Art is crime

[Antwan]

Color on wall is graffiti.. and in skating is a grind in reference to grinding down rails.. Ruining property? The other day I had to leave my board with a grocery store cop because I was on "public private property" I thought.. Really? What have you guys had to put up with while out expressing yourselves? Is private public property a real thing? haha

[Roccityroller]

funny thing is. Cops usually leave rollerbladers alone.

I get a lot of cops showing up cuz people called for kids skateboarding and then not caring cuz we were rollerblading.

mostly just "you can't skate here" "Ok" come back 2 hours later.

when I was a teenager I ran from the cops all the time for skating ... one time I didnt run and I did get a 70 ticket, another time I didnt run I got a ticket but I gave false name and info, so I never got the ticket lol... Also there was sometimes I didnt run and the cops just warned me...
Me and my friends would go to the mall and try to make the security guard chase us in the trucks :).. Workers from inside there shops near skate spots would always kick us out.. It all comes with being a skater...

Antwan why did you let the rent a cop take your board?

[replicant]

Our local locals when I was a kid would impound our boards and ticket us.
That is why as soon as they showed up we'd scatter into the wind and woods.
As an older skater now I just buy the cop a coffee or biscuit and he watches out for me. =)

[Antwan]

Its not like I couldnt take him or anything eternal but if im in a store to buy something I figure I can trust the dude I wouldnt have got far anyway.. Its that dont give a fuck mentality that makes us hated I feel. Im very civil about skating.. Theres always somewhere else.. You can be rational in such situations.

If its not a real cop, then they are fair game for a beating if they persist with their tomfoolery

[SpadedOne]

You should have never left anything with a grocery store cop. Here in California they're not even legally aloud to make physical contact with you. A good rule of thumb is a gun. If they have a badge they can be a rent a cop. Which have no power. But if they also have a gun then they're real cops. And they do have power. You should have told the rent a cop to fuck off and if he touches you, press charges.

[Antwan]

Press charges? Really? Why even waste that much energy its a regular cop that hangs in the grocery store I dont judge and im not about to fight for the right to hold my skateboard for 2 minutes you guys are hilarious.

Had some lady call the cops on us saying "we were disturbing the peace and kicking over trash cans." We were seshing a ledge haha.
Had to dip at a skatepark for not wearing a helmet.

Theres always somewhere else..

[momadaddy]
