LAPD noms Valley Ride

36 of some 50 cyclists were detained because the manager of the CVS at 14735 Ventura Blvd called in asserting shoplifting without a description of the suspect. 11 squad cars arrived and searched everyone without probable cause including cyclists who had not entered the store. Three cyclists were put into squad cars - HANDBONE, Bernie, and u-lye (?), presumably to be arrested, before subsequently being released. The whole incident lasted about an hour.
Stephen Box was instrumental in gaining the release of the three cyclists. He used the little known technique "yelling at the Watch Commander and arguing semantics with him". Only one other rider is known to have mastered this technique - PC. Reportedly though, Alex Thompson may be getting close. When a Santa Monica resident complained about AT's intent to urinate on his tree, and accused him of being a bad representative of "his group" (SMCM), AT berated him for "being to quick to draw stereotypes", "using rhetoric to keep his lawn dry", and "having a small sample size."
Have you seen Franz's sample size? Tiny!

Shit, shit and more shit.
Are we all just getting nabbed, tit-for-tat now?
I get spanked by Long Beach PD with a CMV violation, then the Valley Ride get's it for supposed shop-lifting?
My citation's in a world of it's own, but perhaps the stops should be like some of the other rides and kept out of eye-line-of-sight of the stores.

Um when the hell did this happen? Not tonight because I was there until we hit the first stop, then I had to leave due to a call for a work thing.

It was 2 hours of bull shit. There were 18 cops their wasting both of our time.
Thank goodness Fuzz, Sheli and Yetiman did not get caught up in the mess. Thank you guys for calling the right people for help, as well as documenting it with photos and video.

Those of you who were up against the wall because of the cops:
Make sure you write down what you recall of the night (as suggested by AT).
It is a good idea to write it while it's fresh in the mind so if needed, you can refer to it for evidence.
Also, after youve done that re-read it a few days later to make sure you included everything you remembered.
