Re: Motorcycle Lighting Question for LEO
That's my whole point. Anyone can be stopped for anything using the flimsy excuse of having some stupid light on their bike which not even the DPS can tell for certain whether or not it is illegal. Some people think that all people who ride motorcycles are an undersirable group.gemini wrote:Although I don't know RPBrown personally, I don't have reason to believe that he is a member of any undersirable groups. I guess they could also be used to provide probable cause to hassle anyone that has long hair, walks with a limp, isn't the correct skin color, is overweight, is lawfully carrying under MPA or CHL, has a NRA patch on their vest, etc etc etc. maybe the AMA needs to take this up with gov'ment. No, they haven't really done anything to help the sport in years.WildBill wrote:It seems like some of these laws or non-laws could be used to curtail the activities of and/or provide probable cause to stop members of certain undesirable groups.RPBrown wrote:Although not specifically spelled out as illegal by state law, some cities may have adopted specific ordanances against them.
I do have them on my bike but only use them when parked. Got stopped a while back, no ticket just a warning.

That is a very interesting answer to the question.Keith B wrote:Here is a FAQ from the DPS that tries to address the issue but doesn't clarify the legality. See question 10 http://www.txdps.state.tx.us/msb/msbfaqs.htm" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;
