this code states that private roads open to the public for more than six months are open for the police to issue citations.
I think its the lack of police presence that gives people the impression officers are restricted on what they can do in hpp. License, registration and things like that were always enforceable. The speed thing and atv things are another issue.
The speed limit was set by a private entity. Not county or state.
Atv\Orv's have no regulations in the state of hawaii. We are one of 5 states with no written laws on them. Not sure if kids ridding on handle bars would fall under criminal or traffic, but would be a tough one to get a conviction on either way in my opinion.
this new ordinance has a funny smell to it. I mean if it was already written into the hrs that officers CAN cite on private roads, is it going to simply be 're-worded' or a whole new statute put into place? Either way, it doesnt help to much if the number of police doesnt increase to cover the hpp area which has been one of the main concerns with homeowners.
