Ryan Bridge: We're cracking down on the kids · Early Edition with Ryan Bridge

• 0:00
  Speaker 1: So we're cracking down on the kids. We're going to
• 0:02
  Speaker 1: crush the cars. We're going to crush the smartphones, which
• 0:05
  Speaker 1: all sounds nice and lovely, but it'll come down to enforcement.
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: For all the time Judith Collins spent in the scrap
• 0:12
  Speaker 1: metal yards for photo ops, it's not quite the crusher
• 0:16
  Speaker 1: that those photo ops made her out to be. She wasn't.
• 0:19
  Speaker 1: And the five years after they passed the law, guess
• 0:22
  Speaker 1: how many cars they crushed? Three? But that was a
• 0:25
  Speaker 1: three strike solution. Mark Mitchell, the destroyer is moving us
• 0:29
  Speaker 1: to a first strike program. So you're gone in sixty
• 0:32
  Speaker 1: second street race. You just won away of those from
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: the destruction of your car or potentially your car ending
• 0:39
  Speaker 1: up on the turner's auction website. If you've tried to
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: get some sleep in an area where this convoy or
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: one like at some sabaru at three am in the
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: morning and there are dozens of them, very annoying, very distracting,
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: can't sleep. I can see why they're doing this, So
• 0:56
  Speaker 1: why not double down on the crusher thing? But it's
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: about enforced, isn't it. And that's the same with the phones.
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: The phones, the tiktop problem far bigger than the car
• 1:08
  Speaker 1: one because it affects well most kids. About ninety percent
• 1:11
  Speaker 1: of kids when they get to high school have a smartphone.
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: So this is interesting because we moved beyond a members
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: bill now to a government bill, so a social media
• 1:21
  Speaker 1: ban of some sort is officially on the agenda. The
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: problem with enforcement here is obvious. How do you you
• 1:29
  Speaker 1: know when there are so many workarounds, how do you
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: make sure they're not going on social media? And the
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: enforces will not be the police, It will be the parents.
• 1:38
  Speaker 1: And here is the problem with that. Most parents spend
• 1:41
  Speaker 1: time on social media, spend more time on social media
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: than their kids. Nearly half of KIWI teams say that
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: their parent is at least sometimes distracted by their phone
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: when they're talking to them. What sort of an example
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: is being set here? Is it like telling you not
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: to smoke while you're puffing away on a pack of
• 2:00
  Speaker 1: Winning Blues on the couch. Enforcement of whatever rules we
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: pass to manage the impulses of our teenagers will ultimately
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: be determined by how successful those measures are in being enforced.
