Title: Man Arrested Because Riding a Bike Without a Bell On It Is Illegal in a Police State

Seaside Heights, NJ — A fairly worrisome video has been shared with the Free Thought Project this week purporting to show a man being arrested after police stopped him for riding a bike without a bell.

The video, posted to Facebook by user A Dot Norwood, shows officers from the Seaside Heights police department temporarily detaining a man who was riding his bike.

In the first brief video, the officers appear to stop the man and then let him go. However, in the second video, we see them stopping him again.

According to Norwood and the man being arrested, police stopped him for riding his bike without a bell on it. As the video shows, however, police quickly escalated charges as the man became agitated after he was stopped for such a ridiculous reason.

Within just a few seconds, the police officers are telling the man that he will be arrested for obstruction of justice because he is upset that he is currently facing harassment for lack of a bell on his bike.

“Under arrest for what?” the man asks.

To which the police reply, “obstruction.”

“Obstruction of what?” the man asks, “You’re telling me I need a bell on my bike.”

“That’s illegal,” says the officer. Moments later, police move in and place the man in handcuffs

“You see this, right?” the man asks Norwood. “They’re arresting me for not having a bell on my bike.”

2013 New Jersey Revised Statutes
Title 39 – MOTOR VEHICLES AND TRAFFIC REGULATION
Section 39:4-11 – Audible signal

Universal Citation: NJ Rev Stat § 39:4-11 (2013)

39:4-11. Audible signal
No person shall operate a bicycle unless it is equipped with a bell or other device capable of giving a signal audible for a distance of at least one hundred feet, except that a bicycle shall not be equipped with nor shall any person use upon a bicycle any siren or whistle.

After police get the man in handcuffs, the onlookers attempt to keep filming before they become worried that they too will be arrested.

The Free Thought Project reached out to the Seaside Heights police department who told us to contact the records department. As we had no name of the man being arrested, we were unable to seek out the exact charges he is facing.

If the man riding a bike committed an actual crime in which there was an actual victim, he most definitely deserved to be arrested. However, it appears from the video that the officers indeed stopped him for not having a bell on his bike and the resultant charges, if any, likely stemmed from the original stop.

As TFTP has reported on numerous occasions, riding a bike in a police state can be a dangerous act. In some instances, we’ve reported on individuals who’ve been mauled, nearly to death, by a police K9 for lacking a simple bike light. Also, last month, TFTP reported on a child who was run over by a police officer because, he too, lacked a light on his bicycle.

one hundred feet

No ways the dinky thumb triggered bells sold in bike shops are audible at 100 feet.

And it doesn't matter how loud it is when the idiots walking their dogs have earbuds shoved in their wherever along with their head.

Their dogs can hear though...

..and the dogs are usually smarter than the owner anyhow.

Can they fill their own bowl with food?

Can they pick up their shit in the yard?

Have they allowed the human species to domesticate them, breed them, register them... WEAKEN their species from what they were? Yeah... a pack of fuckin Einstein’s

Your comment is ignorant... PETA assholes say such fucking foolishness. And PETA assholes are all libtards... they agree with what we’ve done to the dog species for our own self important needs, being done by government to the sheeple. DEPENDENT, like those Mensa K9’s you speak of.

Animals are BELOW humans on the food chain... and only libtards equate them anywhere near a human.

One of the great religions of the world: Hinduism agrees. All life is sacred.

Ensuring your survivability as a species, should be your number one goal. Not homo activity, over sensitivity or treating lower forms of “life” on the food chain as equals.

We aren’t all equal. We never were.

Agreed. As for suitability, we shall have another day to laff at each other.
