OT : BIKERS AND COPS

Something else for you guys.....

Is it against the law for a certain number of bikers to ride together down the freeway? I've seen many clips of police trying to pull over/stop groups of bikers or picking on one in particular in a group. Of course they rarely, if ever, succeed. Why do they do this?

Many states have laws where jf a certain number of people congregate they can legally be considered a gang. Also biker gangs are known and so are their routes.

When bikers ride for charity 500 - 600 hundred in a group is not unusual here. Icey of course is dead wrong, because an aspect of the First Amendment is the right to assemble and a numeric restriction alleging a certain number of anyone constitutes a "gang" is not only idiotic, but would actually prevent his beloved BLM terrorists from assembling to riot, loot and burn.

In America no one should be harassed by the Police if they’re not breaking the law.

Police are “Profiling” bikers because too many movies, TV shows, books, newspapers articles have created a distorted picture of the Motorcycle Clubs as outlaws.

Only a very small number of motorcycle riders are true outlaws, the so called 1%ers and the police know who they are, because they wear their colors/patches.

Police would regularly stop groups of bikers to try to arrest people with active warrants or that are carrying guns or knives, breaking the law.

I'm not sure of the answer but I have seen on 2 occasions the police escorting very large groups of motorcyclists through Atlanta on I-75/85. I'm talking more than 100 bikers.

I'm not wrong. Gang injunctions are one example where freedom to assemble gets trampled on.

And laws also differ for private public spaces etc.

Gee Icey when we do our annual Christmas Toys for Tots run in December we have had as many as 700 riders along with quite a few cops as part of the ride. Never been hassled.

Gang injunctions? How cool, having never heard of such a thing in courts ... well courts in America.

We have a chapter of "Outcast," the black 1% motorcycle club, near me in NJ. I've seen them lots of times riding en masse along with their chapter from PA. (You can tell by looking at their vests.) At least a few dozen or more. It's something to see because they're all black, they dress all in black, and their Harleys are all black. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i9KXLfBRjZk/maxre…

It's obvious that most car drivers (cagers) are terrified of them, but as a fellow biker I'm always impressed by how they ride. For example, if they're making a left at a green light, most likely the light will change before they're all through. They have designated riders who stop and block both the oncoming traffic and the cross streets as they proceed through the intersection, kind of like a funeral procession, except there are no cops or blinking lights. Lol. I don't know if it's legal, probably not, but it seems pretty sensible.

We also have a chapter of Hells Angels close by, but for some reason I never see them out riding. https://i.ytimg.com/vi/i9KXLfBRjZk/maxre…

Personally, I don't like riding in groups. Probably because I like to go where I want, for as long as I want, with no preset agenda. At most, I'll ride with two other guys. Even then, it's somewhat restrictive based on everybody's schedule. Riding solo, I sometimes go out for a few hours, and don't come back for two days!

IceyLoco is a poser. More proof of that in his comments on his thread.

Skibum gang injunctions are normal. Wrong and racist but common.

IceyLoveCock... unless you're a member of the mafia, or a one percenter MC, I really doubt you know what you're talking about. And since a faggot can't belong to either of those groups, I'm saying you're full of shit.

I rode many times in a group with the Patriot Guard and the police often times escorted us.

Youre fucking idiots if you don't know how gang injunctions or prohibiting certain logos works when it comes to motorcycle and other gangs

Wah little bitch. Hi protest guy, wah. I do agree that just having the cops shoot every gang member in the country is preferable to a gang injunction.
