Happened in Georgia
- For anyone wondering. Georgia the state not the country
  
  Wait they are invading Georgia?
- For those (like me) wondering what part of Georgia, it was apparently Sandy Springs.
  It's amazing how it can be right next to both Atlanta (proper) and Dunwoody, yet be so much worse.
  
  IDK, cops in the city can be plenty bad too especially when it comes to laws regarding ebikes.
Police officers don't need to know the laws unfortunately. And depending on how much melanin you have determines if you should explain or if youre better off just saying "yes sir can I go".
- A friend cycling in London was stopped for turning right at a "no right turns except cyclists" junction - police didn't even want to go read the sign that they were told to enforce!
- Shouldn't a doctor know about the human body, a plumber about plumbs or the law enforcement about law?
Biking with electricity is the devil!
- Like foozbawl!
Isn't that one of the states where jay walking tickets were high to target certain demographics?
