			<description><![CDATA[Robbb, Can't agree with you more. I know your post is old but in June coming back from Leconia and crossing the state line from Vermont to NY, There was Biker road block in Hoosick Falls Ny. Officer Dibbles gave all of us a ticket for not having a proper helmets.Being from NJ, I would have to travel 350 miles to plead not guilty. The court will not tell you what the fine is until you plead guilty. Hence it turned out to be $155.00. I would like to know if you know of a site that we can tell people not to travel or stay in NY state. Years ago AMA had requested that all bikers going to Myrtle and traveling through North Carolina to gas up in Virginia and not stop at all for anything in North Carolina because Spartensburg had the same road blocks. They stopped their road blocks when they found out that it had cost the state millions in lost revenues from travelers and tourists.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[They are absolutely profiling motorcyclists. By virtue of our relatively small numbers we are a minority group, complete with discrimination, stereotyping, and things like these manditory checkpoints. I'm sure if you stopped an equal number of cars the stats would be much worse. How many people are driving while doing unsafe things (no seatbelt, phone, text, makeup, eating)? How many criminals are running around in cars (more than 4 out of 5300 for sure)? The difference is that if you tried to check all the CARS at checkpoints like this you'd be completely overwhelmed and the outcry would be enormous. Motorcyclists, on the other hand, are easy prey because there just aren't that many of us and we're mostly on our bikes for recreation. Unfortunately, I don't know what to do or how to stop this.]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Never expect the Constitution to matter much in states like New Yorkistan, Illinoistan, or Californistan. Never expect individual rights, supreme under our Constitution, to outweigh the perceived (or conceived) "public interest" or "rights of the state".]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[Motorcycle only checkpoints seem to be more about harassment than anything else. The national Department of Transportation provides funding to states for this profiling. These types of programs should be the 1st to lose funding. We are trying to cut the deficit, aren't we? Imagine the reaction if everyone in an automobile was stopped for a "safety check" of unspecified duration!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[I don't think motorcyclists are being profiled but this certainly is trawling to boost tickets. Why not car checkpoints. Heck I could get a ticket, my inspection is up but me and my bike are straight arrow legal!]]></description>

			<description><![CDATA[The judge got it right. Stupid lawsuit brought by personal injury lawyer looking for motorcycle accident clients. An appeal will go nowhere.]]></description>
