ABATE of South Carolina is Biker Rights.
A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments
ABATE of South Carolina, Inc. is the motorcyclists' rights organization of South Carolina. Our members brought freedom of choice to South Carolina bikers in June of 1980; ABATE amended South Carolina's mandatory motorcycle helmet law to allow adult freedom of choice. ABATE stands for A Brotherhood Against Totalitarian Enactments. Our philosophy is to defend liberty; while we do not oppose safety devices we oppose laws that mandate the usage of devices.
Court and the McGrath Law firm.
The Court was very engaged and had many questions for the Myrtle Beach folks as to what their intent was with the helmet and other ordinances and quite frankly they admitted they just wanted bikers and the rallies to go away! Many of the Justices were rather comical about the ham handed efforts of the City to halt the rallies and in their attempt to argue unsound judgment only made their case more laughable to those in attendance. While we all expect the court to take due time to decide the merits of the case i would be surprised with any decision that doesn't land 100% in favor of Freedom! Myrtle Beach would have better served itself and its citizens if they had enforced existing laws and ordnances and put forth some honest effort to work with the biker community! More to follow! don
