much as I hate to say it, I think alpha fity two would be much more interested in supporting the police state than me, I actually have no interest in that; I'm more of a free speech kinda guy who doesn't really believe in the seven words you can't say on BikeForums.net...

that would be sooo boring, and besides, extreme unfounded speculation is a cornerstone of A&S

People used to make fun of eastern europeans for doing the same stuff. My guess is part of it is that they stop people on bike paths randomly just to make their presence known. They cannot just stop people they think are criminal as they will be accused of racial/class profiling. So harassing an old white guy and publicizing it is good policy.

Spying activity by the Maryland State Police actually went quite a bit deeper than that. For clarification, here is the story quoted in the blog:
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...301993_pf.html
https://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn...301993_pf.html
I wonder if they monitor me, for not putting up with the garbage from motorists. Like today, I was yelled at from a passing car.
Instead of continuing on to my original destination, I followed the car for several miles. Until I caught up with them, at a traffic light.
I told them, I didn't like being yelled at and, that I had just as much of a right to be on the road, as they do. I didn't yell at them.
After that, I continued on to my original destination.
