Skateboarding is not a crime!!

Strip Mall Concrete Under My Feet, Handcuffs on my Wrists

So I was put in handcuffs today by the PD!
I was riding my skateboard to the Ralphs to pick up some green peppers and a loaf of bread when a po-po motorcycle pulled next to the sidewalk where i was riding.
The cop told me I 'shouldn't be skateboarding here.'
I told him I was sorry and informed him that I was only on the way to the store.
I continually addressed him as 'sir' and kept a good attitude the whole time--i had nothing really to worry about.

He asked me if he could search me: I told him I'd rather him not. He did not respond to me but called for backup. Was then put in cuffs and forcibly searched. Most illicit items found by the cops: my iPod, the 10 dollar bill in my pocket. He went through my wallet and found my law school ID. Asked me some bullshit asshole questions about law school.

He then wrote me a ticket for crossing a street when the light was red (?) and told me to "get my skateboard and get out of here."
