We've gotten stupid with our laws!
We need to vote or throw these kneejerk knuckleheads out of office and get a new crop
I agree that sport bikes are becoming a problem, and that they are thier own worse enemy, but this little piece of legislation sets a terrible precedent.
1st, the term "shall" removes all discretion from the officer. It also allows the officer to blame his/her unreasonable actions on the state
And where did this arbitrary "30" come from? What makes it so much more deadly than 25 or 28?
If this legislation is allowed to pass and enter statute, it's only a matter of time before you and I feel the pinch of big brother in the drivers seat.
This is just where other bad legislation came from.
And yes, with the threat of jail, impoundment and siezure, there will be more unnecessary pursuits for "traffic" offenses which unduly endanger the public
Of course, they'll now be pursuing for "criminal" charges, which will make it ok
