Vigilante Declares WAR On Denver’s Electric Scooter Population

A vigilante, or group of vigilantes, are fighting back against the electric battery-powered scooters that have been popping up all over the country in recent years by placing stickers with a city code about vehicles illegally blocking sidewalks. They also blacked the QR code used to access the scooters out with a marker, just in case the sticker wasn’t enough of a deterrence. Ana Kasparian and John Iadarola discuss on The Young Turks.

"Someone is pissed off enough about dockless electric scooters left on Denver’s sidewalks that they’re scribbling out the QR codes on the devices, theoretically rendering them unusable.

One person posted an example of the defaced scooters on Reddit:

In the photo, the QR code, which riders use to access the scooters through apps, is blacked out with a marker, and a sticker is on the handlebars.

The sticker says:

“Per city code: All vehicles must be parked in a manner that does not impede pedestrian clear paths or access in the right of way (sidewalk area or street) or block the boarding or departure of transit users.

This scooter/bike was incorrectly parked, resulting in the QR code being obscured. Contact Lyft or Lime if you wish to use this vehicle. We are sorry for your inconvenience but unfortunately, some people suck and do[sic] are not considerate of how other people use the sidewalk.”"
