allright this is what happened......
i was riding to a friends house on the day of my birthday which was a couple days ago. i was chillin and out of knowhere the freakin cops just shine a light on me and pull me over! they got me off my bike and started checking me and harrasing me asking me if i was in the harpys gang.lol at this time i knew why they pulled me over and it was because i had a blue bandana on my face.(it was cold so i had to wear something.lol) they asked me if i robbed the bike and where i bought it and stuff like that.i was laughing the whole time cause i couldnt belive they were stopping me for a misunderstanding. well i ended up getting a misdemeaner ticket for not having a front light and listening to my earphones while riding at night.lol
my birthday ended up being kinda fun.

No front light might've been a likely culprit, and a bandanna of that particular color in place of another or a balaclava might've been the likely criteria running through their heads.
I don't really like cops as much anymore due to different reasons than most would have here.
But, this just goes to show that as long as you keep your "ducks in a row" and hold steady, cops will act as though you aren't there.

Here's some items to put on the XMas list, or on your next trip to the Big 5.

Actually, the right is my tan balaclava and old police jacket that I wear everyday.
The left is part of my future, competitive business model for outsourced law enforcement and military operations,

Right on. We can practice our water boarding and various other interrogation techniques on KrazyPenis at the Toy Ride tomorrow.

I actually prefer the "Gunners Daughter", or "keel-hauling", but that could work too.

to bad it wasnt you getting pulled over on your birthday. I mean come'on, you truly needed to say that about a fellow rider?

He was cold, just cause a few bad apples ruin it for all of us doesnt mean we need our own downing another rider. Yes he should have thought about a white shirt or a face guard from big 5, and im sure he knows that now. But instead of downing him how about some advise? just a thought.

I once got pulled over riding my bike. the cop said i looked suspicious because i was sweating a lot. i guess he wasnt familiar with exercise!

I still don't understand why people ride without lights
Spend a few
bucks and save yourself from an expensive ticket.

or is it because the cops have seen criminals wearing colors...and riding bicycles in the same manner?
in life, it's best NOT to look like something you're not if you don't want to draw attention to yourself...
worst yet, you draw attention from a rival gang...they won't be trying to give you a ticket...they'll be trying to give you a one way ticket to your grave...

On the subject of bandanas, neutral colors or novelty bandanas work exceptionally well also.
I've got my green one, my orange one, my yellow one, and this "Starland Vocal Band" one I found lying around at my stepdads place.

yeah but a honkey hipster with a colored bandana on their face is just a silly hipster to the cops. Same dude with black or brown blood in them is a potential gangsta.
Plain and simple.
Its fucked up for cops to judge people by the clothing, skin color, method of transportation, or adornments. People are supposed to be judged by their actions.
I had a friend get pulled over twice in 10 mins in Beverly Hills for BWB.
And yeah they turned to his lack of lights to "justifiy" their stop after it was clear that they were fucking with an educated person who was just out for a ride.
That shit has never ever ever happened to me on my bike.
Cops generally leave me alone. Even when they catch me cheating on lights, or rolling stops.
So yeah, if you are brown in L.A. (or apt to be fucked with for any reason) keep that whip legal ... cause unfortunately popo likes to find excuses to fuck with people.

I'm not even white myself and the cops have never touched me either.
So, I'm just going to stick with my original idea of keeping the ducks in a row and not attracting attention to yourself.
We've got some shit parts of town up here where the contracted sheriff's department is composed of bumbling knuckleheads for the most-part.
While I see them pull over "odd-balls" on bmx's and cheap mtb's all the time at 1AM, they look at me without a second glance and go back to what they were doing.
This is when I'm wearing the garb posted above as well!!!!!

re: bandanna. neutral colors only!!
sucks about the tickets tho. they are kinda BS citations and they seem to be enforced rather arbitrarily. unlucky for you, they pulled you over because you looked suspicious, and had to tag you with something.

...Unless, of course, you look like an axe murderer, bank robber, or serial killer, and also happen to be one, in which case, it might be good to look like someone else - maybe Pippi Longstockings, or Bernard Madoff... Hmm, ok, maybe Bernard Madoff isn't a good idea after all, but Pippi Longstockings should definitely be safe.
