Okay am I the only one?

Okay yes I know it is illegal to use ATV's such as four wheelers in the city limits. I understand it is for safety of all and there are other issue with noise and such invalued as well.

With that said am I the only one that finds this funny?

In response to the continuous, though seldom addressed, problem of illegal ATV use in the city, the Duluth Police Department teamed up with the St. Louis County Sheriff's Office and the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources on Saturday to patrol trails and streets in western Duluth areas, searching for violators.
It's something Duluth police don't get to do, said Lt. John Beyer, mainly because the department itself doesn't own any ATVs for officers to use out on the trails.


For Saturday's enforcement sweep, the DNR pitched in five ATVs, and the sheriff's office lent one.
It is illegal to ride ATVs or similar vehicles on city streets, trails or other property. Violating the ordinance means the rider must appear in St. Louis County Court and pay a fine, Beyer said.


Officers issued at least six citations through Saturday evening while patrolling the trails, Beyer said. They focused on known ATV hot spots in the Smithsville, Morgan Park, Gary-New Duluth, Norton Park and Fond du Lac neighborhoods. A mix of private and public land, plus easy access to city trails makes for a tempting combination for some ATV riders.

It seems like if you are a cop you can do what ever you want even if it is breaking the law. Yes they enforce the law, however even if some think it they are not the law. I guess the way I see if the law should be able to be broke to caught people in this case.

What could be done to stop this? It seems like many times people have to cross a road, then what could be done is have a cop sitting waiting for these people and stop them there. Set up blocks, most trails are at some point either start or end of a trial are wide enough to put a cop car there.

When some one calls 911 send a cop out to the spot and stop it. Enforce the law in a legal way.
