I Saw You: V.2.0

To the moron on the yellow Suzuki on the Gardiner EB

Passing another rider in their own lane is the height of uncool, disrespect and poor taste. Luckily for the rest of us, your riding habits point to a short riding career.

LOL it happens man.
I almost made some squid a hood ornament on my truck this morning. Guy was weaving in and out of traffic, no signals, no shoulder check, riding in a t-shirt. Cut right out in front of me, almost spilled my coffee ;).
Natural selection has its was of weeding these guys out.

Re: To the moron on the yellow Suzuki on the Gardiner EB

At least nothing serious happened. Did you get the plates?

joyinc ... is that you riding squid on your avatar?
 
So you and 3 other guys had to quote the whole picture in your reply? :confused:

Poor technical net / forum skills have mooted my argument eh?
 
I'm trying hard to take the advice seriously on "snitching" but I can't get there. No way to determine what jurisdiction would apply (where exactly was this? could be mars for all we know) and like someone else said - how do you prove "who" it was...

On the slow lane topic, well, he was exiting at the time and took the wheelie all the way up the ramp. (he was in all three lanes at one point or another w/o droping back down)

You dont need to prove who it was by facial recognition....a conviction can be made based on distinctive gear and bike markings if he is spotted on the road by a cop in the future.

He will have a hard time arguing that his bike was borrowed or stolen. The only thing that might aid his defence is location, but thanks to the photo and the mississauga skyline in the background and a witness confessing to the location, again this dude will have a hard time fighting it.

Public roads, public domain. Rider's own risk. Snitching or not, the rider is lucky a resident from Belfountain didn't snap a pick with the plate and notify the cops. Best to keep it in a parking lot or wheelie without witnesses. Ah, right, then what would be the fun in that?

Okay, I'm jeolous.

JMO.

lol! here i was expecting a lecture about not wearing gear!

i always wear gear, but i was asked to be in a parade and it was boiling out! since we were going at a walking pace, another rider held my jacket cause my tank was decorated and i didnt want to ruin it :)

and thank you :happy7:

No way will this hold up in court.

An ex-cop at my current place of employment told me they have to ticket the rider, not the bike. If you were speeding home and they somehow managed to get your plates and find where you live, they would have to beat you home and get you before you were able to ungear. If they arrived after you had already put your bike/gear away, they would be unable to prove beyond a reasonable doubt that it was infact you riding the bike, and are therefore unable to issue a ticket.

This may not apply here but this issue came up many times when I lived in the UK. Some dudes may have been seen by a cop in one stretch of road and radioed it ahead to others, or bikers stunting were caught on camera from the front, or they had their plates covered, and it is always near impossible to nail a biker based on face recognition as you can fall back on with a car driver. So they used "distinctive gear and markings" as equal to face or license plate. Since this dude is up on the net doing something illegal and if a cop downloaded the pic, all they have to do is match him up if they see him on the road. He (the biker)will have to prove that wasn't him on the bike, because his bike is ultimately his responsibility, so they will persist in demanding he provide evidence of who was on the bike. If he doesn't that can be another charge of obstruction, and you see where it can go from there.

i.e. if it was stolen he would have had to file a report, if he lent it to someone he would have to provide information in an ongoing investigation, or face the charge himself because they may have enough to convict him on it.

If a buddy of mine borrowed my ride, and now I'm the one facing impounding, loss of license and thousands of dollars of fines, hiked insurance, etc, how silent do you think I would be? So playing dumb with a cop when he catches you with evidence might not drop the scent off you!

I have been mugged before and given a description of the mugger's clothes and they were picked up on that alone over a week later! So I know cops can nab you (in Toronto at least) based on description of clothing alone several days after the incident.

What makes this easier for cops is how distinctive this guy is...and that bikers often wear the same gear day in day out and cover the same routes of travel.

With the new anti-stunting laws you really don't think a cop might set an example or least try to set a precedent?

They still have to prove its him behind the gear. Like the other poster said, they have to ticket the rider, not the bike and not the gear. If a cop looses sight of you for 3 seconds he can't win a fight in court. Its for sure not gonna happen over a picture.

And bikers often end up having very simliar gear to other bikers, as well as bikes. They can't just assume because someone looks like someone else it is infact that person. Imagine the injustices that would take place if that were the case?

That's why it's necessary for them to catch the person in the act.
