checkpoint in Topock

I don't have a problem with the man (meaning person) himself it's the badge that makes his head swell I don't care for. I was stopped for registration on my harley by a state trooper the other day. I knew I wasn't doing anything wrong so when I pulled over I threw up my hands in my best Hells Angels style and asked wtf did I do? He was still behind me and I hadn't turned to look at him. He said license and registration please. I said bullshit you're just profiling bikers. Well he asked me to turn aropund and I did. He said I'm profiling? The dude was black!! Funny as hell and I started laughing. and he did too. Come to find out the wife had given me my sticker and registration but being the mental giant that I am I put it on my truck tag and the reg in the glove box! I got a warning and we bullshitted about his bike and mine for 15-20 minutes before I rode off. He could have been a jerk but he wasn't. Now, I'm not getting into my experiences with fish cops.

He had a B-1 and the on board system from what he stated in his second post which I think makes him legal right?

Now your real trouble starts trying to get a new tag for your plate from the DMV. Those genius there will just assume your trying to scam another tag. Good Luck!!

Naw, due to the heat I was able to peel it off and put it on the bike. But you're correct, it could have gotten ugly if I had to go there!

My only complaint was beaching my boat. When I jumped out of the boat I was stepping on a bunch of rocks! Not too good for the bottom of the boat. Anyway, I agree with the checkpoint and support everything that the officers were doing.

About 3-4 years ago, my dad went through a check point between AVI & Bullhead in his flat bottom. There was a lot of rocks at this check point too! So instead of taking him to shore with every one else they tied up next too him, scratching the paint all up! After the damage was done, I told him we should go back to report the damage to them, which we did. They gave us a form to fill out & told him to get a couple estimates. About 4-6 weeks later the sent him a check for $950.00. Funny thing though when we came back the tried to give him the oui check again. Lucky for us he dosn't drink
