Baltimore County Holds Virtual Hearing on Disruptive Dirt Bikes

The meeting seeks community input to guide police enforcement in neighborhoods reporting noise and safety problems.

Overview

  • Councilman David Marks convened a Zoom hearing with the Baltimore County Police Department Thursday night to review resident and business complaints about disruptive dirt-bike riders.
  • Marks’ office says most reports have come from the Philadelphia Road and Hines Road corridors, which are the geographic focus of the review.
  • A public Zoom link was posted with the meeting notice so residents and business owners could join and describe how the riders are affecting daily life.
  • No new enforcement policies were announced during the hearing because officials are collecting community reports and police data before deciding next steps.
  • Local leaders said the hearing is the procedural step toward possible police actions, and residents can expect follow-up as authorities assess complaints and consider targeted responses.
