This is How a Cop Tries to Pull Over 50 Bikers at the Same Time

Quite humorous footage of a single cop car trying to halt the progress of around fifty motorcycles on a bridge. The hapless cop has obviously had instructions to curtail any possible misbehavior by the bike troop and zig zags his motor across the highway obstructing the progress of the bikes. As the

You shoot a couple of the leaders and the others will stop. Or provide further target opportunities. ;-)

I'll ask the question, WHY does he need to pull more than 50 bikes over? Certainly not all of them have committed traffic violations. Just because they are in a "pack" doesn't give LE the authority to impede the progress of all of them. Does it? FKN BS!

Hard to tell what's going on in this video. I had a cop do this one evening, swaying across all lanes holding traffic to about 30mph. I was miffed, until we rounded a curve to find a tractor trailer overturned.

Paul Harvey always provided to rest of the story.

Not sure what the officer's reasoning was behind this......not the best technique to use. You should never put the public at risk needlessly. If you run into a pack of bikers wearing procams, they are probably looking to make themselves famous on YouTube by pulling a cool stunt, driving crazy, our luring an unsuspecting police officer into doing something nutty. If you have a traffic violation, address it with that particular offender. Otherwise, you are creating a safety hazard and impeding the flow of traffic. Cops should be part of the solution, not the problem! !

First call for back-up and setting up a road block a couple miles ahead Sgt Kelli Mays. Then stay as calm as possible and serve and protect whoever needs help while you monitor the situation.
Plan B place clear warnings and then hand a brightly colored thick metal chain across the full length of the roadway at 3 feet above the ground. :-)

I did law enforcement for over 20 years and we were trained and told not to pull over more than vehicle at a time. It is to dangerous and stupid to try and do more than one.

First off they're crotch rocket riders, not bikers! :)
