California - Assembly Bill 1047 Motorcycle ONLY Checkpoints

OFF THE WIRE
Our other bill, AB 1047, to Stop MOTORCYCLE ONLY Checkpoints,
authored by the Vice Chairman of the Assembly Transportation Committee,
 Kevin Jefferies, is set to be heard in April, also in the Assembly Transportation Committee.
Our bill will prohibit the CA Office of Traffic Safety (OTS) from issuing grants
to law enforcement agencies to stage MOTORCYCLE ONLY Checkpoints
and also require the OTS to conduct audits of the safety checkpoint grants
to insure that law enforcement is complying!
This will be a major victory for motorcycle riders, who are being
singled out for profiling.
We will need letters and emails on this bill as well!
Stay tuned and look for our action alerts for what you can do to stop
this disgraceful discrimination against bikers!
