If i have 5 grams of weed in my hand and the officer says give it and i refuse then he grabs the weed then pushes me to the ground in a struggle and takes it, should i start complaining? He pushed me to the ground. Watch carefully and think about it. You cant really hear what the kid is saying, but the bits you can hear of the kid all you can hear is the kid giving him lip calling him dude man ect,talking back.
I don't think he can confiscate the board if he has stopped using it after being told not to.
The cop shoulda came over and said "Hey guys, could you please move on to another area, you're not allowed to skate here, sorry." and the kids should of went "yeah sure dude, see ya" and that'd be the end of it.
Instead the cop starts off the conversation completely wrong and starts abusing the kids.
