4 year old told by Police its illegal to ride bike on pavement

[shaunbhoy]

A 4 year old girl and her parents stopped by traffic police that it was illegal for her to ride her small bike with stabilisers on the pavement. police said they'd confiscate bike if she got back on it.

Seriously, have the pigs got nothing better to do say, like catch a few taxdodging scumbags?

FTFY

Assuming it is illegal then she is a crim. At what age does it stop become acceptable to break the law? 5? 6? 10? 16? 18? 21? 35?

Well for a start, you need to look up the minimum age that someone can be charged for a crime. Last time I checked, 4 year old didnt cut it. Also, she'd have to be charged to be determined as a crim so no, another massive fail for you.

But, it still raises the issues, have they nothing better to do than worry a 4 year old?

No, silly me, 3 reliable police witnesses would have seen you initiate an unprovoked assault on a police officer.

Quite. They really are useless ***** and I hate them

I do not hate them but some of the seem to forget they are there to serve the public as opposed to rule the public.

Isn't that a criminal offence?

As I explained - twice - no, it doesn't.

While a kid a stabilisers should IMHO be allowed to ride on the pavement, older kids and adults should not. If nervous about riding a bike on the road then you shouldn't be riding a bike at all.

My opinion on this topic was cemented when an elderly neighbour of mine was killed outside her house when hit by some plonker riding his bike on the pavement.
