AERC Non-Member Fees

AERC is probably on thin ice legally in this matter of charging non-members.  If a class action suit were brought by those non-members to recover the funds, AERC would have a difficult time defending itself.  

The case could fairly be made that AERC is using/abusing a monopoly position (the power to withhold sanctioning) for monitary gain, unrelated to any legitimate sanctioning purpose.  

Said another way, the money being paid by non-members is being extorted via the ride managers.

This viewpoint is offered by a non-member who once tried to refuse paying the $10 only to be begged by the ride staff not to make waves.
