Years ago at a MC clubhouse,a old biker was handing these cards out,just in case. I still carry one right beside my license. How many of you remember these?

I remember my Dad showing my Grandpa a card when I was a kid. He got it from a fellow biker while we lived in Ohio and my Grandpa was reading it and it sounded like something a Cop would say. It was a long time ago, mid 60's as I was about 7 or 8 yrs old. Funny thing, they were laughing about it...Guess I'll have to ask him about it.

Nothing like a little bump!

sounds like damn good sticker to put above your tag also.

Above the tag would be a bit hard to read. Attached to your DL or Proof of Insurance card would be suggested. Does NCOM have 'em available?

Same rules up here in canada as well.
Ill post it below for any Canadians who wonder this.

Your Rights Under the Canadian Charter of Rights
Section 2 of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS,
our Constitution reads as follows:
2. Everyone has the following fundamental freedoms
(a) Freedom of conscience and religion;
(b) Freedom of thought, belief, opinion and expression,
including freedom of the press and other media of
communication; (c) Freedom of peaceful assembly; and
(d) Freedom of association

Section 24 (1) of the CANADIAN CHARTER OF RIGHTS AND FREEDOMS,
reads as follows:
24. (1) Anyone whose rights or freedoms, as guaranteed by this charter, have been infringed or denied may apply to a court of competent jurisdiction to obtain such remedy, as the court considers appropriate and just in the circumstances.

Asserting Your Rights Traffic stops:
1. You only are required to give documentation for the vehicle and your driver's license nothing else.
2. You are not required to give any other information or answer any questions without consulting your lawyer.
3. Your vehicle cannot be searched without probable cause and you do not have to consent to any type of search.
4. If you have been arrested or detained you do not have to consent to any impoundment of your property and have the right to secure your property.
5. If you have not been told you are being detained and given a reason for this you have the right to leave.
Being Stopped on the Street by Police
If you are stopped by police outside your home or your car and you are not doing anything contrary to law, you are under No legal obligation to:
1. answer any questions as to your name and address, or
2. justify why you are where you are, or
3. produce identification or prove means of supporting yourself, or
4. go with police for further investigation or questioning UNLESS you are placed under arrest.
See Section 7 of the Charter of Rights, s 7: "Everyone has the right to life, liberty, and security of the person..."
CRIMINAL LAW - OBSTRUCT POLICE.
CRIMINAL PROCEDURE - IDENTITY - Duty to identify self.
R. v. Legault (1998) B.C.J. No. 1309, ADGN/98-970
British Columbia Supreme Court, Lamperson J. May 25, 1998
absent some provision to the contrary, a person must only identify himself or herself to a police officer, if that police officer is in a position to arrest that person or issue some form of summons to him/her. Otherwise there is no general duty to identify oneself to a police officer. Charge of obstuction reversed..

As in most of the states here, similar rights. But trying them out on some of the overzealous (City of Chicago comes to mind) LEO's could bring more hassle. For this reason alone, the printed card is a valuable asset. Anyone check into availability? NCOM? Mike Hupy?

would notmind one of those myself may print one up and laminate it
