No, it’s illegal to ride a regular bicycle drunk on the streets as well. Tons of people get DUIs on bicycles.

SignalTrace to sweep up unique identifiers of mobile phones, wearables like smart watches and AirPods, and other Bluetooth-enabled devices in passing vehicles.

This only has a capture rate of about 10-15% of passerbys at most. Not supporting flock cameras, but just discussing this particular add-on. This technology has been used in traffic studies for years.

ETA: edited to add that it could be possible that this is a brand new cutting edge version that has a higher capture rate. I’m not trying to claim that I have access to all the newest stuff. But this stuff has been around for a while.

They run a tight ship here in Contra Costa County. They don’t allow open drug use, homeless to camp on the street, and they aren’t gonna allow some random 17year old kid running around town with a BB gun shooting at people. Even if he says they were sex offenders.
