As much as it sucks, you can’t blame law enforcement for what their doing because anyone else would do the same thing to make money. If anything, blame yourself for not having the proper parts on it to make it pass. Departments are driven off revenue so of course in anyway they can their going to do stops like this where it targets certain individuals on the streets. As long as your bike is legit and your wearing a proper helmet and obviously have a license or are with a license rider, it shouldn’t be that big of a headache. Everyone obviously knows about it so it shouldn’t be a shock to you if you get a ticket, you’ve had ample time to get your bike in check. ---

PS IF your riding your bike with a group doing nothing wrong and they make everyone stop…as in come to a complete stop and check you, its illegal. Not joking, take the ticket and bring it up in court theyll drop it. ---

Not joking, take the ticket and bring it up in court theyll drop it. Please ellaborate on how that is illegal. They are doing a safety check. So you mean to tell me when they do trucker mandatory stops to check truckers for their tires, and not exceeding weight or if they are doing mandatory seatbelt and inspection check points that’s illegal too? That’s exactly what they are doing this weekend is a safety check. Your statement doesn’t make any sense. ---

Do they really care if riders heads are safe? No. They need money, which is why cigs are 7.50 a pack now. Its bullshit agreed as well. this is all to generate revenue. this state is more money/ tax hungry by the day. ---

There is a diff between this and seatbelt checks…in this they totally stop the bikers and check their papers…in seatbelt checks they are still moving and just watch everyone to make sure. Your not allowed to detain just everyone on a motorcycle without reason its illegal. They can however reroute motorcycles and let them ride through a specific place and check ones that are “suspicious” ---
