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

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....

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.

Schools get vandalized and having a report about people around a school late at night will definitely get the attention of Mr. Policeman and his friends. Don't play there!

That said, I figure you'll get something less than the full ticket, perhaps a reduced/suspended fine, having the case dismissed by the DA or having the judge find you not guilty. Good luck on this and hopefully you don't press your luck anymore.

Take note that city parks often have hours they are closed so be wary about moving your game to those places.

If you want a tag game, get CB's in your cars or carry walkie-talkies. Have one person hide and see who finds them first. It's a game some of my friends used to play 25+ years ago and it can still be fun today! You can use all publicly accessed streets and parking lots as your playground. Knowing your territory will let you be tricky too! A little-known dirt road that looped underneath a small bridge on US 101 in Coos Bay was a perfect place to hide as few people knew about it but when the "seekers" drove around with their S-meters pegged to see where you were, they were totally mystified.

Was it public property?
* First Amendment – Establishment Clause, Free Exercise Clause; freedom of speech, of the press, and of assembly; right to petition

Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the free exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances.

The cops knew they were merely playing tag and still wrote them a ticket. That's lame. But they gotta hit quota I guess...

No. It is publically available but still owned by the government. You still can't just tresspass on roofs. The judgement to climb the roof was idiotic. PERIOD. I am glad they harassed and ticketed you. Everyone is alway so **** innocent. Cops are always ********. Whateva, get a clue.

Standing on rooftops is NOT peaceful assembly.

What kind of idiots would play tag at night anywhere?

and then buttercup jumps on the roof.. ohh yah real smart move there.

Even if you weren't playing tag in the middle of the day by yourself no cop is going to let you run around ontop of a roof.

We live in a world of FEAR.

A bunch of 20 yearolds chasing each other yelling in the middle of the night..... Hahaha... yer crazy to think people wouldn't have a problem with it..

At night and on a roof, bad news. However, still think it is stupid for people to call you out on your recreational activities, or to compare.

don't bother...anyone who quotes the 1st amendment as a primary basis for an argument regarding right to assemble has not caught up to legal history since the 1800s.

i agree with what you say.. being that you have not got to the point or even tried none the less.. but once you get good at skate boarding it's more of a challenge. on what you can do, how you do it and wether or not you are going to pull it off and bust ur ass...

The difference is, skating curbs and rails is vandalizing. It destroys the property.

the next time i grind on a curb and it crumbles under my feet then its vandalizeing..... there is hardly any damadge other the wax on the curb or rail that is done by skater's.... you get ur stupid kiddy skater's out there that vandalize **** cause there board... i see more graffiti anywhere and everywhere then property vandalized by skateboarding...

i'll have to sue the school next time im out skateing.. i walk on the side walks.. the sidewalk wear's out my shoe's.. vandalizeing my property...
