It doesn't matter if you seize all the mopeds, e-bikes, guns, etc. If you don't hold people responsible for their actions. Crime will continue.

Cant stand the ones who ride on the sidewalk where people, including older people and children are walking. The delivery guys do it all the time too

Be careful they are stealing necklaces and stealing earbuds from people.

They take 9500 scooters off the streets but give the criminals no cash bail and back on rhe street.

Some gotta ruin it for all

Just go outside ANY shelter/hotel where "Asylum Seekers" reside There's about 100 on average

Shooting-guns fault, Stabbing-knife's fault, Crimes-scooters fault, Drive-by - Cars fault, Jewelry robbery-hammers fault, VERY SMART logic.

Nobody in the newsroom thought "Hey, we're going to do a story on illegal scooters. Maybe we should include something that explains what makes them illegal". Everybody was out of school sick on the day they taught the 5 W's I guess.

This ain’t a 3rd world country or hillbilly style society ✨🇺🇸👍🏾

I lived in Medellin Colombia, this is what it looks like. Why you all invited it here I don’t know.

The guy interviewed did have a plate, but was riding on the bike lane, and scooter riders are supposed to wear a DOT helmet. Not long ago, I rode for many years, if I even had a non-DOT helmet I could get pulled over and probably given a ticket. I got caught with expired regi, once I had a plate placed vertically and was summoned. Things changed a lot from not so long ago.

Soo they saying people don’t or can’t do drive by in cars no more only scooters in stead of targeting the actual crime they’re going to take people property most of whole have nothing to do with crime and only target small violations it sad this is America today

I have a scooter registered, insured, inspected, helmet, and have a M license. Thanks to these dumb dumb people I stay getting harassed by cops. I hope they clear the way for those who are legal.

Finally!!! Thank you NYPD😊😊😊😊 these mopeds and scooters were a constant threat to personal safety on the SIDEWALKS no less because the drivers didn’t care and blatantly rode the sidewalk as if no rules existed.

Very very very good!!! Also this summer NYPD is cracking down on loud music, barbecues in front of residents. That third world mentality is coming to an end.

The penalty handed down by judges is now a stern talking to. Well that'll show em!

Good 👍 I am glad. Keep it up!

All 1300 arrests, all of them were let go the same day! I'm not kidding!

It’s time to ENFORCE THE LAW!!!!!!!!!!!!

West side highway in nyc bike lanes need more police I see way too many scooters 😦

I saw a man, woman and child on a scooter riding on the FDR Highway, looked like a circus act..

Motor bikes are commonly used in the commission of crimes in South America.

With all the crime in NYC they focus on scooters?

Not sending their best

crack down on the illegal immigrants and the homeless first

Can we talk about the news reporter standing on the road to report on this rather then somewhere proper?

Take all the scooters off the streets . Then they be nobody delivering food no more in nyc lol

That's about 20 million in scooters, those asian scooter dealers are happy they will sell more replacements

1300 arrested; how many prosecuted, sentenced and incarcerated?

There's a lot of potential money sitting in that impound lot. When is NYC going to start auctioning them off?

Great job NYPD thank you for clean out 👍🙏

I never heard anybody say .. they committed a crime while walking . Let’s banned walking . I never heard nobody say .. they committed a crime in a car let’s get all cars off the streets . I understand that unregistered scooters are illegal to begin with . But we all know NYPD targets delivery guys on scooters & not the gang members using scooters as a tool to commit violent crimes . How about those funny pants 👖 wearing unit CRT WORK TOGETHER WITH GANG UNIT & start raiding the spots they hang out at . Instead of doing dangerous stunts on streets in trying to seized mo-peds from people .

Pirates never stop do they New York is a scab on America

01:36 He doesnt need helmet

The scooter situation in the Bronx is mainly a huge issue in Dominican parts stretching from 161st street to kings bridge road west of Grand Concourse within those confines. No Venezuelans live on the grand Concourse like that. Main populace in west Bronx is Dominican Republic who came here legally.

Just ban that garbage scooter altogether!!!

Wtf! Scooters don’t shoot people, a-holes with guns kill people! Completely confusing the crime with the bike!

How that sanctuary city thing working out for you NYC?

I've been a moto x, and trail rider all of my life, I'm old now and settled for a road bike. But, police never did play with illegal bikes on the road. The fines, penalty, a d maybe the loss of license was never worth it.

Only 9500!!!! That is not nearly enough. There needs to be stiff fines and penalties. This should be a priority.

That is how crimes are carried out in South and Central America. The "newcomers" brought it here.

