[QUOTE="Cute Tink, post: 58493602, member: 5363"] I don't know if I agree that the officer was in the right here, based on the details you have given. I don't think "a relatively quiet residential street" is dangerous to ride a bike down. I guess I just don't agree with your premise. Walking, driving, riding a bike, etc. are all potentially dangerous. However, I find that involving CPS and potentially charging the mother with child neglect is incredibly irresponsible and damaging to both the mother and the child. [url=http://www.bhsi.org/stats.htm]Bicycle Helmet Statistics[/url] Bicycling in the US is not "dangerous". [url=http://www.cdc.gov/motorvehiclesafety/]CDC - Motor Vehicle Safety[/url] Riding in cars is. This cop would be better served spending his time pulling over, without cause, every parent and threatening them with child neglect charges and CPS calls for driving their kids to school, given his outlook on life.
