now in denver, it looks like they re-enacted an old EPA law so they cna ppull bikes over just to check
So am I.

Back in the day, when I used to ride a sport bike, I'd get pulled over all the time. For no reason whatsoever. I'd get picked out of a stopped line of traffic and be asked to present valid id. When i asked "Why me" I was told "it's for your own safety".

About 10 years back a large group of HA were pulled over for "id checks". Their was no reason to pull them over, none given at all. (I've read that they purposely paraded in a very large group, in order to get pulled over, so that they would have a reason to file a human rights claim with our Supreme Court) Anyways, I believe their lawyers filed this claim based on the reason that if a biker (or anyone else) is not breaking a law, looking like he is about ot break a law, or has already broke a law, then the man has absolutely no rights whatsoever to single him or her out and pull them over.

Now, i'm not gonna sit here and paint pretty pictures about what the HA really do for a living, and I am not niave in realizing they have their own reasons to fight this, but since then i have never been pulled over for no reason, ever.
