Cops

Ive had my share of being mad at cops for citations that i didnt agree with, but being im young i just assume im wrong :rolleyes:. but the other night in the city i was riding with a buddy of mine, he was on a R6. we were on the main drag through town. as we left the lights we both got into the throttle pretty heavy, although i know better than to do this here I proceeded. when i noticed the cop on the side of the road i grabbed a handfull of brake to slow down from 80mph... its a 35mph road. i stopped at the next light only to have the officer tell us both to pull over, over the intercom. so i hand him my license and registration. My buddy didnt have his reg as he just got the bike and was on ther other guys plate. he also didnt have a motorcycle endorsment. so after a half hour of bulls**t on the side of the road the cop tells us "You Should be careful accelerating like that side by side somebody might confuse it for racing". to shorten the rest of the story he let us both ride away without so much as a warning.

So you were doing 80 in a 35 zone and your buddy didn't have a MC license. And you consider the half hour bull****?? I'd consider it a your birthday and christmas presents all rolled up into one.
 
trust me i was astounded that we were able to walk away.. bull was the wrong term i guess. i didnt mean it in a bad way. just meant running plates and names and stuff

Yeah, sounds like you guys know the roads and the situation here. It has usually been great riding out there which is why I chose it. And I do think about the many times I didn't get caught. But it's not like I'm stealing anything; I'm not putting anyone at risk or threatening public safety. It's really about revenue enhancement; very little is being done to protect us from bad drivers but they are writing BS tickets in droves. Every day there are people on cell phones paying no attention whatsoever; locally one recently killed a motorcyclist stopped at a traffic signal - just ran right through her and killed her dead. They're swerving all over the road blabbering desperately important meaningless conversations while mindlessly piloting a deadly weapon.... A guy ran a stop sign right in front of my house today, again... You know the score. So getting a BS ticket kinda burns my ass. It was clear what was going on was a ticket writing "factory" for revenue purposes and not any attempt to make the roads safer. And I will fight it; already looked into that. I think what I really want and miss is simple freedom and wide open spaces without the threat of getting screwed for doing what every ounce of my soul wnats to do... ride like the f*cking wind.

natural,
Guess the old axe, " never one around when you need one." is applicable. The paradox is that the reason so many folks are allowed to DWI (drive while ignorant) is because they just wanna be free to do so, same as us when we feel like speeding. :rolleyes:

Oh yeah, the "sign-off" crack was appreciated and well deserved.:D
 
I've had similar experiences here a few times. One cop said he only pulled me over because the car drivers around would have expected him too. Another said he just wanted to look at the bike. I was doing at least 50km over both times.

Have said it before, Canberra cops seem to be pretty lenient towards bikes. I hear Queensland a little bit different, TC?
 
Lynyrd Skynyrd songs says not to back talk the police because its his job to put you in the jail. Some are rediculous, most are just folks doing a job that we won't do. They are humans too and based on the laws of averages some must be pricks and some nice and most in between, just like the rest of us. There is the power over people problem that the uniform and gun bring but only to a few. I try to remember what they face everyday. Yesterday we saw a license plate here in Raleigh, NC and I asked Lori if she were a policeman and saw this car weaving would she pull it over? Tag read "TRANYBOY" :eek:. They walk among us y'all. Fight it in court.
