Brad, the guy getting the ticket physically rode ON the highway while the other guy is jumping OVER the highway. So he was not ON the highway and thus no ticket. :laf:
:laugh2:
I wonder how it'll all go over if the video is seen back at dispatch :laf:
There wasn't any video there when I looked at it before Semp! :laf: Makes more sense now.
If you really wanna get technical the guy launching over the highway is on the highway he is using the highway to launch and is touching it, but if i was the cop woulda made the guy pull foward so i wasnt so close to that flying bike, but the one guy was clearly on the road. either one is dangerous , on the back side not launching very high
Consider this scenario:
You're on duty and get a call from dispatch telling you that they have gotten numerous complaints from motorists of motorcycles riding reckless on the roadway, jumping over the road and nearly causing accidents. You go out to the area, and sure enough, that's whats going on. So you get out with the riders and tell them that you don't want to be a killjoy, but people are complaining and they need to stay out of the way of the cars and try not to scare the other drivers and off you go. Ten minutes later you get another call. More complaints of the same thing, so back you go. Okay guys, we keep getting more calls. You have to stay off the roadway. If you can do that it will all be good and I won't have to do anything else, but I can't keep coming out here for this, and off you go again. Ten minutes later, guess what, more complaints. So this time you go out there and tell them, I'm trying to give you a break, but if I have to come back out here I'm going to have to do something. Don't be riding on the roadway, and off you go. Ten minutes later, here you go again, only this time the supervisor gets on the radio and says you damn well better do something about it this time. So you do. Now, you can substitute playing basketball in the roadway, or playing loud music, or skateboarding, riding bikes, or just standing in the road, or any number of other activities for the motorcycles, but the gist is the same. Some people just won't let you give them a break. Or it could just be the cop is a douche bag.

I actually thought of a similar scenario shortly after I posted the vid, Pat. You just couldnt help but to wonder what all took place.
This morning as I looked in on the thread, I thought to myself...ah crap! :doh2: Pats gonna think I'm a cop hating outlaw. Which I am, I' mean dont get me wrong :alscalls: :nono: :nono: <----kidding
:laugh2:
Yep. All you see is the pull over then the PO walking up to the biker. Coulda been an all day long problem out there. I think it was funny the way the biker kept trying to get the PO to do something about the other biker jumping the road. :laf: :laf:
Good cop or bad it doesn't really matter. The total lack of consideration for others driving on that road just isn't there. Appears to be a dangerous situation for innocent motorists.
:readthis: I have no personal experience as a PO. Just seein things different. :wink:
I really don't know what the guy did that was getting the ticket, but I would have sure tried to give a ticket to the guy jumping the road for something. If it were a road in a farmer's field or something like that I wouldn't have a problem with them jumping. But if it is a road that cars are usually driving on, it seems to me that it would be a major distraction to the driver of the car. If I were driving along and a motorcycle and rider flew across the road in front of me I would be startled and then not be happy.

It is too REAL. I saw it on the internet and since Jim posted it, it has to be REAL.

There's really nothing on the web as of yet, saying whether it is or isnt phony. Snopes doesnt even know of it yet.
It's only been publically available for a couple days.
I seen it on G4 television where they review the days top videos gone viral.
Its another photoshop (or photovideo'ed) job by Richard!!!! :alscalls:
