    I suppose that the options might be, (1} stop the little fool from
    reckless riding in, apparently, in auto traffic, or (2) cry over his
    casket when he gets killed by a car.

    Maybe they'll let him off with "time served." Time being the time he
    sat on the curb, in the police car and in the police station with
    handcuffs on. The look on his face says he's likely already learned
    his lesson.

    Seems rather overreach of the law, to put it mildly, a warning/advice sure
    but arresting and handcuffs?

    I the old days the cops you tell you to get off the property and stop
    being stupid. It sure is not the old days. Of course then we actually respected cops generally.

    My experience has been that a quick and somewhat brutal punishment
    best prevents reputation.

    And in the old days the Cop walked a "beat" and knew everybody in
    "his" area. Today they ride around in cars and don't know anybody.
