Random question for some of the LEO's out there.  
Hypothetically speaking of course.  If you pulled someone on a motorcycle over and they had a legal bike. legal plates, and current tags but NO motorcycle endorcement/permit.  What would your actions be?  Ticket, Fine, Impound, Nothing??

also, are you more likely to pull someone over in a car of on a bike.  
Thank you very much.

You wouldn't drive a car without getting a license first.  What would make you ride a bike without getting the MC first?


The reason they have a law on it is because riding a bike is DANGEROUS if you don't know what you're doing.

Learn to ride, get the MC endorsement, and obey the traffic rules.  Simple really.

Why don't you have a motorcycle endorsement?

Quoted:



Thank you Johnny law.

The answer to this is very simple.........



Depends.







EDIT:  For those that don't know what "depends" means then here's an illustration.



SCENARIO 1:


Pull over bike.  Walk up to bike.
[Me] Good afternoon Sir, I stopped you because you have no brake light on this bike.

[You]  Really?  I just bought the bike sir and I really didn't know.  I've only had it a week.

[Me]  That's understandable.  Do you have your license, registration, and insurance?

[you]  Yes sir, here it is.

noticing there is no MC endorsement

[Me]  Sir, I see you have no MC endorsement.  Do you realize that is a criminal traffic offense? You could be taken to jail and have your MC impounded.

[You]  Sir, I had no idea.....insert line of BS here whatever it is.......I'm sorry sir.  I guess I'm a dummy.  I'll be getting that right away.

[Me]  Listen, you need to get that and get that brake light fixed....some other driver out here might wind up rear-ending you and killing you.  Motorcyclists don't usually "win" those encounters.

handing back papers.

[You] Yes sir. Thank you

[Me] Be careful.

End result.  Verbal warning and perhaps a little verbal chastisment

SCENARIO 2:


Pull over bike.  Walk up to bike. Before I get a chance to say anything...

[You]  What?

[Me] Sir, turn off the bike.

[You] WHY?

[Me] Sir, turn off the bike.

[You] Whatever dude, you don't have to act like a dick.

[Me] Sir stay on the bike!

[you] WTF dude, relax!  WTF did I do?

[Me] Do you have your license, registration, and insurance?

[you] with out saying a word proceed to get off the bike after I told you not to.

[Me] I SAID STAY ON THE BIKE!

[You] What the fuck is your problem man?! I'm getting what you asked for. It's under the fucking seat man.

[me] Do you have any weapons in there or anything I need to know about?

[You] I'm not a fucking criminal dude.

[Me] That's not what I asked.  Do you have any weapons?

[You] No.

[Me] Please step off the bike and get your license, reg, and ins then.

getting your things and then handing them to me in a pissy way with a 'fuck you' look

[Me] Sir, stay here and I'll be right back.

go back to car and write criminal ticket with court date for no MC endorsement and citation for whatever it was I pulled you over for.

[Me] Sir this is a criminal citation for no MC endorsement.  You have to appear on this date....

interrupting

[You] What the FUCK!  I have a license! That's bullshit man!

[me] Sir, you need to sign here at the bottom and...

[You] I'm not signing that.  That's Bullshit.

[Me]  Sir refusal to sign is a criminal violation. By signing you are not admitting guilt. You are agreeing to show up at this court date.

[You] Fuck that. That's bullshit.

[Me] into radio Dispatch, send me one more for backup. to be a witness if I have to whip your ass

backup arrives

[Me] Sir, turn around and place your hands behind your head.

[You] What?.....

[Me] Sir, turn around and place your hands behind your head. You're under arrest.

[You] What? No wait, I....

[Me] Too late.  Put your hands behind your head.

[you] What the fuck man....I didn't do anything....I didn't...

you are promptly stuffed in handcuffs and recieve a little assistance directly proportionant to your level of resistance and ass-hattery.

[Me] into radio  Send a flatbead tow....it's for a MC.

[i]You then cry like a little bitch in the back of my car all the way to jail proclaiming you didn't do anything and this is unfair. [/span]


And for those that DO think this is unfair, I remind you to go review SCENARIO 1 again.  Life is what you make it.


And BTW SCENARIO 2 almost played out exactly like that a couple years back.
