Description

I was riding in the back of a group of bikers with my video camera on and aimed at the crowd of scooter cops-- about fifteen of them-- tailing us. When I was pulled over, six or seven cops on motorbikes stopped to supervise the issuing of a ticket for not having a flashing light on my bike. I made sure to thank the ticketing officer for not punching me.
