RE: Did the police do the right thing?
In my opinion here in the Milwaukee area (where Harleys are made)theHarleys/cruisers are the ones driving irresponsible never wearing any type of gear and always speeding or doing a burnout or revving that annoying engine. I hope the cops stop profiling sportbikes, normally we aren't being crazy and almost every sportbike rider I see around here has gear on.

RE: Did the police do the right thing?
I am sorry to say this, but they did not mess up unless they did something there that put you guys in danger. the police isnt harrasing you. They have the right to have control posts and pull over whatever they want. If "a person" have something illegal on a bike, well then "the person" knew that if a officer noticed that you would get a fine no matter where a control was
i am not supporting to any side here, im just saying that if they cant stop and pull over those who they want to pull over, they have no "work" to do.
i wouldnt suggest spending money on a lawyer, because it will only end up with that "the person" broke the law riding without mirrors (just an example) and the police did a routine control...
law is hard.. bite the egg

RE: Did the police do the right thing?
they cant pull over whoever they want they have to have a reason.
i know that doesnt apply in this situation, but that is the law.
as far as guilt by association goes, i always wondered how that worked.
i know you can get pulled over b/c ur part of the group, but can you be ticketed bc of things other people in the group are doing?
i know the tickets you got were bc u were in the group, but say, if im riding w. 5 guys and 2 of them wheelie, or speed, they cant give us all tickets can they? this is hypothetical i was jw while were on the subjct.

RE: Do the police do the right thing?
We regularly do charity runs, funeral runs, memorial runs etc with as many as 30 000 bikes- The cops out here give us an escort !! I recently tried to contact the correct section of the Police regarding a funeral procession but never received any answers. I wonder whether a funeral procession on a freeway constitutes a convoy ? Not in this country....!! Sure, we get harassed for no plates, speeding etc but this seems to be "police targetting" - If you didn't do anything wrong, contest the fines......The cops had clearly planned the whole thing before the ride started, so it looks like premeditation to me........
