Organizing Cheering Section for Mike V's Arraignment Tomorrow 6/2 2PM
I can probably go tomorrow. Who else is in?
What rules of the courthouse should we be aware of beforehand?
I assume pictures are allowed in courthouses?

Rules: no weapons, cameras or recording devices in the courtroom (w/o press pass). Dress professionally/respectfully: it's a courthouse. Put on a collared shirt, or suit up as for work. No outbursts, cheering or disruption. No soy products. (Okay, made that last one up)
Cameras ARE allowed outside in the public venue... look for him, stake it out, have others outside to verify where he goes. Send the press to interview him.
I'd think a DSLR with a rapid frame rate and a 200mm lens ought to be effective for many photos of the perpetrator, from a safe distance. He's apparently known to bite, after all.

No way I can make it, much as I'd like to. I used up my day-off last Friday. I'd wear an MTB jersey, but not mtbr.com please. Bring a drawing pad if you can draw. I always loved those courtroom drawings. Someone take notes. It will be quick. He'll plead not-guilty and they'll set another court date of some kind.
Be cool, as in silent and respectful. Don't antagonize the defendant (other than wearing a jersey to identify why you are there). This isn't the hearing scene from Animal House.

Not sure if I want to bring my good camera - in the unlikely event Mike causes any trouble. Nevertheless - will do what I can to get some decent pics!:thumbsup:EBasil said:Rules: no weapons, cameras or recording devices in the courtroom (w/o press pass).

Is it going to be a general araignment or a formal one. IOW is there a scheduled time for him to appear or is it one of those things where you could be sitting in the benches for hours on end?
I might just have to attend myself.
EDIT..from the other thread.

Great reason to hit merchants and last stand. Wear what you'd wear if riding.. Also its BART close...

From my limited experiences in courthouses - no hats or sunglasses.
Big thank you to every body that is going. Wish I could be there.

Send my KPIX neighbor camera man and Gary Fisher messages referencing these two threads.
What time does the tailgate party start?
Crazy is as crazy does. This needs to haunt him forever.
Is he in custody or not? If he is he will be brought in through a secure area and if not, then he may enter through the front door like the rest of us (non-perps).
wish I could attend, in fact everyone at the shop would love to be there.. Get some good photos Chuck!!!
Perhaps when this is all said and done, I can have this story published in BIKE.....would be a great article!!

Very likely ROR since he lives in the neighborhood and has owned his house for many years.
I have a meeting. I hope a ton of MTB'ers show up and cause such a rukus that it makes the news tonight. Please report back here!
... and video!
Most digital cameras take pretty decent quality video these days. :thumbsup:baycat said:Pants are optional from my past court dates.

I don't plan on raising any sort of "ruckus." I plan on attending, taking pictures when possible and taking notes. I don't want to be involved with any effort that makes us look like a frenzied fringe group.Dion said:I have a meeting.

Not allowed in court, is it?pimpbot said:Most digital cameras take pretty decent quality video these days. :thumbsup:
