They are totally unwarranted, unnecessary, and as this story illustrates, used by police to violate our constitutional right against unwarranted searches.Rapid Robertnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-80919961132880685092009-10-14T06:02:30.821-06:002009-10-14T06:02:30.821-06:00I live in Dallas, I commute by bike, I ride a bike...I live in Dallas, I commute by bike, I ride a bike for fitness and fun. I was all in favor of the helmet laws then it became a "cause celeb" for those who resist any laws such as red lights, stop signs,etc. this is the same group that wants the city to fund a private playground of bikeways on public streets so they can continue to flaunt safe traffic laws with impunity and protection of the city. <br /><br />I can not tell you how many drug deal I have witnessed on the MUT in town. I am all for continued enforcement of the helmet laws.Cliffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08681219095318793095noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-14852171.post-85279037847748289362009-10-13T13:49:13.572-06:002009-10-13T13:49:13.572-06:00Pretty transparent - they aren't really cracki...Pretty transparent - they aren't really cracking down on those idiot cyclists who don't wear helmets, it's an easy pretext to stop someone they suspect of something "more sinister"murphstahoehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17378354136823393492noreply@blogger.com
