$5,000 dollars, an arrest and he will probably have his dirt bike taken away for not registering it with the Government. He shouldn't have run, but this is just stupid. 30 or 40 years ago people would look at someone out riding a dirt bike and say oh he's having fun. Now it involves police chases and massive search efforts. In our "free country" fun either costs a lot of money, or it's illegal.
ReplyDeleteIt's "fun" for me to drive my car! So I'll just turn in the tags, drop the insurance, and come do burn-outs and "Jim Rockford" turn-arounds on the street you live on! How does that sound to you J.A.??
Delete30-40 years ago, I rode dirt bikes in Salisbury. But it was on the dirt, NOT the street!! These thugs are a menace and a safety hazard! They're breaking the law and they need to be stopped!!
I commend the Worcester County officer for doing his job protecting law abiding citizens!
"YOUR" comment "6:21" sounds like a "damage control" piece typed by someone paid to do so! It reeks of rat excrement!!
6:21 Today... people look at someone out riding a dirt bike and say, "Oh, he's having fun!"... ON PRIVATE PROPERTY. What are you to do when they enter your yard, tear it up... while in a city, or neighborhood? Go sit out at Prince Street Elementary, any given night, and observe those idiots. They have zero respect for others properties, the laws of the road or anyone else's safety. Yeah, leave them alone... It works for Salisbury PD and the homeowners who have to deal with it.
ReplyDeleteHow do you pronounce his first name. Someone want to help me out here in case I ever offer him a job. Maybe as a combine operator.
ReplyDelete657 very nice Rockford Files reference!!! James Garner was one of the best TV as well as in movies!!!!
ReplyDeleteReferencing the article, all that was needed was the first name of the perp. NEXT!
@621 This is a 33 year old punk. He is not a child. Get real. Years ago we respected the fact you do not ride off road equipment on public roadways.I have fun on the street with my tagged and insured bike and I have a valid motorcycle endorsment.
ReplyDeleteGet those disrespectful thugs off the road and off of private property. Thank you law enforcement for doing the job. Now how can we get the court system to punish them?
ReplyDeleteThe dirt bikes that the thugs ride on the highway are almost always stolen.
ReplyDeleteRoger Street and Kendall Ave. Guarantee that all through the summer around 6pm there will be 3 dirt bikes and a 4 wheeler rolling around there.
ReplyDeleteLock them up.
ReplyDeleteAll dirt bikes and ATV's need to be registered in the state of Maryland.
Was this bike stolen?
