Zoner1320 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 So Sunday I was at work and took a lunch break. I rode to a store to grab some grub. When I parked my bike it was a non handicap spot. I come out and one of the local cops was parked behind my bike. As i approach my bike carrying a small plastic bag a helmet and my coat, He asks me is that your bike (Nope just a cautious driver). I said yes. He asked me for my ID registration and Proof of Ins. I said what did I do. At this point I am very respectful. He said my DRIVER SIDE mirror is hanging over into the handicap spot. WHOA exactly which side is the driver side on a bike????!!!!! So at this point the level of respect is rapidly disappearing. After informing him of the Definition of parking and the fact that my tires were not in the handicap. I was able to talk my way out of it and get a warning. Obviouslly this guy must own a HD and does not respect to "Evil Ways of us YOUNG KIDS" considering I was probably older than he was. Any one else getting riff from the PD? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 is that why you stopped parking on the sidewalk next to the store? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoner1320 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 No that is for other reasons a side of the whole against the law thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 You gotta wonder if cops get back in their car after saying something like "Driver side of the bike" and question themselves.Altho if you managed to take up the whole parking spot with a bike...that's impressive.

EagleCock Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 are you kidding me? I wanted to start screaming reading that post because that cop was so dumb. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoner1320 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Yeah granted I was a lil close to the handicap spot OBVIOUSLY but another bike left room for me to park beside it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
magley64 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 jefferson cops are funny, they follow me around town all the time... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zoner1320 Posted August 5, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 I love the fact that they will parallel you from the next block just to see if you do anything remotely crazy. If the speed limit is 25 and you are doing 24 on a bike you are a suspicious rider. If you are doing 26 you are speeding. Small town cops and rockets don't mix Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
troyec001 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Sure they do. As long as you don't live in the small town and know the roads get up and go. The cop hasn't seen that much action in years and you'll be 2 miles down the road before he blinks again.Or you'll get busted...either way it's a good story for us.

magley64 Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 lol, I love playing with them...whack open the throttle between side streets (so they think you're taking off) then u-turn before the next junction...I think they follow me mostly because of the stereo Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

12oclocker Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 Wow total f'king asshole there! That reminds me of back in the highschool days, there were some kids this one cop was always harassing, they ended up figuring out where he lived, and vandalized his cop car, and house and stuff, pretty crazy! But yeah, that cop is a prick. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DangBruhY Posted August 5, 2008 Report Share Posted August 5, 2008 That's crazy, because all the cops I know around the Dayton area are really cool with motorcyclist. Many of them have said that they don't even bother messing with bikes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sonavabeech Posted August 6, 2008 Report Share Posted August 6, 2008 A couple of weeks ago I was in Pickerington going down 256. I was planning on turning down Diley road ( I think ) to go to a friend's house. I turned onto the road and it was closed so I did a U-turn. Copper in the charger lit me up. He told me that U-turns aren't allowed. (after looking around, I didn't see any signs) I told him that I didn't know the road was closed and asked what was I suppose to do. (Run through the road closure signs?) His response was that the road had been closed for a while. I told him that I didn't live in the area and he then asked what I was doing in the area. I did not respond. He took my DL back to the cruiser then comes back to tell me to have a nice day.So what the hell was I suppose to do? Sit there and wait until the road opened???Ok, end of cop rant......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

F4iBunny Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 LOL! WTF? That's the most ridiculous reason to stop someone I've ever heard of! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lost Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Sounds like LEO in your area are pricks and just looking to make some money. If you have some time go and fight it. I imagine you could probably get out of it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 9, 2008 Report Share Posted August 9, 2008 Gosh, I used to park on the sidewalk all the time. The only time I got a ticket, I was hiding the bike behind some shrubbery next to a brick wall, on the OSU campus, lol. Didn't care, I kept parking there anyway.While living on campus, a big story about a ticket got around. Guy on Chittenden or similar, would turn, go up the curb, cross the public sidewalk, up his sidewalk, up his front stairs, and park on his front porch. He got a ticket. Duh, we used to do that stuff all the time, always wondered why they picked on him. Maybe we looked first, to make sure the coast was clear.

John Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 did they see him drive it up there? or is it illegal to have a bike on your porch?if they didnt see him do it, how do they know he didnt roll it up? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ReconRat Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 Yeah, the cop saw him do it. That kinda makes it easier to figure out "who" to give the ticket to.Come to think of it... about that same time, somebody had run from a stop, by going between houses and getting away, in that same area. Maybe they thought it was him. Maybe they were right. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John Posted August 10, 2008 Report Share Posted August 10, 2008 ahh i see now... i thought it was a parking ticket from one of those homo meter maids or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
