Is it me or are these "crackdown on loud pipes" becoming more prevalent. Like society is saying once again "we don't want motorcycles around". How about a crackdown on Black american presidents who continue to spend our money on companies that are 80billion in the hole???

Every single community in the USA is short on cash......property values fall, so do the taxes they collect. For every job lossed, the city coffers come up short, and they dont likd to lay off "government employees or reduce their benefits...... so..... to balance budgets, all Uniformed officers in your State, County, City, Township, Village, etc......you name it have been informed to start enforcing more infractions and INCREASE REVENUE'S BY WRITING MORE TICKETS. ...... so broken headlight, tail light, cracked windshields, speeding, speeding up to beat Yellow Lights, noise, no seat belts, kids not in approved seats, rolling through stop signs..... JUST BEWARE. Also, many communities are installing hidden camera's at intersections to take photos of you running a red, or rolling through a stop sign. From what I found out......these companies offer to install these cameras FOR FREE. They get a percentage of the proceeds for every ticket generated.
So until the economy turns around and government gets more tax dollars.... we're all fair game.

Sorry this may be a bit off topic but just found out first hand, right from an employee of a local law enforcement agency that they were told start writing tickets for following too close. And this goes for motorcycles.
The topic about bike riders in the staggard position, may be too close and just might be "fair game" also. Well not so sure it's fair.
And this is all because they need more money. Again, this is right from the horses mouth so to speak.

She is going to ask and report at our next meeting about bikers riding in the staggard position. When she was asked by our members, she didn't know for sure. But she did say all officers were instructed to start writing more tickets for every little offense.
She also said "tailgating" as we all call it carries a $248 fine here.

San Francisco Police Announce Press Conference To Kick Off Crackdown On Loud Motorcycle Mufflers
In conjunction with the Board of Supervisors Noise Task Force, the San Francisco Police Department Traffic Division will conduct a press conference on Saturday, May 30, at Jefferson and Hyde streets at 2:00 P.M. to initiate a summer-long motorcycle muffler noise enforcement campaign. The enforcement operation will first focus of the Embarcadero, Fishermans Wharf, and Marina District areas.
The enforcement operation will target drivers whose motorcycle mufflers have been modified to increase noise, in violation of Vehicle Code Sections 27150 and 27151. The operation will later target other areas of the city where noise from modified motorcycle mufflers has generated complaints.
Just across the bridge into Oakland, their Police Department just put louder mufflers on all their Harleys because they believe Loud Pipes Save Motor Cops Lives

They have taret areas as well and they seem to be by certain high schools and hang outs.

The way the law is wrote in MN it wouldn't stick.In MN it is legal to ride side by side (2 per lane) in same lane if both riders agree too. I didn't look for other states.

I do agree with these times they will be looking for more violation ticketing.
