I'm guessing this had a lot to do with the patch.

How about 20 illegal Mexicans speeding down the highway on the way to their jobs at a construction site? (displacing American workers)
Pulling them over for speeding would be profiling? Then they don't have U.S. issued IDs and can't speak English... would detaining them until the police can confirm their identity and immigration status be unconstitutional?

Racial (mid-east terrorist looking type) profiling at an airport and Mongol profiling on an interstate make sense to me. Nobody's rights are being violated. MC clibs commit crimes. If you roll with one you will be suspected of being a possible criminal. DUH!!!

I went to court once and the defendant showed up wearing his impressive purple & gold pimp-suit & a shirt that said "life of crime". Needless to say, the judge was not impressed. I can't help but think that things would have gone a little easier for him if he had just worn a pair of slacks and a button-down shirt.

Its tough to say, not knowing all the details. Maybe they were speeding. Idaho LEOs generally leave people alone, at least as far as I have noticed. However, this particular 1% club carries a reputation with it. My guess is they wouldn't have been pulled over if they had Wild Hogs Patches.
Can you imagine the uproar if LEO's pulled over a group or 20 black motorcyclists.. then handcuffed everyone and did a search?

If you live anywhere near the city, you have grown up around criminal activity your whole life.
If you've ever been a neighborhood that is mob controlled...it is the most peaceful and quiet neighborhood you will see.
Violence and straight talk have a way of providing that in a way that blue suit and badges never will.

I'm sure the people in Juarez, Mexico would disagree with you.

Its fairly amusing, guys getting thier panties in a twist of profiling of 1% clubs, yet in the same breath they have no problems saying LEO'S are dirty, corrupt and not to be trusted. Hypocrisy?
In the end maybe you should treat others as you wish to be treated. I relaize this is fairly simplistic but in reality, if you just want to go camping, be polite and friendly. If you want a rep as a badass act like one, but dont complain when you get treated as one.

Handcuffed, searched and released?
When an officer denies someone their freedom by handcuffing them he has in effect arrested them. An officer does not have the authority to "un-arrest" someone. They should be taken before a magistrate. These unconstitutional procedures are why officers and their departments and towns get sued. If this is a safety precaution as stated by a previous poster then there is something lacking in training with those officers. Preventive detention is a poor policy for this country.

Good grief.....
Sure is a lot of speculation out there..... Far as I know none of us were actually present when this took place so none of us know all the details. (And no, I don't blindly believe everything I see in print, so I took the article for what it's worth)....
I'm right
No I'm right
