Words from the amicus

This is great.
This is my favorite paragraph.

Of the approximately three hundred million people living in America, fifty-seven million of them ride a bicycle. Despite almost one-fourth of all Americans engaging in the activity, many law enforcement officers do not understand the statutory and Terry rights of bicycle operators. Bias against bicycle operators by motorists (including law enforcement) has existed since the turn of the 19th century. Bicycle operators continually deal with bias, misunderstanding, and unfair treatment by ignorant Peace Officers. Therefore, this Court must exercise its power to explicitly extend the protections of Terry to bicycle operators, to ensure fairness and just treatment in traffic law enforcement.

The amicus is nearly finished. If you'd like to support it, either join Bike Amici or mail us a small monetary donation. Either way, send an email to info@bikeamici.org - we look forward to hearing from you, preferably by Thanksgiving.
