Heads Up For Motorcyclists Heading to Sturgis
I just received an email containing the notification below I am passing this along for your awareness.
This is a heads up on a possible problem. Spread the word, and please contact Frank Ernst if you have problems.NOTICE I have heard information indicating law enforcement may be conducting a planned stop (sting sounds right) on interstate Highway #90 in Martin county. The areas I believe will be affected are interstate highway #90 and entrances and exits from interstate #90 between exit #87 Sherburn and exit #107 Imogene. This includes exit #93 Welcome, exit #99 and #102 Fairmont.The dates I expect this action to take place are from August 1st to August 5th, 2007. This is a time period I would expect heavy volumes of motorists (read motorcyclists) traveling to Sturgis SD.I believe the plan is to stop those that exhibit any suspicious behavior or appearance (like riding a motorcycle) for further investigation. If you plan to make the trip to Sturgis on interstate #90 you may want to avoid these exits. I expect you might encounter unnecessary delays due to these planned activities.
Request for Information Were you stopped by law enforcement while riding a motorcycle on interstate highway #90 in Martin County MN between exit #87 Sherburne and exit #107 Imogene?
If so, I need your help.
Please send me any information you can on the stop.Agency(s) making the stop and officer name(s) badge number(s)?
Date and time of stop?
Duration of stop and how long were you detained, time of stop to time of release?
Reason given for stop?
Action taken at stop and search, photographs, questions, arrests?
Result of stop and citations or other actions?Names and contact information of any witnesses? (this is very important)Please include any other information you feel may be significant.Data is being collected to learn if stops are in violation of MN Supreme Court rulings.

I was also told of some incidents earlier this summer where some friends of mine were on their to see Mt Rushmore. during their trip they got stopped and may I add searched with dogs five times. This is clearly harassment but it is hard to prove when you are an outsider. Go and have fun maybe we'll see you around but remember these warnings. Oh my friends were stopped repeatedly for those dreaded ape hangers.
