates, indicating that the vehicles are not insured or registered.
D.C. law forces virtually every type of motorized vehicle to be registered and to display a license plate while the operator of the vehicle must be insured and possess a valid driver’s license.
The publication launched an investigation into the uptick of motorized bikes buzzing around D.C. without license plates and found that D.C. police “do not appear to be enforcing registration laws.”
Mass shooting in DC: 1 killed, and 5 shot, including children, just minutes away from White House's glamorous State Dinner
- One person was killed and five others injured in a shooting Wednesday evening
- Among the wounded are a 9-year-old and 12-year-old, according to police
One person has been killed and five injured, including children, in a shooting in Washington, D.C., just minutes away from the White House.
At around 6:15 pm, the suspects drove up and fired into a crowd in the Carver Langston neighborhood on Wednesday evening, according to Police Chief Pamela Smith.
Investigators believe the suspects left the car and began shooting at people on the street.
That can't be correct. Mayor Pete says DC is safe enough to walk his little dog every evening.

Police Chief Pamela Smith. LMAO.
As for the original article and the scooters, Let me say this ,and I don't have the figures but i would wager that 90% of DC traffic tickets are from their camera's they have hidden all over the city.

It's been now reasonably established that the crime stats are being juiced.
Colorado Towns Construct Legislative ‘Walls’ To Counter Mass Illegal Immigration
“Let me be frank: This influx of migrants, the unanticipated nature of their arrival and our current space and staffing challenges, have put an immense strain on city recourses to the level where they’re on the verge of reaching a breaking point at this time,” said Hancock. “What I don’t want to see is a local humanitarian crisis of unsheltered migrants on our hands because of a lack of resources.”
In 2017, Hancock signed legislation to codify Denver’s resistance to working with federal officials to enforce immigration laws. The Colorado Sun reported last week Denver taxpayers spent $63 million to shelter the more than 40,000 new arrivals over the last 15 months. The office of Denver’s mayor elected last spring, Mike Johnston, said the city may spend up to $180 million to confront the crisis this year.
“Denver is closing all migrant hotel shelters but one, a signal that services are winding down,” the Sun reported, meaning a closure of six hotels operating as shelters. “The decision comes as the number of daily arrivals has been declining.”
Last year, Colorado Democrat Gov. Jared Polis sent some of the migrants to New York City. Communities neighboring Denver have begun to pass ordinances to contain the influx of illegal migrants throughout the region. In February, the Aurora City Council passed a resolution to declare no services for migrants who enter Denver’s largest suburb.
Having Solved Crime in Seattle, the Seattle Police Department Turns Its Attention to the Middle East
As you may know things have been tense in the Middle East, to put it mildly. With the war between Israel and Hamas continuing to drag on Iran decided over the past weekend to get involved in the conflict personally, launching a barrage of drones and missiles towards Israel in coordination with Iranian front groups in various of the neighboring countries. To say that things were tense would be an extreme understatement, and all eyes were on the entire spectacle wondering what would happen next.
In times like these you hope that the authorities are staying abreast of the situation, of course, but when we say 'the authorities' what we usually mean is the US State Department and Intelligence Services and such... what nobody ever means is they hope the local PD is spending time 'closely monitoring' the situation on the other side of the globe. But the Seattle PD, having apparently solved crime in the greater Seattle area, has been left with enough time on its hands to keep an eye on things in the Levant as well, it seems.
Now before you tell us 'Ackshually...' we know that they're concerned with local reactions to the events in the Middle East... as well they should be. Seattle has a history of its citizens getting up in arms about stuff and rioting or declaring chunks of the city to be 'Autonomous Zones' or whatever so they really should be vigilant for supporters of Hamas or Iran trying to start something in the Emerald City. But the way the SPD chose to frame their 'vigilance' in the tweet has people talking. Plus, you know, given that the Seattle City Council issued a resolution demanding a cease fire in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict maybe the SPD is serious and they're thinking about sending their officers over to offer support to Hamas or Iran.
