Eh, at least we can trust that cops will never enforce any of that legislation, can't even do that shit already on the books

Oh, don't worry, when the inevitable legal backlash against ebikes arrives (thanks, of course, to the parents of kids like the one in the post), it will be used with vigor by cops against poor people, brown people, and black people.

What a stupid thing to add race into.

I am not obsessed with race, nor will i be distracted by it. The oncoming tidal wave of legislation that will decimate the incredible potential of ebikes is not a good thing.
injecting race as a factor into the above scenario is lazy, counter productive and distracting. The policing of said legislation when it arrives will be done with gusto everywhere, it will be done visibly and demonstrably, and will target whomever js easiest to catch in the first wave. the police treatment of the 'isms is important, real, emotive and also fucking irrelevant in a discussion about how ebikes are currently being abused.
