Among the many #Bicycling #Monterey projects that most people are unaware of is the first example under Project #4, BICYCLING #EQUITY EFFORTS (scroll down our Summary of Projects page: https://bikemonterey.org/about/financial-donations/donations-some-ways-your-money-can-help).

Last week another #teen phoned us to make use of that project, and today yet another teen called in the same situation. We're happy to help. We salute these teens for not wasting their (or their family's) money on a #TrafficFine. Instead, these #youth are "making lemonade out of lemons."

When #LawEnforcement officers deem a #citation appropriate, we appreciate #judges who offer an alternative to a #fine—such as the one we provide (see Project #4).

In case you're wondering: We appreciate #police officers who are into education instead of citation whenever appropriate. And we've done reach out https://bikemonterey.org/constables-of-the-peace-cops-on-bikes.html to #PoliceDepartments over the past 14 years to help more #MontereyCounty, and other, #cops be better prepared to help educate people who #bike.

ESPECIALLY.

.... Do _NOT_ go hand in hand since the 2010's, obvs. by example of past presser events and coverage.

As a #NewsDirector I would advise all #TechReporters & #Reporters in general to treat _everything_ that their #PROffice has to say as _bullshit_ UNTIL proven otherwise.

Data. Data. Data.

This leads to a successful story imo.

When people START talking about the #PoliceDepartments and #IntelligenceAgencies & #PrivateInvestigators & #Lawyers in the room, only _then_, when looked at through the lens of #WhitelistedCrimePrograms that the above engage in ON THIS PLATFORM like the #CounterIntelligence part THEN things START to make sense a bit more post #TotalInformationAwareness #TIA wise. Init?

I will cite one program #ChurchCommittee finding from 1975 and challenge a revisit of these hearings the in the 2020's. Same Exec Summary just add some more names basically. 🧐