Whats up with the dirt bikes and 4 wheelers running amuck in Durham ,NC ?

Good job, It ABOUT DAMN TIME, remove those scooters off the streets and ban the vendors that sell them as well. They should not be allowed in the NY tristate area. REMOVED THEM PERIOD.

Any vehicle not insured should be off the streets …Christopher Russell is lying he doesn’t have insurance

This all started under Deblasio and he did absolutely nothing about it which is not a surprise. So then it became commonplace.

There should be a place where young people can perform their stunts away from the public.... I've seen a few kids doing some cool stunts, but these young kids need a pla ce to show off their skills.... Most of them mean no harm, but there has to be an area where these young people can enjoy their time riding their scooters and mopeds and motorbikes and hopefully some scout agents can see what these young people can do and try to sign them to perform their stunts and other skills......

Electric scooters are legal under federal law its the off roads and gasoline engines that requires registration and plates

A scooter didn't rob me. A venezuelan did.

idk what's worst the thousand scooter and people doing wheelies on them or that mans glasses lmaoo

Bidens and Adams tag teamed them in.

Sure interview a man riding a scooter without a helmet

Look at that trash along the road.. What is tax money paid for? Funding forever wars?

i just wish they would stop the illegal skateboard gang

We have dirt bikes ATVs quads driving around and the police can’t chase after them due to laws !!

Tell me convictions, not arrests or confiscations?

lol turned it into South America real quick 😂

It isn’t the bikes causing the problem it’s the people…

That guy with the glasses trusted you for the interview and you do him dirty by exposing his license plate? Come on.

What if they identify as a Harley??

New York doesn't even look or sound like America anymore

They're taking up much needed parking spaces. Get them outta here!

They confiscate them and put them back in the streets. The police officers sell them and make money themselves. A lil birdy whispered that in my ears. It’s all business, crime pays

Do the NYPD cops have a weight Limit?

Tax money paid for them and now tax money is paying cops to go around and take them back

I don't see a single mo-ped. none have pedals. They are scooters.

Hand them over to working poor and college kids with good grades after they register and insure them and make them sign a contract like when u adopt a dog... abuse it and lose it and get a fine etc.

I want to get these scooters for social project in Africa. Where to apply ?

That's crazy.

They're not stopping the 2 guys with face masks & neck tattoos 🙄 They're stopping decent food app guys.

Observe and follow the traffic laws when operating on public roads.

Pack a shipping container and have foreign countries that need/use scooters buy them for a bulk "as is" price.

Don't destroy them, auction them off to other residents in other states for $$$

whatever happened to accountability? Does this not apply to them?

Undocumented Scooters thank you.

I live in Third third-world country and I am sad that America was turned into this, Scooters and Dirt Bikes, are the favorite vehicles to commit Crimes by Criminal, like stealing and robbing, and most intense are used mostly by Hitman, to easily evade police, and can also use the Helmet to protect themselves from witness identifying them.

No they're not. ALL TALK.

Scooters, E bikes and dirt bikes are LEGAL...! Get the criminals off the streets and keep them off...!

So were "workers" who depend on these vehicles for work not registering them? Any vehicle that can travel at a deadly speed should have to be registered no matter what it is used for. One segment of society cannot get a free pass just because while another is targeted.

Back in 2010, NYPD used to be the strongest police everything on point

Did they get the Illegals off the street?

Where is this impound lot 🙏🏽🤔🤔

venezuelans like😞🤣🤣🤣

It's Dirty Bronx, what do you expect?

so who do all of those mopeds belong to. Your telling me 10k people didnt want their stuff back

This has been going on for years in democratic states allowing these scooters to take over the roads and create chaos!

Send the atv and dirt bikes down south to places where they can be used on farm land and atv parks and auction them off by the local police

Where can I buy them

Chef from South Park voice : " G'byye!"

There's nothing to do there's nothing there's no future for anybody in New York City do you know that but people love to see the money come in weekly but they never see it going out

I think it is against the law to refer to a scooter as illegal?

It's about time

Not the old man cmon

Dont complain when food delivery prices start skyrocketing

Becoming Asian like South Korea, China, Thaipei etc....Endeavor to keep and develop American law style.

Wow something positive from nyc. It was overdue 👏

Half of them are convicted drunk drivers who lost their drivers license..

I know a woman that had one of those.Her name was nadine susie moses

Only took them like what 20 years?

I remember when the Grand Concourse was THE place to live !! When did it become a cesspool ??

RIGHT HERE I BELIEVE THAT ALL LIVES MATTER 110% ALL THE WAYYY.
