DC police formed specialized team to confiscate illegal ATVs and Dirt Bikes
With the recent warm weather, some people in the District are claiming more illegal ATVs and dirt bikes have been popping up in certain parts of the city.
So the title is the hook that there's somebody out there that actually thinks this s***.
But read into this article more. It's a beautiful lesson and how government doesn't want to do a thing and therefore will do the minimum required to make it look like they're doing a thing while I actually not doing a damn thing. The city government does not want the backlash for coming down on young black men for riding these machines in the city illegally. At the same time they don't want the backlash from citizens for appearing to let it just happen whenever they want. So they make up a thing that's like a task force but isn't a task force and they whip out a number but they can't tell you how that number compares to anything else and then they claim that the drop in writing that winter brings with some sort of success story.
