Stop Motorcycle Profiling

Here is a disturbing video of a motorcyclist who's arrested for not removing his helmet. The traffic stop is the product of police profiling.

And here is a demonstration video of a Virginia motorcyclists who is taking the most effective action to stop this kind of abuse: Campaign work.

Now you might ask yourself, what does one video have to do with the other? They're on opposite sides of the country, and worlds apart as far as what's happening on camera. What's the connection?

The answer is that there's a chain reaction taking place.

When one motorcyclist helps a biker-friendly candidate win, we are one step closer to a legislative majority. And only a legislative majority can repeal the universal helmet law.

With no helmet law, there's nothing to enforce!

That means no probable cause for pulling over, harrassing, and arresting the motorcyclist. No impounding of his bike. And no reason for him to go to court, either.
