I frequent lots of motorcycling message boards. I hear stories about that kind of harassment from the cops from all over North America.
Florida doesn't bother. Loud pipes is the only violation they go after and it doesn't take long to find, write up and move on.
All other code violations here, usually wind up with a warning or order to repair with minimal fine, so the incentive to "search for violations" isn't there.
Scraping bikers up off the pavement and receiving OT pay for the funeral escort is a much bigger business.
Riding in South Florida means knowing the next biker funeral of a friend is only a few weeks away, always.
