Harassment

OFF THE WIRE
Today a club member called seeking help with police harassment. This biker was stopped and harassed twice in 2 days in Rancho Cordova. This is a little community just outside of Sacramento. It is the same police department that gave Mark a helmet ticket. In Marks case though, when the cop found out about Marks reputation, the officer became too ill to make it to court (twice).

This biker was stopped for non EPA pipes, his vest confiscated (for evidence); charged with a felony (concealed weapon, a knife on his belt) and was told to remove his DOT (store bought) helmet. This particular biker had heard Mark and me speak on several occasions...but this is how he decided to come to B.O.L.T. : Upon being harassed by the officer, the biker pulled from his wallet the infamous “AIM” card, you know “in case you ever get stopped show this to the cops”. The cop laughed, handcuffed the guy and through him in jail, charged him with a misdemeanor on the pipes (not a fix it ticket). Upon his release the biker immediately contacted his local MMA rep, who said “call B.O.L.T.” I forgot to mention his bike was impounded due to no M1 license

One thing about this guy, he isn’t asking B.O.L.T to fight on his behalf; he wants to learn how to fight back, not defensively but offensively.
