Cody Wyoming Goes to Hells Angels - Day 2

Filed under: Korea — Jeff in Korea at 3:27 am on Saturday, July 29, 2006

Day 2 of the Hells Angels World Run in Cody, Wyoming. Let’s check in with this little town and see what problems are being caused and who is causing it.

Talk in Cody doesn’t seem to be about the Angels. Who are they talking about? Law Enforcement.

“talk here this week hasn’t focused much on the Hells Angels, but rather on the scores of police officers their presence brought, and the number of tickets those imports have handed to cars with County 11 license plates.”

So, what are the cops doing that is annyone everyone?

citations and stops for going 3 mph over, 3 mph under, driving with a cracked window and more.

*********

One of the Nite Rodeo cowboys got pulled over for going 3 mph under the limit. Another, Tuckness said, received a ticket for driving a Missouri-plated vehicle while working in the state of Wyoming.

How bad of a job are the law enforcement officers doing? Apparently, it is so bad that the townspeople are begging the city to make the police go away.

the announcement from the police spokesman said the law enforcement presence, at the request of numerous citizens’ comments, would drop 50 percent.

Nice going… ticket locals and tourists. That will make everyone happy and want to come back to town.

Note that apparently NO ONE is complaining about the Angels and none of the Angels have been arrested for doing anything.

I’ll save all the anti-law enforcement spiels I’ve got stored up in my head, and leave you with Bill Burroughs:

“Most of the trouble in this world has been caused by folks who can’t mind their own business, because they have no business of their own to mind, any more than a smallpox virus has.”

I’m also gonna have to pine along with Sonny Barger and lament the days when clocking an officer of the law was just a misdemeanor.
