The thing is they probably made money. How many tickets do you think they wrote? They dont do it because they want to stop accidents - they do it because they make a TON of money.

 

Sounds like Georgia has decided they don't need our tourist business anymore either.

Checkpoints in America, frikken sad, what next cameras.

 

Any other states seen an increase in check-points?? I've been in NJ for almost 3 years and I see a few every summer. But, they're always in the same spot. Problem is there's a right turn right before their stop. Funny how much more traffic seems to use that road on days they're out there. No one seems to care either.

 

Correction

There IS an attempt to define a "Sportbike". Sec 3 18a see A,B,C, and D

Horrible legislation. I strongly suspect the bill will die in Homeland Security Committee on Tuesday. Yes that Homeland Sec. If not there then the timeline to pass on the floor of the Tx Senate is real tight so it may not make it out.

Its been real difficult getting the Sportbike community aware and active but the Defenders are on it.
Just remove the word Sportbike and it gets us all.

Why would it be in the Home Sec committee?

 

You Georgia rides need to watch the case pending in NY state supreme court. Get involved and join the US Defender program in GA.

 

Sooo, did they only check lic./reg./ins. and helmets? OR did they break out the decibel meters and tape measures?
Inquiring minds want to know.

 

Amazing isn't it?

Transportation and Dept of Homeland Sec are combined

 

Gubberment at its finest. Have checkpoints ever been challenged in the SCOTUS? Every time I read about any check point here in the US I flash back going through checkpoint charley into east berlin back in 84 and 86, frikken sad days in our country.
