Helmet case win in Cherokee, NC, by the McGrath law firm. The state
failed to articulate why a helmet did not comply. Cherokee is in western
NC and is where Ron hammered away at them, getting the courts primed.

Matt Danielson from Tom McGrath's Motorcycle Law Group reports a helmet law
victory in Cherokee NC on Monday Dec. 4th. They represented a client wearing
a helmet without a DOT label, and won their case against the State, with the
court ruling that the State needs to articulate how the helmet does not
comply with the standard. They also report they have two more cases pending
in Carthage NC Superior Court.
If you are riding in NC and get a helmet ticket, first of all, don't
volunteer to hand them your helmet, that is consenting to a search. Instead,
state that you do not consent to a search. Consult your lawyer for specific
advice, or contact Matt, as he teaches seminars on your rights about this
issue.
Elizabeth Sorrell is handling these helmet cases pro bono.
