divemaster5734 Posted June 2, 2015 Report Share Posted June 2, 2015 If this article is true it is troubling to say the least. I personally own 6 bikes. From sport, sport touring, dual sport, to dirt and track. I'm definitely a motorcycle addict, and proud of it. So now, because I play on race tracks, take spirited twisty runs, or explore the Pacific Northwest wild lands with a gps on a motor bike, I can be presented to a potential employers as an FBI listed "gang" member? Wonder which one they put me in, harley gangs only tolerate my kind because I am on two wheels, but would never put up with me "hanging". Am too sane to ride with those sporty clubs, only wheelies jumps and slides are confined to track or outlands, at least most of those riders are not going to do something stupid and get me hurt. So it must be the "can't drive 55" club...or maybe the "stuff the cage" club... "wind in your face" club? It doesn't really matter, for the FBI to do this says they are expecting me to do something illegal beyond some traffic infraction. And that's just downright prejudiced.................. JMHO...DM FBI Admits All Registered Motorcycle Owners Are On Classified Gang List Rich-Joseph Facun / AP Images for Harley Davidson MSNBC correspondent Jeremy Lancaster sat down with government official Darrin Cornia to discuss recent rumors that have been in circulation in regard to registered motorcycle owners being placed on a classified FBI gang list. Darrin Cornia who currently holds a position within the National Security Branch of the government agreed to complete transparency prior to the interview with MSNBC’s Jeremy Lancaster and did remain direct and seemingly forthright throughout his conversation with Lancaster. After a few moments of introduction, Lancaster bluntly asked the following question,” Mr. Cornia, if I were to make the statement, all registered motorcycle owners are currently showing on a classified FBI gang list, would the statement be true or false? Cornia responded by saying, “That would be a true statement, the FBI has been collecting and compiling Department of Motor Vehicles and Drivers License Division records for the purpose of adding those that own motorcycles to a classified gang list since 1994. Lancaster asked Cornia to explain the reasoning behind the list which seems inappropriately broad, to Cornia answered the question with the following statement, “It’s nothing more than collecting and utilizing data. We may not like to admit it, but the truth of the matter is that those that own and operate motorcycles are 67% more likely to be involved in illegal or criminal activity than those that do not own or operate a motorcycle.” The National Security Official went on to explain, “It’s the same as firearms, if local P.D or Highway Patrol were to pull someone over that is a registered firearm owner, that officer has the right to know this information going into the interaction, the same could be said about a local P.D or Highway Patrol Officer that pulled over a registered motorcycle owner, the situations are honestly interchangeable in the eyes of National and Homeland Security. MSNBC correspondent Jeremy Lancaster asked Cornia if placing citizens on a gang list just because they are registered motorcycle owners is considered as profiling, Cornia responded to the question by saying, “as a nation do we complain when we add someone that has a Crips or Bloods tattoo to a gang list even though the individual swears up and down that they don’t have gang affiliation? Again these are 2 situations that are interchangeable, we can’t pick and choose.” Lancaster asked how individuals can find out if they are on this classified gang list to which Cornia responded, “Did you register a motorcycle or obtain a Class M license anytime between the year 1994 and 2015? If so, than you are on the list.” The MSNBC correspondent concluded the interview by asking Cornia, “aside from potential profiling from law enforcement, are there potentially any additional consequences of being on this gang list?” Cornia responded by saying, “the purpose of the list is to collect and utilize data, not to create consequences. Aside from notifying law enforcement that you are a registered motorcycle owner or operator, it can show up to potential employers on select background checks.” 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Artitech Posted June 3, 2015 Report Share Posted June 3, 2015 Yep, They ( bandito's ) will be mad! They have had couple of good ole fashion shoot outs here in Texas! I only know, what I read in the paper about it. According to paper, they have kept the undertaker busy! They think they own the rocker, I think those patches those MC put on their vest, are one of the things that light the fuse for major problems! My advice, keep your eyes & ears on alert if a MC comes to a place your at! It could save your life! JMHO I don't ride motor bikes because I have wrecked 3 times! 3rd time was a charm! No more scooters! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
