In the section of the presentation that covered proper eye protection, it states; “For enforcement purposes, eyewear that meets this newly adopted ANSI standard will have “Z87” on the frames and lenses.” State law reads as follows: “Eye protection [(a)] A motorcyclist may use any eye protection device that has been manufactured in conformity with the American National Standard Institute’s Z87.1 standard “Occupational and Educational Personnel Eye and Face Protection Devices.” A motorcyclist may not operate a motorcycle unless he or she is wearing such eye protection.” [2]
We remind all motorcyclists that if any law enforcement personal asks to inspect your eye protection, as with the helmet, you request a search warrant.
New York Freedom Riders insist that New York State Law Enforcement cease illegally pulling over motorcyclists just to enforce eye protection regulations that they know are not in accordance with state law. Such actions are, in-and-of themselves, illegal and should be prosecuted to the full extent of the law.
