Black Thursday is January 23, 2020 beginning at 8am at the Idaho State Capitol. If you care about your rights as a motorcyclist, make plans to show up at the capitol building and support our efforts to get anti-profiling legislation passed this year.
ABATE of Idaho's objective is to promote motorcyclist rights, freedom of choice, awareness, education, and safety, and
to provide a favorable environment for motorcycle riders in Idaho through community involvement and legislative action.
ABATE of Idaho works as legislative watchdogs to try to ensure that any legislation that affects motorcyclists in Idaho is fair, and that our elected officials are fully informed about the issues that we face in Idaho.
At just $20 a year ($25 for the first year), joining ABATE of Idaho is a great way to add your voice to ABATE's efforts to ensure freedom of the road for all Idaho motorcyclists.
Idaho law enforcement targets motorcyclists daily, based solely on their appearance or the type of motorcycle they ride. Clubs, sport bike riders, or individuals, no one is immune.
If you believe, as we do, that motorcyclists in Idaho should be free from restrictive laws and regulations and not be targeted by law enforcement simply for their appearance or the type of motorcycle they ride, you belong with us.
Do not believe that laws affecting motorcyclists in Idaho are inevitable and unavoidable. We can make a difference, but only if we make ourselves heard by legislators.
The last 30 years have seen the progression of the nanny-state from lawmakers. The only way we can stop this in its tracks as it pertains to motorcyclists is to be involved.
Apathy is the root cause of loss of rights. Be aware of the legislative actions that may impact your life in a profound way. One of the missions of ABATE of Idaho is to track issues at the legislative level that may affect Idaho motorcyclists.
You can help us fulfill that mission by becoming involved. When you learn of something that might affect you, pick up the phone to your local Representative or Senator. Write an email. Write a letter (we do, often. snail mail is not dead).
ABATE of Idaho is not anti-law enforcement. We strongly advocate for anti-profiling legislation to stop the discrimination against motorcyclists simply for what they choose to wear or what they choose to ride.
Claims that profiling is necessary and useful in the effort by law enforcement authorities to fight street crime are patently false.
Such claims by some state and local law enforcement personnel were in large part responsible for the defeat of the latest ABATE-led attempt to pass anti-profiling legislation in Idaho.
David Devereaux (Double D) and Attorney Stephen Stubbs (Bowtie) discuss how to handle a traffic stop, what police can and cannot do, and constitutional law. Applying US Supreme Court cases that are valid in all 50 states, Double D and Bowtie explain how to curb motorcycle profiling and properly defend your rights at a traffic stop.
