It's a sad state, isn't it? bang head

It is really sad when, per a BARF post, 3 chp officers are used to pull over a motorcycle for not having reflectors and not having a license plate light for his bike... no other violations just pulled over for reflectors... I'm glad our society has such an all time low of crime that we are able to dedicate 3 officers to an insufficient reflector ticket.

*EDIT*
oh yeah it's probably just encase he was going to "run"

The ultimate in reverse psychology....

 Leave the reflectors on, and cagers claim "they didn't see you." Take 'em off, and Johnny Law can spot you a mile away. WTF?! Huh?

That's amazing isn't it? omg. The W.orst Bullshit Administration in its final throws of repression. (conspiracy theory  Roll Eyes)


I think it was mentioned in an earlier post about how CHP only do highway infractions etc anyways. Its not that they are ever allocated to hunting down dangerous crime except when they happen to be in the periphery of an event where they play support. That said, they argue that they nab a decent number of wanted felons with routine highway stops. The street is where everyone passes therefore its like the big felon filter.

What gives with the biker focus though! fk me, do all felons ride?! I doubt it. Its got to be some small minded profiling that happens spun off from locker room gossip. 

When pulled over, we should remind them that the crooks all ride Harleys, not these.   laughingdp
