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

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.

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!

I'd pay the ticket and walk...I'd tell the court person the ticket is cheaper than a stupid *** xbox game....

and do it again.

As long as it is civil penalties, just keep playing until it gets too expensive.

I think more of people who play on a elementary school playground than of those who spend 8 hours a day in front of TV, computer, etc. (unless you are one of the few confined to a cube...then it is different)

I enjoy playing Hide an go **** yourself and haven't got a ticket for that yet, maybe you should give it a try //content.invisioncic.com/y282845/emoticons/thumbsup.gif.3287b36ca96645a13a43aff531f37f02.gif

****ing pigs

 

[Flipx99 5,000+ posts]

I meant to keep doing it. They'd only let you walk the first time. Consider the ticket as a price of admission to a theme park.

What is the difference? Like skating is so much more mature than playing tag?

you obviously dont skate... but to you yes i see what ur saying....

 

[Flipx99 5,000+ posts]

No. I don't. I see it as a recreational activity, just like playing tag.

Both provide cardiovascular execise to the particpant.

Is it because skating is a "lifestyle"? You are right, I do not get how a terribly ineffecient way to get somewhere, or going round-and-round in circles, or jumping various objects is more of a "lifestyle" than playing tag. I have yet to find someone who could articulate what this lifestyle is all about...the resort to things like...well since you don't skate, you don't understand....I believe it is because of the Apple Jacks line of reasoning...you just do....It isn't a function of enlightenment, but of preference.
