Stop "Operation Motus" targeting motorcyclists

The issue

Since the 16th of May the SOLO division of Victoria Police have started enacting "Operation Motus".

Since then we've seen a mix of positive and negative motorcycle stops that (for the majority) have been described by the individual officers as "random licence checks" which are technically unlawful. 

It's worth sending a message to Victoria Police that the motorcycle community isn't enjoying being discriminated against however valid the intentions of Operation Motus may be.

This petition seeks to draw attention to the issue, please vote if you believe that the execution (at least) of Operation Motus is unjustified and / or unlawful.

If we're lucky Victoria Police might re-think the way they're implementing this operation.
