Website and Police - Can they bust us?
#41
Here is a good one if you have problems with the cops in your area. Most of cops here are cool on a personal level. But, they are very hypocritical about some stuff. Like traffic laws. Running red lights, speeding, running stop signs etc... So, I read an article once in Cycleworld I think, on the same issue. So, now when I witness the police in my town violating a traffic law without lights and siron, I record the car number, the time and date, and what the infraction was. Then make a formal complaint at the precent. My purpose is not to get the actual officer in trouble, but to at least get some attention put on the rediculous traffic/motorcycle restrictions here is CA. If the majority of the force is getting heat about certain laws, then maybe they will take a look at those laws and make some adjustments. Also, the investigators take some serious pride in their work, they don't just blow it off, ecspeccialy since most of the cops here know my name, they still take me seriously. Just some food for thought I guess.

first off, this is a great topic, we recently had a incident at a local road that is off the beaten path - where for the most part it is very safe to stunt becuase there are hardly ever any cars and it is very straight...
Due to a bad accident there last year, this spot is now hot, we were out there about a month ago stunting - I was spectating... when out of no where comes johhny law, ordering everone to just hold still until back up came.
Backup ***** shows up and starts yelling his head off at everyone... then he points out about 3 people and basically tells them they can stay and everyone else can leave. So check this out, it turns out it was a freaken sting operation, the backup ***** cop was not to far in the distance the whole time with binoculars setting up a sting operation...
also backup ***** cop was very irrate as one of our riders left before they got there, they wanted him the most and didnt get him... after this incident we were all freaked out and took the actuall names of our website,
from what I have read and heard, it looks like it could go either way depending on how bad they want to make a example out of you, if a ticket gets to far out of hand, definitly get a lawyer, dont stand a chance otherwise,

I just got a lawyer, the cops ransacked my house today, took my computer, backup file, vids, camera equip, everything. And they left one hell of a mess.

check this out, here in the uk you can get 12 month in the slammer for wheelies, even if you aint caught red handed when we release our videos if they can i.d you they take your bike crush it and still give you 12 month. there has just been a crack down on street stunting over here were as they quite simply if your caught take your bike to the local scrap heap and crush it.
funny how the street racers in cars can just get away with losing there license and a hefty fine.

The thing of it is, its a University cop, and he isnt even a beat cop. He got burned and now he has it out for every rider out there. We have a big campus with a LOT of drinking. Dont the have underage drinking, sexual assaulsts and more important things to attend to than badgering riders not doing anything? The other day there was a minor conflict between a guy who was getting followed by a University cop, so he pulled over and asked the cop what the issue was? The cop said ill follow you if i want to. The rider proceeded to call his superior and she said she "knows about us" and apparantly has a list of complaints about a group in madison, and "every precient is watching for us". Its great.
