If for example they pick on you because you are hanging out at K-Mart then don't hang out at K-Mart? Rather than getting your back up, just move on. Why is there a belief that if you don't like a law or behavior, you just break it in defiance?
this is what i mean
1 why should we move on when no laws have been broken?
2 where do we go to another kmart?
3 do we just stay home off the streets?
i enjoy meeting up with mates for a chat and hangout would the police prefer me to be driving round abusing ppl and bashing old ladies and steeling cars and getting drunk/stoned and causing problems I'm sure they don't really want that so why cant they drive in stop say hi guys whats happening and we say just chilling out they say yeah no probs be good and then they drive off
we would all respect them a lot more if they did this
instead of driving in and yelling MOVE ON NOW and then 5 secs later they scream I MEAN NOWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW and then we just all leave and go elsewhere
how rude and dumb are those type of police absolute wankers from hell
I hear what you are saying. I appreciate that it's difficult when the coppers can be seen to be picking on you. Over keen coppers can be a problem, however there are times when tactics employed are because of a bigger problem. That is the nature of things today unfortunately.
It's like airports, we know you aren't a terrorist, but everyone is going to be treated like a possible threat and security measures are going to be enforced. Even in this environment, there are overzealous security staff and Federal officials that increase peoples frustration and raises tempers.
Don't, though tell me the alternative to hanging out with your ride is getting stoned, drunk abusing old ladies and stealing cars. That's a silly example.
You don't have to break a law to be asked to move on. why hang out where you are going to be targeted? Surely there is more alternatives to K Mart? Sometimes people in groups can be intimidating, Police might think that's not worth the trouble and that's why they are moving you on?
Maybe You could go down to the Cop Shop and in a sensible way not mentioning any sort of victimisation that is there a way for us to hang out that would get us in the bad books? As long as you don't sound like a sook when you do it it might even work!
