A Police officer stopped me tonight, and I have questions regarding to what he did? Please help...? |
Ok, so yesterday I got a new BMX bike and tonight I decided to take it for a ride... I'm riding through a closed store's parking lot in the front and a cop truck with two officers stops me... One of them gets out, and the conversation goes like this... "What're you doin man?" "Riding my bike." "Where do you live?" "*name of county*" "Well get the f*** out of *county I am riding in*, get the f*** outta here! You have no business here!" "Ok." They leave and I caught the license plate, but not the badge number or his name. Was he allowed to tell me to leave, and use the profanity that he used? What should I do? Thanks for reading, and please help me out! Well being that you are a juvenile and your out at night you could have been picked up and put in juvenile jail. You shouldn't have been out at night in the first place. True they didn't have to curse you out and they are to show some respect. They have the right to tell you to leave simply because you were in a closed store's parking lot. For all they know you were going to rob it and yes juveniles can rob places on bikes...had one rob a store on a skateboard before..and out ran the cops. It was sad. Simply put...do not go out at night and ride your bike in a closed store's parking lot. Next time they might arrest you or worse. Also if you have the tag information then use it to get the officer that did that to you and get him suspended for a few days. He should have been more respectful. Source(s): Juvenile jail officer. Is a police officer allowed to do what you described in your question? Well I don't think that the question should be are they allowed to, since technically, no, they would be out of line with their actions towards you if indeed they treated you like you say they did. Now, is there anything you can do about it, not really, since it will be your word against that of TWO officers, and who do you think that they will believe. You will more than likely cause yourself more problems if you persue taking action on this then if you just let it drop, unless you have another witness that will back up your story or you have a tape or something to prove your side of the story. that dsnt sound very nice, but if you are riding a bike at night you must have a light and bell. technically they could have arrested you. Dude! don't lie. It depends. You may have been legally trespassing (in which case, they should have simply asked you to leave the premises), but I'm not even sure about that. He also probably can't tell you to "get the f*** out, but I doubt that your complaint would be paid attention to. He's just an asshole. What he definitely can't do is tell you to leave the county. You might want to file a complaint anyway, even if they won't do anything to him. Sounds like a fairy tale told by a little boy. |
