Brussels bans e-scooters in drug-turf neighborhoods after 74 shootings

Brussels Minister-President Boris Dilliès signed a police decree banning electric scooters in certain neighborhoods as part of a broader anti-drug-trafficking crackdown, following 74 shootings in the region this year. The measure is framed as a sustainable, rapidly adaptable framework, though its direct link to reducing gun violence is unproven. This marks an escalation in local enforcement tactics amid a surge in drug-related shootings.
