I'm, thinking I should send a letter to the local paper & the schools' Principals (in the immediate area) as a PSA. I can probably get a photo of the kid tomorrow, same time, if I set up my dash cam
I seriously doubt law enforcement would even bother with paperwork for a "kid on an e-scooter" complaint. I always use a dash cam, just to cover myself.
Some communities are offering new e-bike rider classes. Like most classes like that, most of the attendees are of the type that would ride responsibly anyway. The idiots won't bother, because they don't care. But, I can see a time in the near future where some type of safety class - and proof of attending one - may be required of e-bike and e-scooter riders. All it will take is some politician's kid to get clobbered by one while walking down the sidewalk.
