I have been meaning to post this for a couple of weeks now. I was sitting in the grass one sunny afternoon in Pullman and I see this skateboarder coming down the street, following directly after him I see a cop. Who promptly instructs the skateboarder to pull to the side of the road. I was fully curious at this point. Did they know each other? Was there a warrant for the skateboarders arrest? Hmmm. Well it turns out that there was no warrant out for his arrest, the cop pulled him over for running a stop sign! Yeah! He even tried to get the guys ID. I could not believe what I was witnessing. So for all you skateboarders out there, especially those in Pullman. Here is how to stay out of trouble with the police, and what you should have if you happen to get in trouble.
1. Don't Drink and Skate; there could be serious legal consequences!
2. Look both ways before crossing the road or going through an intersection (may want to have a friend guide you across the street).
3. Stop at all stop signs you may encounter and only cross the street when it is clearly your turn.
4. Wear a helmet, you may want to add elbow, knee, wrist and shin guards also.
5. Don't apply makeup or fix your hair while skating.
6. Remember your drivers license (just in case).
7. Last but not least; try not to run into a car or pedestrians. If you do serious charges may be brought against you.
