There is a coordinated effort between Time's Up!, FreeWheels, Glass
Bead Collective Legal Response Team and some fine lawyers to QUICKLY
centralize the information about the 48 summons that were issued Friday
night during critical mass. If you received a summons please email the
relevant information (described below) to bike@transalt.org This
information will be marshaled in order to coordinate media and legal
responses to the conduct of the NYPD last Friday.

If we can collect and centralize the information about the summons that
were issued, it is possible that a significant number of the summons
may be legally inapplicable or facially insufficient as a matter of
law. We may be able to show that the NYPD issued frivolous summons in
an attempt to break up the ride and that they did it with more
aggressiveness than the issued summons would warrant. If you have
any questions email the address below as well.

If possible, please also email a .pdf version of the front and back of
each ticket you were issued. If you cannot, please photocopy the front
and back of your ticket and fax it 212-629-8334 . Please indicate that
the transmission is PRIVILEGED AND CONFIDENTIAL.
[Please keep in mind that we are looking for ONLY the following
information at this time. If you have information about, or evidence
regarding, a ticketing incident, or an arrest, please provide your
contact information to bike@transalt.org , but please do not send
written information, or leave recorded information over the phone.]
