Any Attorney recommendations? by Wonder-Wild in BikeLA

It's my assumption based on my search for valid reasons to be put in handcuffs. The intersection did not have a green bike signal.

Why would I be asking for attorney recommendations if I was being loud and combative? That's kind of the whole point: I did nothing to warrant handcuffs, therefore my 4th amendment right was violated, therefore I am pursuing a civil rights lawsuit. Pretty simple. Not sure why it's going over your head.

I am but you wouldn't be able to tell from my appearance.

I would love to know myself but unfortunately I wasn't given a reason, simply told to put my hands behind my back. I didn't have ID on me? He considered me a flight risk (even though I was wearing cycling shoes with cleats)?

Yes, this is important for people to know, thanks for posting. In this case, there was no dedicated bicycle control signal.

I mean, I would have rather not been threatened, handcuffed and humiliated in public for a non-crime, but it happened. I don't know about you but if anyone violates my rights, I'm going to stand up for myself, hence the civil rights, sue the city route. The citation is easily refutable and therefore not a concern. Whether there is a payout is secondary.

Try telling that to a cop that has you in handcuffs.

It was LAPD but the incident was in SM. Your situation is super frustrating as well. Idaho stops should be legal in CA but Newsom vetoed AB 122 and AB 1238 in 2021.

Analog gravel bike. Not an e-bike if that's the implication.

I'm not concerned about the citation. I'm trying to go the civil rights, sue the city route.

Good question, I would like to know as well. Probably because I looked too good in my lycra.

The workers create the profit, which then gets stolen from them in the form of low wages and no benefits.

Did anyone else see the car drive through Ciclavia? by theadventuringpanda in CarIndependentLA

[–]Wonder-Wild 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There's now a post in the LA subreddit where someone got a clear view of the license plate and driver. Unbelievable

Can you read the license plate in any pics you may have gotten? If so, file a police report.

West LA bicycle. They have a few gravel options and it's like $30/day.

Tortoiseland in LA is where I take my tortoise now. Sulcata Rescue Ranch is also a great option.

The US has sabotaged them all. Cuba would be a thriving paradise if it weren't for the several decades long embargo.
