It sucks you were messed with. For what it's worth, I have a lot of family members who are cops, sheriffs, CHP, etc. (including one of my older brothers). My brother told me, he can find any reason to pull you over and/or search your car (or in this case, bike). And no, he's not a 22 year old rookie! I used to get pulled over quite a bit (when I owned a car), and the cops always had some bull$hit excuse they thought was valid. Funny thing was, they always let me go, because they didn't have anything on me. F THE COPPERS!
