Description: Where there are bikes, there’s no shortage of police. Worse yet, regardless of why you’re stopped, you could be illegally searched. That’s what happened to me when my Harley was confiscated in 1979 for more than two years. These are conservative times. Know your rights to protect your freedoms.

Officer, please understand: I have the right to have an attorney present if you want to question me or conduct any search of my body or personal effects. I am not giving my consent to any type of search.

If I am under arrest, I wish to invoke and exercise my Miranda Rights. I want to speak with an attorney now. I do not want my personal property impounded, nor do I consent to any impoundment. I request the opportunity to secure my personal effects. If I am not under arrest, please tell me immediately so that I may leave.
