Yup. That one worked perfectly in Warsaw Ghetto too (skirting carefully around Godwin's Law).
And I to my motorcycle parked like the soul of the junkyard. Restored, a bicycle fleshed with power, and tore off. Up Highway 106 continually drunk on the wind in my mouth. Wringing the handlebar for speed, wild to be wreckage forever.

A cop will not know you are riding legally until he asks you to stop...

Nor does he know if I am acting legally in my own home until he enters it..........random home inspections are all good too then?A cop will not know you are riding legally until he asks you to stop...

So why not be honest and call it a "Campaign Targeting Legal Compliance" ?A cop will not know you are riding legally until he asks you to stop...

Because they can as a condition of being on the road, they can stop you any time for any or no reason. They have the power, but isn't that why it is called an 'abuse of power'?
It is similar to the good old USSR system. No one is perfect so everyone will do something wrong sometime, it is just a matter of using it to suppress them and you can rely on some of their number being helpful with little homilies like the infamous "if you are doing nothign wrong ..."

Because bikers are (in general) fuckin easy to wind up. ?
One hell of a ride.
Why *should* you - is a different answer to why *are* you.
You 'should' be allowed to continue unhindered.
The 'are' is partly because:
- Said cops are sick of having to scrape what's left off the tarmac and inform next of kin. (Ask them - they'll tell you). They believe it's a proactive approach.
- Further up the chain, there have been too many 'It's cheaper to ride unregistered than pay my ACC' rants.
- So many complain online about what other people wear.

Best Frenemy you could have!
meh... it's not the first campaign, won't be the last. I've clocked up 50+k in the last year odd, not been stopped or spoken to once during that time about some campaign.
I'm starting to wonder if they really exist...
Suffers from peterpan syndrome
I love getting waved down
No problems getting stopped for a "safety check"...as long as the cop in question knows something! about bikes & gear etc (other wise its bloody pointless int it)
...I also hope they are giving away shiny vests instead of stupid pens etc with winter coming

More revenue gathering thinly disguised as a 'safety campaign'
