Yeah man I Totally agree its REALLY stupid...I mean for all they know itsmy way of gettin around its no different then biking around town cops need to loosen up I mean whats the point of sk8n if all you can do is hit up the local park? Its stupid plus man ITS A PUBLIC AREA and im the public arent I? so who are they do deny me my sk8n rights! Anyways cops will be cops and to them were all dealin drugs and carryin handguns wherever we ride...To them if your a sk8r your always doin sumtin wrong! Screw the cops! ill keep sk8n if they like it or not!

"I mean whats the point of sk8n if all you can do is hit up the local park? Its stupid plus man ITS A PUBLIC AREA and im the public arent I?"

when you skate in a public area and grind on a rail or ledge, that is officially defacing public property, so in that case i understand the cops.
and when they come for you, just skate as fast as you can and hope you get away!!!
and yes you are suppose to skate in the skate park.... thats why its called a skate park...

but in jesse92 case, getting harassed for just skating home is utter bullsh**, thats when cops just have nothing else to do so the go and harass the first person the see, and i see that all the time

That makes no sense how could anyone get in trouble for riding in a PUBLIC area i would understand if it were like a doctors office or something but thats as retarded as a cow wearing blades jumpin off the empire state building

i think i have it easy here in england, ive only ever seen cops hang around where i do stuff once, and thats because there where some kids smoking pot. in my small town i get harassed by the local teens more then i do by the cops, but i think i know a way around the cop problem.
