Yea whats the deal later? my buddy and I got pulled over coming home from kayaking because he forgot to put his seat belt on then literally two seconds later we pass the underpass on harlem and there’s a west seneca motorcycle officer that fly’s out after us and chases down the car in front of us for doing absolutely nothing. they are everywhere ---

drove to rochester taking back roads there, and thruway back yesterday. surprisingly, didnt see one cop till the VERY end, and he was on the other side of the thruway anyways. lucky too, if he was posted about a mile earlier, he prolly wouldve wanted to cross that barrier 😉 ---

Laws don’t have to be broken to be in the situation of their word against yours to generate revenue. i got pulled over 13 times two summers ago, 6x of which were waiting at a red light. Dat dare dirt bike don’t look legal to me… lemmie check your paperwork. Why’d you put your street bike plate on your dirt bike boy? Ain’t got no tread on your tires boy… lemme check your paperwork. Every ignorant redneck cop wanted to check my paperwork b/c i wasn’t riding a Harley. Filed for my Veteran’s tag, and have only been pulled over once since I got it b/c i stood up b/c my pants were all bunched up my legs and was accused of “doing tricks”, my uncle’s a retired police commissioner and he’ll be the first one to tell you the same thing. cops are being forced into increased “minimum requirements” b/c quota’s after all are illegal. duties moved from serving and protecting to generating lost revenue sadly. ---

Well I did about 400 miles on my bike Saturday from Syracuse to Rochester to Buffalo and back. Took the back roads to Buffalo and the 90 back to Syracuse. Saw plenty of cops but most of them had someone pulled over when I passed. However, coming back on the 90, went right by a trooper doing 82 and being PASSED by another car. Trooper didn’t budge _knocks on wood_ ---

Another fun summer in shitty as fuck Buffalo \<3 yea i think i’m boycotting the S&R for the rest of the year, they had a roadblock setup on genesee just before you hit transit and were pulling over every honda…yea…only hondas checking VIN’s on engines and such…they kept me there for a good 30 mins for no reason at all…my car is legal as they come(cept no front plate) but anyway i think its stupid that they take a semi-decent event and turn it into profit ---
