This site aims to document the NYPD's senseless ticketing at Critical Mass rides in New York and to demonstrate to the general public and the press the large number of tickets handed out and, ultimately, dismissed in court.

Tell us about ALL of the tickets you have received at a Critical Mass after 2004's Republican National Convention!

Since the 2004 RNC, the NYPD has spent $1.2 million dollars harassing Critical Mass riders in New York City. In 2005 When the police department's attempts to arrest cyclists based upon a non-existent "parade" rule were overturned in court, it turned to senseless, and often illegal, mass ticketing. (Many of the tickets issued have been tossed out by judges all over the city.) Although the NYPD's tactics are repeatedly found unconstitutional, unlawful, or just plain wrong, officers continue to issue numerous tickets at every ride. The current tactics have been described as "systematic" harassment; it is not the ticket itself but the aggravation of the ticketing and the need to fight the ticket that is the harassment.

CMTickets is a chance for all of us to get together and let the world see the injustice of these attacks on cyclists. You do not need an account to use this site but it is encouraged so that we can all keep in touch.

We promise to use this information as effectively as possible to track this outrageous ticketing and put an end to the NYPD's harrassment of cyclists in New York City!
