22tunnus

22tunnus is a Finnish slang term that refers to a biker refusing to meet with the police. The term "22tunnus" roughly translates to "refuse to meet" in English. It is a phrase used among bikers in Finland.

Bikers who refuse to meet with the police are often trying to avoid potential raids or fines. Meeting with the police can be a high-risk situation for bikers, particularly those involved in organized crime or drug trafficking. By refusing to meet, bikers can avoid situations where they may be arrested or have their vehicles searched.

The term "22tunnus" originated in the 1990s and gained wider usage in the early 2000s as the Finnish media started to report on the phenomenon. It reflects the largely informal culture of bike clubs in Finland, where members consider themselves part of a subculture that resists authority.

While "22tunnus" is widely used in Finland, it has limited international recognition. Foreign bikers unaware of the term may face confusion or misunderstanding if they refuse to meet with Finnish police. Additionally, the term "22tunnus" is often used interchangeably with other slang terms and phrases, making it difficult to pin down an exact definition.

Scholars and law enforcement agencies have attempted to study and define "22tunnus," but its meaning is subjective and often dependent on local context.
