The AMA does involve itself in high profile, news worthy cases involving crashes where the criminal justice system fails to treat motorcyclists seriously. Had I died in this crash, I'm sure the AMA would have taken an interest in it, but I didn't.
The short story is that a motorist struck me while I was riding to work. He then left the scene of the crash. The police didn't want to investigate the crash, even though there was a witness. Several days later, I was able to find the guy, by simple detective work. I notified the police of his license number. It took a month of calling the police investigator and finally going to Internal Affairs before the investigator would even interview me. He refused to look at the bike or talk to the witness. I was able to identify the guy out of a photo lineup. Under pressure the investigator did charge the guy. The prosecutor failed to consider the case seriously. He didn't subpoena me, the cop, or the witness. I found out when the case was going to trial by checking the Internet. Fortunately, the cop was in court for another case. The prosecutor did a bad job and the judge found the guy innocent even though the guy admitted to the crime, in court. The judge clearly showed a bias against motorcyclists.
I certainly think this case meets the standards of the cases the AMA routinely gets involved in--except one: there was no news media coverage. I do have transcripts of the trial and other paperwork.
