Cops are not stupid, generally. Around here, in Montgomery Co. MD at least,
they have to have a college education.
They look for one thing...the DOT sticker on the back of the helmet...though
I've yet to hear of anyone in the DC area getting a ticket for wearing a non
compliant helmet. I figure the cops figure that if a person is so stupid as
to wear that kind of helmet they get what they deserve, eventually. Next
time I talk to a cop and I know a few, from the motorcycle safety program,
I'm going to ask about the situation.
