Well I watched it happen with choppers in the 60's and 70's, Cars in the 70's and 80's, Boats in the 80's and 90's and now here we go with another fabricated emergency to make it convenient to steal your vehicle in the name of the LAW.
We as bike owners are under attack and you better believe it is real.
Just read the FRONT PAGE of the Orlando sentinel this morning
In a state that has unbelievable violent crime problem and has a murder rate out of control we decide that our biggest problem is a few (by relative numbers) bikers that are creating an inconvenience for the FHP.
I don’t know about you but I am now old enough to be getting SICK and TIRED of the lawmakers telling us it is wrong to own a hot car or bike.
GET REAL!!! Ever seen American Graffiti you idiots! It is as American as apple pie!
Great example.. I happen to be lucky and work hard to afford a few nice hobbies. If I go out in my boat that is fast, has a big motor and in general is a hotrod on water I can get stopped by an often do get stopped for a “safety inspectionâ€.
Now lets take any point on the water in Florida you have Florida Law enforcement officers, Sheriff department, City Police, DEA, Coast Guard, Marine Patrol, Fish & Game and don’t forget homeland security. ALL of these agencies can stop you and detain you for NO REASON! We are going to see this on our bikes (already are) It will get worse just open your eyes and watch!
Do we really need that many law enforcement agencies to write tickets for minor offences like traffic violations?
Those of you with boats know what I am talking about. Kida like being pulled over for a stop light out and being asked (told) they want to search you and your car except you don’t even need to have a tail light out!
They will search you for an hour and make your day just stink and if you have any personal protection on the boat you will be assumed to be a drug runner and be towed to the closest dock for even a more detailed search.. You know electronics , dogs and hole cutting if the feel like it.
That is the reward you get for being a hard working tax payer that goes to work and raises a family and buys a toy to enjoy on the weekend.
Wake up people our rights to enjoy life are being taken away every day.
All ranting and raving aside why do we sit by and watch the FHP grow to a bloated number that makes you see one every time you pull on a highway. County and city police are spending more and more time patrolling for traffic violations to collect tax dollars.
Here is a really out there idea… How bout we take them off of tax collector duties and put them on the streets to catch the real criminals. The killers, rapists, robbers and spend less time trying to single out a very small portion of the population for harassment!
When is the last time you saw a police officer walking in a bad neighborhood “Keeping the Peace?†There are bad guys there with guns it might be dangerous.. silly thought.
GET THEM OFF THE FREEWAY AN ON THE STREETS WHERE THEY CAN DO SOME GOOD!
If you think this is a over reaction just read the front page of the Orlando sentinel.
Here is a link to the article… Does anyone else feel that you are being screwed
