If a cop has decided to spoil your evening, fear not! You can
spoil the cop's evening right back at 'em.

WHAT IF A RIDER IN YOUR GROUP GETS STOPPED?

* Stick together: Stay with the rider, support them, and 
observe. Keep a safe distance, _keep_off_the_street_, and
keep calm, so you don't get cited too.
* Give the rider the hotline:

            415 289.6503
  SF Critical Mass Police Abuse Hotline

* Get the information: Get the officer's calling card, with 
name, badge number, and station. Record other details, like
time and place.
* Cooperate: Do what the officer says, if it's legal. An
officer in control of the situation is a happy officer.
* Offer help: Ask what the rider needs.
* Call the hotline with the details.

WHAT IF THEY STOP YOU?

* Stick together: Tell the group you've been stopped.
* "What am I being cited for?" Be polite, but get an answer.
If you're not being cited, are you free to go? If you can't
go, are you being cited?
* Cooperate: Less trouble is better.
* Call 415 289.6503. If we fight the bogus policing
together, *it'll stop*.
