New law gives police power confiscate vehicles and suspend licences for up to 10 years and also dish out jail terms

AN anti-biker bill has been voted into Florida law after State Representative Carlos Lopez-Cantera took a ride-along with local police last November.

The law comes into effect on October 1st, 2008 and will allow police to confiscate a motor vehicle if the rider is caught doing more than 30mph over the limit.

There will be further penalties imposed including jail sentences of five to ten years as well as suspended motorcycle licences for ten years.

The bill was originally introduced specifically against motorcycles but an amendment was made to include all vehicles.
