My run in with Johnny Law tonight...

[yne721 10+ year member]

So now that the weather is getting nicer, my friends and I usually resort to less drinking in a bar, and more active stuff like playing playground tag, capture the flag, and hard target which is kind of like hide and seek with cars. We are all in our twenties. Sure it sounds kind of immature, but anybody who's done these things knows that you don't have to be 10 years old to enjoy them. And it's a nice way to have good clean fun and avoid problems with the law. OR SO WE THOUGHT.

So tonight we meet up at a designated meeting place around 11:30 pm, and decide where we're going to play. We pick a nearby elementary school. There are 14 of us, so it's seven on seven, and we play with the entire property of the school, so you can sneak around and stuff. Well we're playing, and i say to my buddy "man i wish i could get ontop of the roof, then maybe i could see their flag(a glowstick) and i'd be able to drop right down and grab it and run." We both agree that this would be sweet, as there have been many times during hard target where i've gotten ontop of school buildings because you can see people coming and it's a good place to catch your breath if you smoke too much like i do.

So I end up finding a way onto the roof, and i'm walking around on the roof, and i hear tires burn out into the parking lot. Without even looking, i think "oh great that's got to be the cops" so i run over to the side, and jump down off the school. As soon as i get up off the ground, a cop runs around the corner with his gun drawn and a flashlight in my face yelling "GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND GET ON THE GROUND RIGHT NOW"

So I do as i'm told, and get on my knees with my hands up, and he comes up behind me and pushes me forward and yells "I SAID GET ON THE FUCKING GROUND NOT GET ON YOUR KNEES." So then he tells me to put my hands behind my back, and that i'm under arrest and he puts his cuffs on me, rather tightly if i may say so myself, i still have scratches on my right wrist.

So he stands me up, and starts walking me to the car, and as i'm walking to the car, i see 7 or 8 of the other kids up against a wall, and one other one on his stomach with his hands cuffed behind his back as well. So the cop gets me to his car, and puts his hands in one of my pockets, and i tell him "just so you know i have cigarettes and my cell phone in my back left pocket, my wallet and my car key in my back right pocket, a bunch of change in my front right pocket and some cash in my front left pocket" and he replies with "did i ask you what you had on you?" and i replied politely "no you didn't, i just didn't want you to be surprised about anything"

He then asks me if i have any dope on me, and i say no. And he says "oh yeah, like i'm supposed to believe that, do you have any marijuana on you?" and i tell him "no sir, i have a union job that has random drug tests, i can't afford to lose my job over something so trivial"

So he opens up the back door, and says "you're how old?" and i tell him i'm twenty three. He laughs and says "and you're out here doing this? playing stupid games?" so i reply "in my opnion this is a lot better than boozing it up at some bar and driving home or being vandalistic in anyway. we're just trying to have some good clean fun that's all" and he tells me to get in the car.

So at this point, i'm trying to think about what i'm going to tell my mom when i get to the police station, because i was told i was under arrest. Well the whole time i'm in the car, i can hear over the police scanner about how there's a possibly armed man, trying to break into his ex-girlfriends house no less than a mile away. But apparently 14 kids playing a variation of tag on school property is more important and requires no less than 6 different police vehicles to take care of. So the officer runs my license and everything. A fellow cop walks up to the window, and my arresting officer says "you know these kids are all in their early and mid twenties? jesus, i was married when i was their age" as if age has anything to do with A. finding true love or B. having fun at any costs.

So the officer then says "jason, did you know that it was against the law to be on school grounds after 10pm?" and i replied with "no sir" he then tells me that it is. He goes on to say "you should be thanking me" so i say "and why is that?" and he replies "because you're not going to jail tonight" and i say ok. Then he says "But you are getting a ticket, and you have 3 weeks to take care of it" to which i reply with "you're right. thank you officer. What is the date today the fifteenth?" and he says "no the sixteenth" then lets me out of the backseat and hands me my ticket.

ALL OF THIS BECAUSE I WAS PLAYING CAPTURE THE FLAG. Livonia cops are so fucking stupid. So no I get to go to court, and fight the ticket because there was nothing posted at this particular school about not being allowed on school grounds past dark, and hope that I can either get the ticket waived or hope that he doesn't show.

Wow that *****. You know you are probably going to get flamed for playing that, but yeah I know what you mean, me and my friends would play tag still in HS at the park and you couldn't touch the mulch or you were it. Like you said, sounds gay but its actually fun and better than sitting around all day and being a lazy ass or doing drugs.

I hate cops and this just makes me hate them more.

exactly. some people think that they're above certain games because they're too old for that ****. no fuck that. if a game is fun i'm going to play it. i don't care if it's go fish or hide and seek or anything.

 

[yne721 10+ year member]

no it's more like this, but without the dodge symbol and they're entirely black and gold...

 

[kballa422 10+ year member]

I agree with you on that, you're never too old to have fun, not that drugs can't be fun, but you get what I'm saying.

 

[Injected54 10+ year member]

When you goto court explain to the judge how you explained it here. How you didn't know it was illegal to be on school property after a certain hour. Also how you guys were just trying to have some good clean fun instead of possibly drinking, getting into trouble, and some other negative things you could have been doing. Be respectful and polite with the judge also, their the ones that could make or break you.

that's what i plan on doing, but i'm pretty much expecting the judge to say something like "ignorance doesn't excuse breaking the law. just because you don't know you can't speed doesn't make it legal" or some stupid **** like that.

also, i am the only one that got a ticket. i'm thinking it was because i was on the roof.

 

[Injected54 10+ year member]

True, but go in hoping for the best, and realize the worst is your probably gonna have to pay the fine.

 

[yne721 10+ year member]

it's kind of funny too, because i've been thinking about walking up and asking this girl out on my bowling league, and tonight i finally did it. while we were talking over a drink i was like "if you could ask me one question and i was guaranteed to tell the truth, what would you ask me" HOPING she'd ask me a real question, then i'd say "well my question would be would you like to go out on friday night, and if the answer is yes i'll answer your question then" but she asked me "how many tickets have you gotten" and my response was "probably 9 or 10, but it's been a couple years, i used to drive like an *******" so now when we go out this weekend, i can be like "thanks a lot, you got me that ticket, you jinxed me"

Tell the judge the cop told you, you were under arrest and then let you go. Only a judge can "un-arrest" you.

The cops probably figured you guys were trying to break into the school, and then to their astonishment found out it was just some losers playing World of Warcraft.

I bet they had a good chuckle when they got back to the police station. //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/laugh.gif.48439b2acf2cfca21620f01e7f77d1e4.gif

Even if you don't know about the school grounds after 10PM ordinance, you should still know better than to think it is a good idea to run around on the roof of a building at night. Any good cop is going to see this activity as attempted break in or vandalism which is reason enough to harass you and call in more bored officers.
IDIOT!
