(WPRI) — Investigators raided two Hells Angels motorcycle clubhouses in Westport on Thursday, Target 12 has learned. Multiple marked and unmarked vehicles were spotted outside an American Legion Highway property on Thursday, with some investigators wearing black jackets with “state police” marked on their backs. The clubhouse has a sign out front that reads “Hells Angels MC Cape Cod,” (MC stands for motorcycle club). Target 12 has confirmed a second location used by the motorcycle club was also raided on American Legion Highway. Target 12 also has learned the early morning raid is part of a larger law enforcement operation at multiple motorcycle clubhouses throughout Massachusetts.

The charges were the culmination of Operation Black Rain, an investigation that centered on paid informants and undercover agents from the Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives who infiltrated the club’s ranks. Prosecutors devised the strategy of stripping the Mongols of its trademarks in this earlier case. At a news conference announcing the charges, then-U.S. Atty. Thomas P.

There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the commentator and the trademark owner, and nominative fair use may protect this use of the trademark owner's mark. Additionally, courts are likely to find that your use of a trademark in commentary or criticism is "not in connection with a good or service" and "noncommercial" (the argument is especially strong for the latter category). But note that some courts may find your use of a trademark for criticism and commentary to be commercial if you host advertising or link to commercial websites.

Brotherhood & Betrayal, New Age of Biking & Brotherhood and Iron Order https://amzn.to/3mao5oI ================================================================= Fifty years ago, the summer of ‘72, I landed my first job in advertising. McMullen Advertising was the “in-house” agency for AEE Choppers, manufacturers of custom motorcycle parts. This was three years after the movie “Easy Rider.” We toiled in cahoots with Street Chopper Magazine. Motorcycle impresario, Tom McMullen, lorded over all three enterprises. Possessing an uncanny knack for photographing choppers, the magazine dispatched a mechanic and me on a cross-country summer spree to biker events. Our van hauled Tom’s uber-cherry Harley Sportster and a sleek Honda 750. My hair was long. I was unshaven. I stopped bathing to not only look – but smell the part. Our itinerary took us from Southern California up to Reno, Nevada; Boise, Idaho; Chicago and Cleveland, culminating in Laconia, New Hampshire’s motorcycle mecca. 00:00 Opening 01:57 Letter to editor Sonny Barger Hells Angels MC 07:21 Bikers help police relax 10:51 Why Kim Coates won’t play a biker anymore 13:06 JUDGEMENT DAY BANDIDOS MC MEMBERS STEAL RIVAL MC'S PATCH 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

If you know who Barger is, you may be surprised that he was still alive in 2022 anddied quietly at home, rather than in some drunken knife fight. Born October 8, 1938 in Modesto, California, Sonny Barger founded arguably one of the most notorious and well-known biker gangs in America at just 19 years old.

#motorcycleclubs #onepercenter #mcprotocol An unindicted co-conspirator is a person who is identified by a law enforcement officer to have engaged in a conspiracy, but who is not charged in the indictment charging that person’s fellow conspirators. Prosecutors may name persons as unindicted co-conspirators for: grants of immunity, pragmatic considerations, and evidentiary concerns. The term unindicted co-conspirator was familiarized in 1974. The term ‘co-conspirator’ is not different from the ‘conspirator’. Therefore an unindicted co-conspirator is also known as unindicted conspirator.

