Jan MacKay, a candidate for Senate in NC State Senate District 15, Wake County, is a freedom fighter for motorcycle rights. Jan was issued a helmet ticket three months prior to announcing her candidacy for the Senate. Her next scheduled court appearance is on July 29, 2008 at Wake County District Court, in downtown Raleigh, on the 5th floor.
“If law enforcement suspects a helmet does not comply with the standard, rather than go after the manufacturer, they go after the consumer! This establishes a dangerous precedent, and should be of concern to every motorist and consumer. Imagine if they went after consumers to comply with all the hundreds of motor vehicle equipment items controlled by FMVSS. Then, imagine if the FDA did this! It would take responsibility from the drug manufacturers, putting a burden of compliance on anyone who legally uses prescription drugs.”
“This is an issue of basic citizens rights to know, with certainty, what is lawful and what is not lawful.”
I do not want a dismissal. I want this to be adjudicated by a fair trial with concern for the Constitution.”
