What Exactly is the Point?

More useless new laws in Illinois:

• New rules governing who can use electric bikes and scooters, including where and how fast they go, will go into effect next year following Gov. JB Pritzker’s signature on Wednesday.

  Pritzker signed Senate Bill 3484 which establishes regulations on “micromobility” transportation that include age requirements, speed limits and rules on where they can be operated. The bill takes effect Jan. 1.

  “Technology is evolving, providing expanded mobility options for our neighbors through the rise in popularity of e-bikes and scooters,” bill sponsor Sen. Ram Villivalam (D-Chicago), said in a statement. “But without clear regulations for these devices, we are seeing increased injuries and accidents — jeopardizing community safety.”

So now CPD is going to be allowed to pursue lawbreakers, ticket the drivers, impound and tow the vehicles, thereby increasing the chances of consequences and deterring criminal mischief??

• Well, no

Have you not been paying attention that past twenty years?
