Motorcyles Taunting Police...

[Zfan]

Did some shit stain on a bike go boom? If so, so much for organ donations...damn

[SS Junk]

Said he slid for 100 to 200yards or so.

Must have been hauling serious ass, like going far faster than that bike is capable of to slide for that distance.

singled out

I understand there are some jackasses out there that ruin it for the rest of us, but this guy did not deserve to be singled out.

DALLAS — As far as traffic stops go, biker Chris Moore says the reason a Dallas County deputy sheriff pulled him over was nowhere near routine.

It wasn't for speeding. Moore said Deputy James Westbrook wanted his helmet camera.

"[I was pulled over for] other people's activities," Moore said. "Primarily, I felt like, because I had the camera."

The video from Moore's helmet camera seems to support the claims in this exchange recorded on Memorial Day weekend:

MOORE: "Was I doing something wrong? What am I being pulled over for?"

WESTBROOK: "The whole group of you guys."

MOORE: "No. I was not, individually. How can you pull me over?"

WESTBROOK: "The reason you're being pulled over is because I'm gonna take your camera, and we're gonna use it as evidence of... in the crimes that have been committed by other bikers."

MOORE: "I have not committed any crimes and you cannot take my personal property from me, sir."

WESTBROOK: "That's fine. Need to see your license and registration."

But after a few minutes inside his squad car, Deputy Westbrook returns with what appears to be a new concern -- an obstructed license plate on Moore's bike.

WESTBROOK: "You're under arrest for your license plate being obstructed. Place your hands..."

MOORE: "Are you kidding me, dude?"

WESTBROOK: "Place your hands behind your back."

News 8 asked if the Dallas County Sheriff's Department was concerned about Westbrook's actions that day.

"We are looking into the conduct," said department spokeswoman Carmen Castro. "There has been no official investigation brought forward, but we are looking to determine if his conduct was appropriate for the situation at hand."

"Of course it's over a hundred bikers. Who are you going to pick?" Castro asked. "The ones that are going to help you a little bit more or had the video camera that would've assisted more."

When asked whether a warrant is required for the kind of traffic stop made by Deputy Westbrook, Castro offered no response.

The department released its own dashcam video Wednesday as proof that a group of bikers posed a public safety threat. However, the video did not come from the deputy who made the arrest, and at this point, it does not prove that the biker who was arrested was in any way involved with that group.

Quoted to see it end soon. Stunting has been going on for a long while now. How is it going to come to an end soon?

I just don't see the police departments putting up with this much longer. Its not the occasional rider doing stupid shit, but more a gang like activity that blatantly parades their actions for everyone to see.

Wow that is nuts. You have to think at some point this is going to come to some sort of boiling point with the DPD.

I wouldn't be surprised to hear that they already have some UCs out there, but there are so many bikers in DFW would could you do?

Yep

[naynay]

Pussy?

Sure, because everyone knows that bikes are easy to catch in a 2011 Crown Vic that weighs 4300 lbs and has the same 4.6L 2V that has been produced for over a decade......

why the truck though..?

[Downs]

Obstructed license plate my ass. That thing is pretty fuckin visible.

Yea that arrest was Bullshit!

[Downs]

Wonder if you got the radio recordings if there would be a conversation between this guy and another officer about what to arrest this guy for so they could get the camera.

Holy shit, you could power all of China with my rage.



If something like that happened to me, I would do everything in my power to fuck over that cop.

[Bad A$$ Coupe]

It's funny but most of the guys talking shit about these bikers are the same ones in the other threads about gun control and dwi stops saying just show them id and comply, fuck that, this is the kind of shit that makes me not give a fuck when one of those fat pigs goes down or gets hurt, MOST of them are assholes with a hard on... I hope they get sued and make it harder on the police to pull us over... Make them stop real crime and stop hating on shit they can't do on a Sunday because they are at work! I see more than 30-40 cops come in for free drinks at 7 eleven across from my shop, and the few times I call it takes 3-4 hours to get a fucker there, I'm gonna start filming them there, call 911 and see how long it takes for them to show up...

[abecx]

I think its funny that Cops have the IQ and patience of a 12 year old. Bullied much?

[onemeangixxer7502]

yes this-



you may outrun it in a short burst, but you cannot outrun it (or highly unlikely) with it in addition to motorola

it probably cost $3-5,000 per hour to fly that thing.. those are our tax dollars..

/thread?

They can go faster in a straight line but obviously your line of sight can see it for miles and they will easily go 120-150mph with a good tail wind. No where near 3k per hr for a jet ranger.

[ARIX]

Pretty soon Drones will be taking over for the helicopters and probably will help quite a bit with this situation.

[Armedtrigger01]

Only the main toll way runs down the center of dfw not all the roads go that way for someone who worked out there it would be easy ti cross main flight paths to keep a chopper at bay

[Baba Ganoush]

Please don't act like you know how cops think about bikes.

With all due respect sir, I have a very good idea how the local police feel about motorcycles. It is certainly not similar to the attitude you expressed, I assure you.
