I was riding my bike at the local skate park, this all happened last night, before my very eyes. It was entertaining to say the least.
First lets get everyone on the same page;
This is my skatepark setup. It is a park within a community park.
You can see the park, the grass, the skatepark, and the basketball court, parking spaces and walkways in the park.
So I was riding my bike and hanging out in the skatepark. Im sitting with a group of people and we hear a motorcyle coming down the left road in the picture and we all look over as the noise coming out of the exhaust was stupid loud (its debatable whether or not there was one even on.)
We instantly recognize this guy as hes been to the park before (long baggy shorts similar to kapri pants and a wife beater - total dirt bag), he usually meets some of the skater riff raff and hangs out with them.
99% of the time he parks in the spaces on the left in the picture and walks down the sidewalk into the park.
Not today.
Its important to note that there was a league basketball game on this night and the whole park was extra crowded with spectators. This Im sure had a great influence on his next actions.
He hopped the curb on the left side of the courts then proceeded to ride down the sidewalk. When he reached to where he was equivalent to the half court line on the sidewalk (pretty much the middle of the crowd) he grabbed a fist full of throttle for a second, which just about made the basketball game come to a screeching halt, and then parked his bike in the middle of the sidewalk directly off the left side of the skatepark.
In our circle of bikers we all looked at each other and simultaneously audibly said "What a douche." He heard us as we were only 10 feet away but he only pretends to be a cool tough guy it seems so he just kept walking towards is skate buddies.
He gets half way across the skatepark and stops dead in his tracks.
There is frequently a cop car parked in one of the spaces, on the right side of the picture, to keep down the drug use in the skatepark I suppose.
Now the squid is at a stand still and hes looking directly at the cop car that he just realized was there. I could visibly see the cogs spinning away in his tiny little head on how to proceed in this situation.
(This means he knows hes a jack*** and he knows its illegal but does stupid stuff anyway because hes a total bad*** and a rebel without a cause)
He, along with everyone else in the skatepark, noticed no one was in the cop car at this point.
He relaxed a bit at this point, but still had a cautious saunter towards his buddies.
Unbeknownst to him the cop was in the crowd of basketball spectators and has since then walked up to his bike and taken the keys out of it and radioed someone (dont know who at this point, but someone.)
As the aforementioned douche sits down he sees the cop...
A look of sheer terror comes over his face.
Out of utter embarrassment, I assume, the guy just sits there looking at the LEO for 5 minutes.
The officer finally walks over to him and has a conversation with him.
We couldn't hear the exchange because we were too busy laughing our faces off. It seriously began to hurt.
10 minutes pass and a second LEO shows up in a police labeled dodge durango..... towing a trailer.
The officer made this guy load his own bike onto the trailer that would inevitably wind up in the impound.
(I stressed this sentence in bold and underline because its the highlight of the story and should not go under appreciated)
The Durango with bike in tow left and the first LEO gave him what looked like 3 tickets and then went back over the basketball game.
What an awesome night.
