Motorcycle only checkpoints outrages national lawmakers | Clutch and Chrome
I've been following this whole thing pretty closely since last summer. I had to stop at a Long Island checkpoint and although I wasn't ticketed I felt pretty violated by the whole thing. I've been pretty ticked off about it ever since.
Georgia is now putting these checkpoints in place for a heads up to GA riders.. read this article.
The good news is there is opposition now at a federal level to this practice and also a lawsuit pending in New York.
For NY riders you can join a twitter feed and get notified of where checkponts exist, reported by other riders. Instructions for signing up are here: NYMSTF - Checkpoint Alerts
