Biker Basics 101

Biker Basics 101 supposedly enjoined.
Thanks Mr. Breeze, Biker Basics 101 is supposedly enjoined, but it sure does look like Pigott got that training and uses it despite court orders. I just realized we have a copy of the court order in the BOLT Library also, so I updated my previous post.

Motorcyclist Profiling
Mr. Breeze,
I just took another look at the 4 episodes at the WA legislature regarding House Bill 2511, on youtube titled "We've got something to say" Part 1, Part2, Part 3, and Part 4. If anyone hasn't seen them, it was a very civil meeting with the legislators and the facts were able to be presented in full. Outstanding. I highly recommend everyone see all 4 of the videos in the series.

You and David Devereaux did an excellent job, as did the representatives in the committee.
Observation about the process:
In Washington, Nevada, California, and many other states, people who bring testimony to a committee are provided microphones and are usually allowed to sit down in comfortable chairs, with a table in front of them for their notes. I don't think you would believe the contrast we have in North Carolina when we "try" to testify in a committee meeting. No sitting, no microphone, no table for our notes, and rude chairpersons preventing testimony. It all seems a lot more adversarial. It is like they do not want to hear anything we have to say. I'm glad to see that it is not like that all over the country. North Carolina is pathetic. We've got something to say, also, but are going to have to clean house to get some representatives to listen.

Trooper Piggots training
The training material 'Biker Basics 101' was a tool created by a Trooper DePretto. Trooper Piggot had received his training directly from Master DePretto. While Washington State courts did place an injunction against its use, the training was already ingrained in the pupils. There is nothing to indicate that the WSP has changed their training methods. What is apparent is that the methods are still in use by many of the Troopers. Trooper Piggot, and also Trooper Boardman have repeatedly shown that they are students of the Master.

One key component of Biker Basic 101 is found on page 1, IDENTIFY THE VIOLATION.
1. Helmet
2. Exhaust
3. Handlebars

Even in the face of Judicial reprimand, these same 3 violations are the most sought after infractions to detain motorcyclist.
We truly will not stop the mental checklist that the Trooper has engrained from their training, unless we have the laws changed so that their training is no longer valid.
