Nothing while I was there (up on top); they seemed more curious than anything else; I got the feeling they mainly didn't want any trouble or to have to work too hard. They asked Big Bike Dan to turn down a bit. One cop said, "I hope they don't smash anything up" and another one said, "We heard there were a bunch of bikers on La Brea and we thought they meant motorcyclists!". The crowd was beginning to thin already and we left shortly thereafter, probably around midnight.

From atop the pier I saw several officers move through the assembly down at sand level and witnessed one unfortunate rider get escorted off after an aluminum container was confiscated from him. Other than that the officers were mostly just observing. Mostly.

Fun ride back to Griffith Park. Got into a Drag Race in West Hollywood. Raced Two Ferraris on Santa Monica from Doheny to La Cienega (smoked 'em). 43 year old legs and a 25 year old Raleigh beat two brand new Italians.

The cops were being kind of rude. they looked angry and confused about what was going on.... Someone started cutting down a banner ad on the pier which of course upset them because it was a SMPD recruitment ad.... thanks to the person(s) who put is back up... other than that there wasnt much that could be done. we were lawful in riding our bicycles.

The SMPD cop that ran through the crowd to get his petty MIP (Minor In Posession) "bust" was pretty comical. Looking at him, one might have thought he was Batman in hot pursuit of The Joker. High Dramadey at its finest.
