I think it would be pretty easy to enforce the scooters thing. If there are supposed to be NO scooters in a certain area, they can stop anyone that is there on a scooter, period. It's not like the bicycle patrols are the only cops on island. Even if they don't actually catch them at the time, if they get the description of the scooter, a regular police car could pull them over later, depending on how the law was written. If I were going to write such a law, I would write it that operating the scooter in a prohibited area is cause for forfeiture of the scooter..

I still think that if the law is written that the scooter can be seized if it is in a prohibited area, that it would work. Also, don't forget private citizens would also know that scooters are prohibited in an area, and they would pay a lot of attention to any scooter in the area AND to those riding them. I think it would be a huge help.

No, the point is that this camera thing will cost a LOT of money, which they don't have. They claim they don't have money to do even simple things, like making sure that every police officer has a bullet proof vest that fits and is still in good repair. And then they announce a pie in the sky thing that will cost the earth and will be difficult to keep working because of--I don't know--salt, heat, moisture, GEBE, etc..
