San Francisco City and County law

a) Prohibits skateboarding on any city street at any time, on any sidewalk in any business district at any time, and on any non-business district sidewalk commencing 30 minutes after sunset and ending 30 minutes before sunrise (Traffic Code, Section 100)


Sounds like the cop was bullshiting to me. I dont think the kid was even breaking the law.

Hang around P&N for a little bit and you'll soon see the hilarity ;) .

It's still a fucking stupid law. Why should skaters be denied the freedom to use their mode of transport after sunset? The city sounds like a fucking dictatorship.

Because of one law? While I'm sure that make skateboarders are just trying to get around, way too many like to screw up the flow on the sidewalks, grind and break stuff, and just generally cause trouble.

Apparently the people of San Francisco don't want them around.

There was nothing excessive or unreasonable according to whom?



Just because something is "reasonable by anyone's standards" doesn't make it right.

With as open-minded, welcoming, and non-judgemental SanFran'ers are about homos getting married, you'd think they wouldn't give a shit about the .005% of the city that skateboards around.

Flow of the sidewalk? :roll: Gimme a break.

I guess they're so used to bending each other over and sticking it in, I'm not surprised they're starting going after the youth for the same.

Well it's obviously not reasonable by anyone's standards. Ignore him.

No hard feelings. Sorry again for the false accusation. :beer:

And Nik, I don't really care what you have to say. You not saying anything doesn't piss me off. Just means that my point was made.

I was just giving you more than enough chances to back up your BS claims. Since you have no backup you are doing this "keep quiet" technique to try and bait me into getting pissed off. Not going to play your game. Sorry.

To be honest I figured children grew out of the "I know something you don't know" phase at some point in there lives. Apparently not.

i think you are all missing the part of the video where the cop was going easy on the kids and was letting them off even though they messing with what appears to be a man-hole. Kid called the cop a dick, he deserves to go to jail.

Obviously mommy or daddy or whoever the fuck is his peer doesn't do the parenting job well enough

Who is missing that point? Nobody is criticizing the officer for arresting the kid.

I'd have been a dick too if I was given them all a second chance and some asshat said I was being a fucking dick because of it.

Cop was being cool about letting them go with a warning.

That bitch talking about his gun and shit was fucking loopy. He should have just capped her and helped all of society.

He's going to keep waiting because you have no facts to back up your claims. Son, you blasted a pile of bile not worth the effort it took to type it out. Links to your claims of law knowledge or GTFO of the thread...

1, YES! what the hell is your point? He actually wasn't arrested at that point though. He was just sitting there. What are you even getting at?

2, What do you mean it doesn't matter if he wasn't resisting? A crime was committed. An officer used his judgment (which is entirely justified) to arrest and the subject resisted. It's mind boggling to think someone can not even comprehend what is going on there. It's a FUCKING CRIMINAL OFFENCE!!!!!!!!!

Yeah guys, fuck the law! It doesn't matter if he was resisting. :roll:

3 doesn't even need a response. No force was used anyway.

Edit: Look one post up. Same thing, but force was applied there. It was NOT in this case.

Dude, there is ALWAYS force being used. It's not just some term to use when you punch someone. The officer talking to the kid is a level of force.



And as for the problem you have comprehending the whole detaining issue, here is what you said- "When a subject resists an officers attempt in any way for detainment"

I am saying that did not happen here. The kid was ALREADY being detained while sitting on the ground. You have the definitions of "detained" and "force" a little mixed up.

Wait a min. here, are you claiming talking to a criminal is " force"?. Should we have an LEO send them a f-ing candy gram w/flowers instead??.

Haha! that "skater" deserved what he got. Even lanky white kids should watch Chris Rock's "how not to get beat up by the police." If the kid would've been all calm and pleasant and the cop acted the same way on tape, the kid might be looking at a nice settlement check from the State/City. Instead he's made to look like an idiot for all the world to see!
