Florida Injury Lawyer Blawg
Police in Martin County, Florida, are shifting from education to an “enforcement phase” after they allege illegal activity and unsafe e-bike riding in the area, according to local media.
“Our Traffic Unit, COP, and Road Patrol deputies have worked to educate riders and parents on the laws governing e-bike use and the importance of safe operation,” officials with the Martin County Sheriff’s Office said in an online statement Monday, April 27. “Despite those efforts, we continue to receive numerous complaints from residents regarding reckless and unlawful behavior—particularly involving juveniles.”
Police say the complaints have ranged from a disregard for traffic laws and designated areas, riders operating illegal e-bikes, and citizen harassment.
