That pesky Bill of Rights ruins everything.
"Gallardo singled out the Hells Angels as one reason why police must defend Arizona from the Bill of Rights"
An Arizona bill intended to reduce police harassment of bikers died
last week. The bill was SB 1086 sponsored by State Senator Judy Burges.
It was voted out of the Senate Public Safety Committee last month but
failed in the Arizona Senate Committee of the Whole.
The bill would have required that police officers in training be
instructed that “the sole fact that a person rides a motorcycle or wears
motorcycle-related paraphernalia” does not amount to a reasonable
suspicion or probable cause that riders are criminals.
The Arizona Confederation of Clubs and numerous members of the
Confederation had lobbied on behalf of the bill. Dozens of bikers packed
last month’s hearing and told the politicians about being stopped and
held at gun point for up to an hour while cops tried to find an excuse
to arrest them and tow their bikes.
