"Prevent Crime and Maintain Peace" are the words on police vehicles in our town. Yesterday, the Police Department was having a ceremony at a picnic pavilion in the main park. The Chief, Mayor, Ward Leaders, etc. were in attendance along with the honorees and their families.
A young man, of my acquaintance, chose that moment to drive through the parking lot on his newly acquired 2 cycle, unmuffled, gas powered noise making GoPed. Lovely toy; you can hear it two blocks away.
Very quickly the GoPed rider was involved in conversation with one of the officers not attending the function. Rather, his patrol area included the park and surroundings.
My friend was allowed to push his machine the two blocks to his home. Promises were made as to the consequences should he be found riding the machine on city streets.
Our town is around 33,000 residences and twenty square miles. We have an excellent police department overall. Noise ordinances are enforced, especially car sound systems. My friend is very lucky to not be cited.
To bad the police can't shove.........

I have heard this man that writes this blog, M'er F our local police department atleast one million times. Let me fix some of things he wrote wrong. First i was able to ride my go ped home while the cop followed behind me. Second this man is old and every thing up sets him. He would yell at a bird for landing on his window sil. The fact is the officer that busted me is old too, and while he was busting me 15 people got robed and 1 person got shot, i was riding a goped. good job officer, you changed the world.
Question...at what point do you have so little to live for that you have to make sure others as sad and depressing as you are? Well seasoned fool knows the answer for sure..
It could be worse, you could find your self across the border in canada because you were trying to take a picture of some thing boring...
Watch him delete this...
Wrong, cupcake, your rant is published.
Gotta love "generational" differences, obviously the young man thinks he did nothing wrong... :-)

We should all be tolerant of another's "fun" I suppose. No concern that the neighborhood is full of shift workers trying to sleep. Lots of DIA workers live here.
It was 4:30 on a friday afternoon. excuse me. Lets all stop every thing for shift workers. I know WSF dont care about shift workers as well. There were many other annoying things to wake them up like car boom boxes and 747's rocketing during take off over our fair city, broken old trash trucks driving way to fast through ally, old ford escorts rattle traping down the streets, geo trackers blowing head gaskets out, the police flipping there berries & sirens on to get through the school zone faster, local roofing company's banging around fixing hail damaged roofs, or MY FAV the train that comes though town every 15 seconds that blows its whistle 100 million times. Wood peckers, random black birds scavenging for food, excel energy trucks working on things outside, the wind, kids playing in the street, people mowing lawns, people cutting down trees with chain saws..ect...an im the one making all the noise? please
