Talking tough to a cop is going to do nothing but make the situation worse. He's lucky he didn't get tazed or shot cuz that's how they roll, they're not playing any bullshyt. I think it's total horseshyt that the cops would take it to that level, but unfortunately that is the world we live in. I don't agree with it, but in these situations over something as dumb as this, it is best just to smile and nod and get them away from you.
On another note, I just saw a dude buzzing around the airport in one of these on friday morning, and I will say dude was hauling ass on it. Where the hell did these come from all the sudden?
