Mayoral Prostitution with LOUD Biker Cult[ure] at “Bike Week” – Daytona, FL

During my 31-year tenure with the Houston PD, I served the citizens of Houston as a Motorcycle Patrol Officer, Radio Patrol Officer and in Air Support.

During my enforcement years, I cited, incarcerated, untold numbers of “men” who operated illegally LOUD motorcycles, auto’s, trucks, on our public roadways and these, with intent and some in ignorance, audibly abused the children, the elderly, the handicapped, the families, living and seeking a good daily quality of life, those who lived and worked in my areas of responsibility.

Furthermore, I’ve never understood why and how city leaders, mayors, of some of our largest municipalities in the United States e.g., Daytona, FL are permitted to whore themselves for tax revenue, graft, money, with the LOUD Biker Cult[ure] via illegal biker rallies; this, while the citizens of these municipalities are audibly assaulted day and night with illegal vehicular NOISE…these same citizens are the people, the families, these “mayors” took an oath to protect and serve.

Florida’s Motor Vehicle Nose Law,

316.293 Motor vehicle noise.—

(5) NOISE ABATEMENT EQUIPMENT MODIFICATIONS.—

(a) No person shall modify the exhaust system of a motor vehicle or any other noise-abatement device of a motor vehicle operated or to be operated upon the highways of this state in such a manner that the noise emitted by the motor vehicle is above that emitted by the vehicle as originally manufactured.

(b) No person shall operate a motor vehicle upon the highways of the state with an exhaust system or noise-abatement device so modified.

I’ve never understood why a man or woman would illegally modify a motor vehicle to emit illegal noise emissions in multiples (algorithmically) the legal, safe, total, noise emissions of 80dB(A) and do so absent care or concern.

To this very day, I remain baffled by those who ride and drive LOUD and think their behavior is somehow cool coupled with bravado when in reality, these are selfish bullies who abuse the innocent among us; essentially, domestic terrorists.

I’ve owned some 30-motorcycles since age 12 and I’ve accumulated hundreds-of-thousands-of-miles on those motorcycles, professionally and for pleasure. Why do far too many “men” find riding LOUD to be acceptable when Federal and State laws prohibit same specifically for the safety and quality of life of the American citizen?
