Arrested on a bike? Let us know!

=v= TIME'S UP! is interested in getting together folks who were
arrested at Critical Mass or the Bike Blocs, plus anyone who was
arrested while on a bike: food distributors, legal observers,
medics, or just anyone caught in the excess of police activity
over the last few days. (We've heard rumors of people being
not cited but ARRESTED for rolling through red lights.)

=v= We do not expect or want you to give us incriminating info
that's best discussed only with your lawyer. We have pulled
together a form to help us keep track of people, so you can
download the PDF he

or stop by 49 East Houston to fill it out. We will have more
information here on the TIME'S UP! website soon:

Perfectly legal.

=v= Not according to the equal protection clause of the
14th Amendment. Police can certainly make arrests, but
they must do so to everyone, including those on foot and
in driving cars. Not just bicyclists who look like they
might be protesters.

Perfectly legal.

If you have ID and no outstanding warrants, you should not be arrested.

In a traffic stop with no huge protest going on, you are
correct. In the mass arrest situations facing the NYPD the last few
days, nope. Plasticuffs.

They took the risk, and the leaders wanted the get arrested, that is why
they are asking for dirt now, to make political poop out of it. Keep them in
Jail, and give them a big fine too.

We were talking about the mass arrests of protesting cyclists.
I doubt that any of them got uniform traffic tickets at the scene, so
they got their "equal protection". The tactic used is to take everyone
into custody and sort it out when things calm down and police are
available in enough numbers to process the arrests.
Remember that a UTT is always only a summons or an invitation
to court, and is in lieu of arrest. If the officer has information
leading him or her to believe the violator will not show up in court,
he has to make an arrest. No ID, for example, which is common in
protest arrests.

You make it sound as if they had no control over the number of arrests, as
if they were innocent victims of some preordained arrest schedule, almost as
if they *were ordered* to make each and every arrest!

nope. Plasticuffs.
Good day. Or as John Kerry would say, bonjour.

That's right: international actions require international diplomacy. We
