hey john, do you know if that 30 ft rule applies to the media as well? I'm not sure what the regulations are regarding the media and filming a police officer...
For those who may not know what I'm talking about, you as a citizen are allowed to film a police officer during the course of their duty as long as you are 30 ft away from them and not interfering with the investigation. The problem is OPD and other police depts like to blur that line and often threaten you with arrest for no reason...
Yabai Bicycle Club was founded in 2007 in Orlando, Florida by bicycle enthusiasts and dumpster divers associated with Orlando Food not Bombs. We ride fridays to our favorite dumpsters to recover materials for bicycle monstrosities - we emphasize the use of freaky, recovered/homemade bikes for this ride, but all bikes are welcome. We build on mondays.
All decisions about the group and what we do are made by consensus, and we are committed to a horizontal/non-heirarchical group formation. We don't accept "alternative" fuels to be a solution to climate crisis, nor alternative to any other corporatized post-grassroots movement. We hold that bicycles, particularly, those that would otherwise fill landfills, are a real solution to the issues of overconsumption that created the environmental crises today. "Alternative," "conscious," etc. consumption will never solve consumption, only "hopenotize" those concerned OUT of action against the source of their misery.
We hold events to benefit grassroots movements in our communities, and represent at Orlando Critical Mass.
Membership to this group is based upon invitation, new members must be down with our goals and views and complete an initiation (you'll see what it is...).
