My prediction is this idea will stop nothing.
They'll need a couple tons of gravel to be sure.

Nothing like a little non-judicial punishment to make America great again.
I know if you think about this past being a simple mind-exercise in problem solving you'd not do that. You and I are not Republicans, after all.
I'm past skating by decades but I understand why skaters feel like they're persecuted. I don't think they should be breaking these emergency rules, but challenging them in a series of coyote.vs roadrunner challenges is not a productive way to go.
Maybe running a prowl car by more often, maybe sitting down with them and talking about it, but I dunno about setting man traps.

I dont get this; like I said, never a skater, but Ive watched them -:doesnt seem like an activity where people get real close to one another, right?
I dislike this thing of stopping people from exercising.

Its very unpleasant. Seems an unfair punishment for kids wanting to have some exercise and fun.

I remember an old song:
Sign, sign, everywhere a sign
Blockin' out the scenery, breakin' my mind
Do this, don't do that, can't you read the sign?
Remember that song?
Remember being young? I do. Lol, we ignored many a sign.
Eek, no, sorry, not for your remedy.
