Police...

[planet-x-boy]

I got arrested not so long ago. I was checking to see if a rail was safe so give it a little tug (smallest tug ever). The whole thing came off in my hand. Security guard saw me a got the police straight away. The police turned up and i ended up getting put in a sell for 90minutes.

Pointless really.

Well......if your on a bike, and they are on foot.....I think I see a way out of this!

Step on the gas man!

My name has been taken down 4 times by far, always when I was riding. First time exactly for nothing. Just because they needed to collect a fixed amount of people's names daily. Other times somebody didn't like the way of where and how I was riding so he called police.

We've been quite lucky with the Fuzz, the only Real encounter we've had in hastings was one pig with a bad attitude shouting "OI! Get down!" a couple of days ago, But ive never had my name taken down, The street wardens give us a bit of beef sometimes, But as far as i know they are just Fake-wannabe police fag, with no power so i dont take much notice....

ricky you s%!t yourself when that bacon boy shouted at us. you run and hid underneath that fountain, and then every time the fuzz drove past you'd ride off.. even today, community support officer comes over, has a little word and she was quite friendly about the situation of us 'bashing' up some concrete. you however laid a log

EDIT: im just saying their doing their job, admitted some of them are power hungry and lazy. but hey who isnt?

Hah, you're bad luck young mathew. Everyday you've been with us we had some sort of police person stalking us.

Had my name taken twice; once because someone broke into one of the stores on the retail park we were riding in, so they took everyone in the park's name and address anyway, and second when I was riding on the rocks in the middle of a roundabout at 1am (fair play I s'pose)

Nowt came of either time, but it's a bit annoying. They always seem to turn up just when you're about to nail something.

I agree some coppers are obsessed with giving you grief - when I used to live in Northwich the coppers up there hated anyone on a bike, trials or not. Cops in brum seem reasonably OK though. To be honest if they tell me to ride somewhere else, I just say 'Where? Where else can I do this sort of stuff? We get thrown out of skateparks all the time.' That generally breeds a moment of silence and then 'I don't care but don't do it here.'. So we move 100 yards down the road and do the same

Plus there's the whole 'can't ride it on the road, can't ride it on the pavement...what the hell am I supposed to do?' scenario.

Seriously though, never had any proper grief of cops. RENTACOPS, however are a different league altogether. I hate those gits. I find real cops (generally speaking, there are some exceptions) to be reasonable, but rentacops are just out to justify their salaries (when they can be bothered to get off their fat asses).

The trick is to ride somewhere completely dead. If there's no-one there, and nothing of interest to break into/vandalise/steal, the cops are unlikely to bother patrolling the area. Industrial estates have always been a fave of mine. Granted there won't be as much street furniture as the centre of town, but you can usually find some interesting stuff (and pallets galore...)
