Ahh ok gotcha. I think location has a lot to do with it too. If this was say happening in say Dix Hills, different story.
Not really.
Some kids moved into my area about a year ago. Area is on par with many Dix Hill neighborhoods. Kids ride around the area on ATVs and off-road dirtbikes. No helmets. I've seen them just outside the area on a main road - driving right past police who do absolutely nothing. Cops are more concerned with speeding and stop sign tickets.
I just ignore it and figure Darwin will sort things out. I just hope it's not me or my family that is in the car when one of these morons crash.
As most of you have noticed, while living on Long Island, the rise of atv's and dirt bikes used on the streets. Nobody seemed to give a crap and I must admit neither did I until now this became my problem since it's moved into my neighborhood. At 1st there was the one house about 5 years ago, now there are about 4 houses on my block with the 20 somethings living in those homes who are actively taking part in this. The reason why it's my problem is because I'm right in the middle of them and am surrounded. Like clockwork around after 4pm my block basically becomes a private drag strip for stunting and all sorts of annoying crap. My one truck that I park on the street has now become a spectator bench where I've come out 5 times already over the last 2 years asking them to not do that. As I'm writing this now I am doing so while enjoying the constant roar of a dirt bike engine as it goes up and down the block. This is an everyday thing and becomes much worse on weekends since even more of their friends show up and basically shut down the block.
Talking to the parents does absolutely nothing. Cops keep coming here just to park for 10 minutes, get verbally abused and then they leave. I've got security camera footage as these guys basically lean across the hood of the Suffolk PD cruiser and just let loose with all sort of colorful language. As the cops drive away they are being reminded to "get the eff of their block."
Yes, I have the option of selling my house which I own, getting a new loan and basically be back in the rat race of trying to pay off another house. I would like to leave that as my last option if possible. What are my other "legal options" that I can try before I throw up the for sale sign. I've been trying to find out who I have to write to, who I have to call, there is nothing about that anywhere. It looks like the politicians just want you to keep calling the cops and repeating the cycle with no end of it. Help please.
There was something called Hollywood Stuntz in NYC metro ghetto areas. They involved in a high profile case, when one of them got run over, and they chased down this poor chinese fellow and beat him.
But then you are just giving up the neighborhood to the ruffians. I am willing to bet these 20 somethings are involved in drug trafficking. How else they gonna afford the RE and the toys? LI RE is expensive. LEO must be able to find something on then as long as they keep an eye on them.

This is what happens when you dont support law enforcement and tide their hands. What could cops do? Chase them down so they could lose their job when one of them get hurt. Or even better, have cops attempt to take the bikes away and then get into a fight with them and then make it a race issue.
Best thing to do is move

Moving is the most idiotic answer to this situation. But unfortunately it’s probably the best way to get away from it if the cops won’t do anything about it. I’ve seen these morons on Sunrise Highway service road riding wheelies etc.

Move before you snap or accidentally hit one of the morons getting out of your driveway and lose your house in a lawsuit.
But at some point there will be no where to hide. These kinds of people will take over. You have to make a stand.
There is a motorcycle group (Chosen Souls i think) on Hoffman ave in Lindenhurst that is always doing community service and security details in the area. How about you ask them if they would sit on your block around the time these idiots pull their stunts.
1 look at these guys and some real motorcycles (Harleys) would scare the Moderator cut: language removed out of them.
But what can they do? They have no authority granted to them. They are not national guard or Police. Unless this is another 1% biker gang, they cant and wont be willing to shoot anyone.
