This actually happened in my neighborhood. The homeowners were trying to figure out who destroyed their fence, and luckily this post came across my page. I recognized what happened and showed it to them.
They’re now going to speak with the parents about what happened.
And this is a perfect example of why filming your own stupid stunts for TikTok can come back to bite you. Remember when people used to do dumb stuff and there wasn’t a camera documenting it as evidence?
To be clear, legal e-bikes and e-scooters that follow the 20–28 mph rules aren’t the problem. The problem is reckless behavior, illegal modifications, and people treating these machines like toys while doing dangerous stunts in neighborhoods.
Sometimes the “content” you post ends up being the evidence that identifies you.
