As a motorcyclist for 26 years I have learned if you don't dress or act like a motorcycle club thug you won't get treated as one when you are pulled over. And I have been pulled over on the bike over the 26 years. There is a attitude out there that we're special and everyone should conform to our opinions or choices related to behavior. We need to wake up. If you don't want to be profiled don't act like it.
It's all about respect. If you treat them with your chosen level of respect when you are pulled over they will respond in kind. Your actions are your choice and effect the choices of others make in responding to you. Legislation is never a successful way to control behavior, only you can do that with yours.
