Like I get it people have to get to work & stuff bc what do u do if u don’t have a car?? but SCPD should leave the 14-15 yr olds alone if they are riding responsibly & in residential areas. I’m sure they have more important stuff to focus on than seizing teens e bikes and giving $500 + fines?? But yeaaa this guy is brave, he was heading off of Patchogue Holbrook road onto waverly like he was a car lol 😂 at least he had a helmet! 🙏 I would b scared to ride in traffic w the cars on Long Island.
