Haha!  I love the end where your riding right in front of em!  that video is awesome!

Has anyone ever met a patrol cop anywhere who wasn't a complete asshole?  In the suburbs they are even worse because they are so f-cking bored they have to come up with stuff to fill their day.  It pisses me off that my tax dollars pay these idiots salaries.  God forbid if anyone stands up to these harassing douche bag motherf-ckers.  This video really got me hot.

F-ck the police.  Seems that the police have to elevate past a patrol car before they start having any sense about what REAL f-cking police work is.

Well what I see is a cop who thinks too much of himself and saw in your situation the perfect opportunity to feel he has a 20cm long cock between his legs.

I don't really know antyhing about the american way other than what I get to see in the movies but at least Portuguese cops are either comfortable with this kind of stuff or they are just too lazy to go and arass a rider who's just trying to pass by unoticed while practicing.

Don't give it too much importance though, it'll probably happen again, one night when no one is robbing a licor store or there's no sh*thead beating up his wife at home, you'll end up being once again the victim of police boredom.

The only issues I had with authorities were back when I was still figuring out how the hell was I supose to get into an hitchiker, I was in a public park so I guess I was asking for it but the dude was so nice about it that the only thing he stated was that how good it was for me to be riding instead of shooting "strange white powders into my veins", which I really aprreciated LOL

Other than that I had a prick of a public servant for the municipal hall who felt like he had to f*ck around with me just because he was meant to watch out for public property which I could damage with my pegs and all.

Big deal, as long as they don't prevent you from riding, you're cool.

Just indulge their need for feeling usefeful to the comunity, be polite and DON´T call them 'dude' because that makes you sound like a kid, not a 26yr old grown man, who knows the difference between his friends and a guy who can get you in his car and take you for a ride 'till downtown.

Im glad Im not the only one, thats happened to me so many times here in Bowling Green, its ridiculous. Now when I ride at night, Im not really scared of getting robbed and whatnot, Im more concerned about going to jail. I have been pulled over by cop cars probably 4-5 times over the years just for riding around (not even doing tricks). I finally have a public park I ride at now where I don't get harassed daily, too bad the spot is totally uneven though...  I used to have trust in cops, but at least in my city I would say 90% are unjust and looking to make problems.

Way to hold your own with officers cock knuckles and Dick Lock

[handspin]

haha the duder lebowski comment

no one knows what flat is anyway, but hopefully they don't care after you explained.

BTW, if you look like a suspect or sketchy, i guess they may ask around.

maybe just bored, after all it is santa ana. LAPD wouldn't give a crap, maybe ask you to do some tricks.

[mare]

what a jerks
but probably next time they see u they will just pass by

[sackley85]

Wow, you handled that nicely. Cops go either way... being a dick like the older guy, or being pretty chill like the younger one.

[The Brown Sound]

Ridiculous....wow so much props Iriez...much respect...

[Gensanity]

LMFAO

Please make a copy of this, take it up to the local police station, and give it to them.

I'm sure a few of his buds would enjoy giving him a hard time for being such an arse

Nah, this california. The term "dude" and "man" are thrown around like the words "the" and "economy"

Thanks for enjoying everyone. Appreciate the props. I was || close from telling him to go fck himself after telling me im like his ex wife. Its a good thing he walked away after saying that, otherwise I might have spent some time in the backseat of his car being harassed more...because im only so tolerant to douche bags. I dont care if your a police officer, city councilman or a homeless guy....idiots are idiots.

[havok]

WOW!
i guess i'm lucky, but i ride a lot directly across the street
from the police station. never had an issue.

i will say this; i have NEVER met or hung out with a cop
that i liked.

Kudos to you, dude.

[Sagaris]

Aw man I feel for you!

The worst I've had is being asked to move on with a group of skaters (who were making all the noise ). Nearly all police around here (Crawley and East Grinstead, UK) are absolutely fine with me riding in nearly all car parks and general open spaces, unless it's quite obviously busy or built up.