#HARLEYDAVIDSON #HARLEY #HARLEYDAVIDSONWARRANTY Federal regulators have accused Harley-Davidson and Westinghouse of imposing illegal warranty terms on customers and ordered them to fix their warranties and ensure that their dealers compete fairly with independent repair-makers. The companies have imposed illegal warranty terms that voided customer warranties if they used anyone other than the companies and their authorized dealers to get parts or repairs — restricting their options and costing them more money, the Federal Trade Commission announced Thursday in actions against the Milwaukee motorcycle maker and MWE Investments, which makes Westinghouse-brand outdoor power generators and related equipment. Under a proposed consent agreement with the agency, the companies will be prohibited from telling customers that their warranties will be voided if they use third-party services or parts, or that they should only use branded parts or authorized service providers. 00:00 Intro 01:07 My personal experience with an extended warranty from Harley-Davidson 02:55 FTC Harley-Davidson engaged in illegal practice regarding warranties 05:50 Harley Davidson imposed illegal conditions 07:17 Harley Davidson goal was to put independent shops out of business 08:41 The Right to Repair policy 11:26 I have a bad taste in my mouth for Harley Davidson https://www.clickondetroit.com/news/politics/2022/06/23/fix-the-hog-harley-westinghouse-ordered-to-fix-warranties/ 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services. You see proof of this everyday on the front pages of newspapers, the homepages of news websites, and countless blogs. Mainstream reporters and non-traditional journalists routinely report on earnings announcements, job lay-offs, and accounting scandals without worrying that they are infringing or diluting the trademarks of the companies and organizations they report on. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the news source and the trademark owner; nominative fair use protects this use of the trademark owner's mark; and the federal dilution statute expressly exempts "news reporting and news commentary" from a dilution claim. See 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(B). As noted above, one court has held that a blogger's critical commentary on a company qualified as "news reporting and news commentary." See BidZirk, LLC v. Smith, 2007 WL 3119445 (D.S.C. Oct. 22, 2007). Trademark law does not permit a trademark owner to use its trademark rights to silence commentary and criticism. As with news reporting, courts recognize the important First Amendment values at stake and usually deny efforts by trademark owners to encroach on legitimate commentary and criticism. There are several legal bases for this result: there is no risk of confusion between the commentator and the trademark owner, and nominative fair use may protect this use of the trademark owner's mark. Additionally, courts are likely to find that your use of a trademark in commentary or criticism is "not in connection with a good or service" and "noncommercial" (the argument is especially strong for the latter category). But note that some courts may find your use of a trademark for criticism and commentary to be commercial if you host advertising or link to commercial websites. In any event, to defeat a trademark dilution claim, you do not even need to show that your use is noncommercial. The federal dilution statute creates a categorical exemption for "criticizing . . . or commenting upon the famous mark owner or the goods or services of the famous mark owner." 15 U.S.C. § 1125(c)(3)(A)(ii). 🔥 #Harley #HarleyDavidson #Biker #Protocol #MotorcycleClub #MC #Tradition #MotorcycleRally #Motorcycles #bikers #outlawmotorcycleclubs #bikerlife

#BANDIDOSMC #HELLSANGELSMC #HELLSANGELS 413 Bikers Girls hosted its first annual ride out at Geraldine’s Live Music Bar and Grill in Chicopee to honor fallen riders. “We are having a ride out for our fallen riders, meaning everyone who has fallen off, all the deceased people that we know,” said Sharon Valentin of 413 Biker Girls. Valentin is one of the lead group members who helped put the first ride out together. They wanted to honor those who died in motorcycle accidents since the subject hits close to home for her. “We’ve had a lot of close friends of ours pass away recently,” Valetin told us. Many bikers from all over came out to support the cause as the group also honored those recovering or dealing with the after effects of a motorcycle accident. 00:00 Intro to show 02:26 Ridgerunners mc rally 03:57 413 Biker Girls 05:51 St Judes Hospital 06:46 DANVILLE ILLINOIS 07:48 Police Dismantle Bandidos Motorcycle Clubhouse 11:17 HELLS ANGELS MC OFF ONE OF THEIR OWN 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

#HELLSANGELS #HELLSANGELSCANADA #OUTLAWMOTORCYCLECLUBS These are a few of the businesses that members of outlaw motorcycle clubs increasingly are operating to keep a low profile, launder money and expand their influence, Ontario’s police chiefs warn. Bikers are “comfortable” dropping their patches – the three-piece vests that signify their membership in an outlaw motorcycle club – to run businesses that allow them to launder money while expanding their influence in business sectors and civil society, according to an Ontario Association of Chiefs of Police (OACP) report on organized crime. 00:00 Introduction to the ABATE Debate 00:35 Ruling from the Supreme Court 02:00 The Great ABATE DEBATE 03:55 We’re fighting a losing battle 05:57 There has never been outreach to the younger bikers to join 09:00 Members feel let down 11:52 Have to be realy happy to live here 12:17 OUTLAW BIKERS RUNNING LEGITIMATE BUSINESSES TO LAUNDER MONEY 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.

#PAGANSMC #HELLSANGELSMC #IRONORDERMC Louise Garman celebrated her 102nd birthday Friday. For her party at her retirement community, she had cake, music, and a group of motorcyclists show up to give her a ride around. When asked why she chose motorcycles for her wish, she said, “my friend took me for a ride in Oklahoma. Then on my 95th birthday, my grandson took me on his motorcycle down in Houston. So I love motorcycles.” Garman credits says her secret to living for 102 years is, “oh maybe being around interesting people, positive people. I think that’s the thing.” She also said, “don’t smoke and drinks lots of water.” Garman’s actual birthday is Saturday, but she got to spend today getting her birthday wish for the 102nd time. 00:00 One of our listeners fathers hurt in motorcycle accident 02:02 Video News Coverage about the father 02:50 102 year old spends birthday with bikers 05:04 Oh this one has the blood boiling 10:12 PAGANS MC SOUTHWEST & HELLS ANGELS ARIZONA FIGHT OVER TURF https://www.gofundme.com/uy7sqs-michael-motorcycle-accident 🔥Trademark law does not let a trademark owner exert its trademark rights to stop news reporting about it or its products or services.
