Well, people are asking me about it a lot and I have to type it each time, so here it is!
I'm riding at the office complex I always ride at yesterday, minding my own buisness, and this lady yells at me "Get out of here!!!" but I didn't know she was a guard, she was like a nobody, so I just ignored her. I hear sirens and I thought that it was something else so I decide maybe I should head home and it was also drizzling, so I start to speed out of there, and I'm on the sidewalk and this cop puts on his sirens so I thought that he was gonna get someone, and next to me and yells "Stop right there!!!" and so I slam on the brakes and he's like "why did you run from me? You thought this was a game huh? What were you thinking?" and getting all up in my face and I'm like "I didn't ru.." and he cut me off and said "Yea you did...blah blah" and then accused me of trespassing(even though there's no sign or anything), yelling at someone(I didn't say anything at all), and almost hitting a car(there was no cars in the parking lot at all), and then said that he might call my parents and asked "What would they say about this?" and I said "I donno, I'm not them" and he's like "I don't need that, now I'm calling your parents!" and he told me to go home and tell my parents what happened before he called. So I go strait home, got home like 2 mins later and my dad's like "I heard" and I'm thinking "WTF?!" and my dad's like "I'm not mad at you, I just don't want you in trouble. Just don't ride there for a while" but I was still upset cause I wasn't doing anything wrong and this cop acted like I was committing a huge crime or a murder or something. I didn't need that. If he just said "Don't ride here" I woulda left. I was going to leave the lot anyway...
But this cop's like "I'm not going to arrest you yet unless you've done this before" and went on to say "I'm not even going to put your name anywhere" and I'm thinking "Well what the hell, I'm on a bike and he pulls me over, sirens and all, with a cop car, and there's also a bike cop too? WTF?" A simple "stop" woulda done fine...
It probably cost Creve Coure PD like $500 just to pull me over. Sad
I probably shoulda kept going, I could out run the car(by making tons of curb hops and stuff) and the bike is a Police Trek, no suspension at all, I could easily beat that.
It's pretty bad when cops chase a kid on a bike, you would think that they woulda gone after a speeder, or a red light runner, or druggies, but no, a kid minding his own buisness is more important.
Sad isn't it, a falure of the law...
