  • Joseph asks about consequences for repeat offenders
  • NYPD representatives are unsure about the escalation of fee schedules or punishments for repeat offenders
  • Chief Obe provides statistics on vehicle seizures as part of enforcement efforts:
  • 3,830 mopeds and scooters seized to date
  • 1,329 motorcycle seizures this year so far

So So what happens to repeat offenders?
1:09:55
Let's say you give somebody a ticket before and then you're ticketing that same person.

I don't know what the escalation of the fee schedule and or the punishments are.
1:10:06
I'd have to get back to
Olufunmilola "Lola" Obe

So I just also wanted to throw in there that we actually do seize, so seizures I think also very important too.
1:10:13
So mopeds and scooters, again, to date we've seized 3,830 mopeds and scooters.
1:10:21
Motorcycle seizures have been thirteen twenty nine for this year so far.

You're welcome, but along the same line of questioning, I'm wondering has there been, so to speak, hot spots identified where we could probably provide more enforcement specifically for the people because we do see all throughout our city bikes flying down the street.
