Angelette Aviles talked about the ongoing debate over whether the issue should be viewed as a matter of race or primarily as a public safety and legal concern. She noted that operating unregistered dirt bikes and ATVs on public streets in Baltimore City is illegal under Maryland law because these vehicles are generally intended for off-road use and are not street legal. The discussion emphasized that residents and officials often have differing perspectives, with some viewing enforcement efforts through the lens of racial disparities while others focus on concerns such as traffic safety, excessive noise, and pedestrian safety.
