How about the reintroduction of the pillory? Defendants get the option of jail with a record with a fine. Or 12-hours in the pillory in courthouse square. A bus load of third graders get rotten veggies from the lunch room to throw.

When empires get old and collapse, law and order is one of the first things to go.

For her its a push up bra with crane grade braided steel reinforced straps for the suspension of disbelief.

IMHO, sometimes less is more. But it is a public hazard because of the all the crashes caused left and right.

Interesting that the US, the UK, and AUS all have this problem of lawless young males running amok on public infrastructure on illegal e-motos.

Q. Is it also happening in the EU? Anywhere else? Asia?

I suspect 2 factors at play here:

(1) YouTube speads the Surron/rideout/outlaw teen subculture internationally.

(2) The availability of suitable e-motos controls which countries have the biggest outbreaks.

The subculture spreads quickly because many teens in 'wealthy' countries see no good place for themselves in the world adults have created. And they kinda have a point. That makes them easy to radicalize.

That kind of alienation doesn't breed law-abiding citizens. However, it's important to make clear to them that endangering others comes with stiff consequences nonetheless. And the sooner the better.

I haven't seen any outwardly dangerous riders here to speak of (packs of idiots doing wheelies in the streets etc.), just illegal equipment.
