They have weigh stations for 18 wheelers and now they want check points for 2 wheelers. YOUR PAPERS.  what will they do if I didn't feel like stopping. Are they going to shoot us. This is one reason that I am a 1%er.

It's called profiling. All bikers must be bad people, or they would not be on a bike. Thats like saying all people of foreign descent are bad. 

COP: "Look at that. There is a black man behind the wheel of that Caddy. Better pull him over because he is black

Caddy driver: "Yes officer." 

Cop: Licence, registration and insurance please."

Caddy driver: "Yes officer." 

Cop: "Ummmm...geee...sorry Mr. Freeman."

A letter was sent to one of our officers of ontario county ABATE from a ny state senator and in the letter was a description of a bill that would allow for a riders dna to be collected at a motorcycle only stop/check point.no one has tried to pass this or introduce this yet,but some one is definatly kicking around the idea and wanting to get this bill some momentum,the kicker is you do not have to be arrested to have the dna collected,it will just be collected. huge violation of rights,why? bigger dna base needed to solve murders that have gone cold.that is what the premise is on that.why target the motorcycle riding population?are they not going to take dna from anyone else?so now we are criminals and now we should be suspected of murders. more harassment that is unnecessary and likely to once again cost the taxpayer.

On March 9th, GSP troopers will conduct the "B.E.A.S.T." event. The Biker Education Awareness Safety Team consists of state troopers patrolling Interstate 95 for a day. The troopers will stop motorcyclists and will check their helmets, among other equipment, to see that they are Department of Transportation (D.O.T.) approved. Trooper Harris said the reason for this 2nd annual event isn't to ticket bikers, rather it’s to get them to be safer, if possible.
