A special police task force was deployed to target “stupid” electric scooter riders on Friday night in Brisbane City.

A total of 75 fines were issued for riders without helmets.

Around 30 police officers were situated across Mt Gravatt, Fortitude Valley and Brisbane City.

Fortitude Valley officer-in-charge Acting Sergeant, Simon Rowe, said “the number of offences detected as part of this operation [was] concerning and [they] want to remind everyone they do not tolerate people disregarding their own and others safety on scooters.
