I gotta rookie cop in my town that swears my frictionDrive is illegal everytime i pass him he pulls me over and we argue for about 30mins until i get him to read the law and everytime he tells me im gonna find something wrong with this..Its like go bust someone dealin dope or stealing ya know im just trying to get to work. Im guessing he never learned how to ride a bike or something cause he's gotta hot spot for motorized bikes!@
 
I have a friend who is a cop in my city, and luckily he represents the other end of the spectrum. They are just people, and as we all know- people come in all shapes, sizes, and degrees of intelligence. Its unfortunate that the bad ones give cops a bad rep as a whole.

He is probably Zimmerman's Cousin
 
If you're actually pulling up your local statutes and showing them to him, you can file a harassment complaint against the officer. My advice to you have the statues to show to his supervisor when filing the complaint. It would be in your best interest to be a 100% in compliance when you show them your bike.

Florida is really getting tough on motorized bicycles. You can either build electric or meet the requirements of a moped. (50 cc or less, no manual clutching, engine's drive system can't shift gears, must have peddles). You can lookup Florida's moped laws and it'll tell you these things.

Hey Matman -

Control yourself. Some police officers may be difficult to get along with; most are lenient towards our hobby. This forum recgonizes that and most of us do what is necessary to not rile them, even if some of us are not compliant with the law. I have yet to have problems with any law enforcement officer. And many have seen me riding on the road.

Name calling and insults to anyone are improper and not tolerated in this forum. Take that elsewhere. Comments about bicycle building and riding are welcomed topics.
