Unfortunately, given the increasing number of violations I see, this is likely true.dont worry the vigilantes will come,"your cheating", is the first phase,i knew rangers that loved to write tickets.
I wonder how the ticket process actually works. To minimize bulk, Many trail riders I know, including myself, don't carry their wallet or ID. Minors don't have one to begin with. Given the transient nature of park trail visitors, why couldn't you use a fake name & address and just throw the ticket away? Would the ranger search your person when told you have no ID? Would he arrest you and/or impound your bike? I'm sure a lot would depend on the severity of the violation, and how often you get caught doing it.
I can see the PR nightmare that would result when cops start arresting and/or seizing the property of a bunch of 70+ year-olds, for riding where they shouldn't.
I know this was a problem for law enforcement in several small towns in my county. Years ago, during the mini bike craze, kid were riding on streets, private property and town parks to the point where they were causing a public safety hazard. Tickets were written but largely ignored. The problem wasn't solved until LEO's began impounding the mini bikes.
It will indeed be interesting to see how this plays out in the future.
