naughty me

[Knight Theamion]

Saterday night I was going into town with a housemate, by bike, as per usual. However there is a fair (was actually, as it now is monday) and it was not allowed to ride your bike 'downtown', ofcourse we did and we got a ticket for it by some local police agents.
In fact I was looking at a policeofficer, female and descented from my bike and she wanted to let me off with it, but her colleague ****ed us over. However, she wrote my birthday wrong.

Which makes this ticket invalid, as far as I know.

It ain't illegal unless you get caught, and even if you get caught, they have to properly catch you I guess.

It's illegal to ride a bike in to town?

I should've been more clear.
Because of the fair, normal passages and streets were barred from bicycles, normally you can ofcourse ride your bike there.

whenever the police stops me for not having lights on my bike or whatever i always use the following tactic:

1. act surprised;
2. have a discussion about why they shouldn't give you a ticket;
3. listen to their story;
4. keep argueing a bit;
5. in the end, admit they are right and that you're wrong;
6. get a sad look on your face, acting like you expect a ticket.

(this all saved me from getting a ticket about 6/7 times now).

He kept the receipt and insurance card on him at all times, but it didn't help him much. In the end he went to the papers, and got some release.

This post goes some way to explaining why the Norwegian on my course at uni is such a racist.
