I'm a DSBC sponsor. Please thank me with your busi
This is truly important for anyone who values the freedom to ride motorcycles or drive cars without the possibility of having your vehicle seized
If we do not make some noise about this bill, and it gets passed as currently written, it will be a slippery slope downwards from here with what we take for granted now becoming a criminal offence.
Please read on and consider doing your part to be heard. Remember, Freedom ain’t cheap, and it ain’t always easy, but it’s worth the price
Bill 14
This is crazy;
Thecops can pull you over for no reason demand you take your helmet off and confiscate it and it is a criminal offence to refuse
they can impound your bike for just about any reason and you can't stop them
(McNeney said you can threaten the tow truck driver - not the cop - that you and BCCOM will sue him personally for "trespass to chattel"and then he may refuse to tow the bike).
If they catch you going more than 40 Kmover the speed limit for any reason your bike / car is gone
riding side by side is an offence
We have to all join BCCOM again so McNeney and Co. can fight at least some of this bill.
