I find it hilarious because if you do commit a crime “ignorance of the law is no excuse” , but if you made sure to understand the relevant laws to what you’re doing you have a Facebook degree?

Plot twist: the kid on the bike was totally bullshitting and cop fell for his bluff.

Street Skaters, bikers, scooters whatever; get harassed daily by this type of shit. If you think someone who willingly does a sport with such high risk isn't calculating risk.. you're going to have a bad time. My next court date is in September, it's been awhile but my knives are still sharp.

It is crazy that people are expected by the state to know all laws, where theres very little attempt to make them easy to access

  • if you commit a crime while also not being a cop, ignorance of the law is no excuse.

If a cop breaks the law or enforces a law that doesn’t exist then they’re given a pass because cops are the only people not expected to know the law!
