BIKE AMICI Amicus language

From BIKE AMICI's amicus:

Of the approximately three hundred million people living in America, fifty-seven million of them ride a
bicycle. Despite almost one-fourth of all Americans engaging in the activity, many law enforcement
officers do not understand the statutory and Terry rights of bicycle operators. Bias against bicycle
operators by motorists (including law enforcement) has existed since the turn of the 19th century.
Bicycle operators continually deal with bias, misunderstanding, and unfair treatment by ignorant
Peace Officers. Therefore, this Court must exercise its power to explicitly extend the protections of
Terry to bicycle operators, to ensure fairness and just treatment in traffic law enforcement.

Amicus, amicus curiae, amicus curiae brief and amicus brief are all used to refer to a brief (a
document which is a legal argument that a case should be decided a certain way) submitted by
someone (BIKE AMICI) who is not a party to the case but believes that the court's decision will affect
its interests (cyclists' interests). Amicus curiae also refers to the party submitting the amicus.
