An interaction with police on my electric skateboard 🛹🔋🚀‼️

[@hellohello8556]

Good on the Garbo. Garbos deserve a lot of respect keeping Australia clean and hygienic. Thanks to all Garbos you do a great service to Australia. 👍

[@Esk8sta]

I agree 💯

[@bluckfox]

@@Esk8sta if was an nsw police office i will ask you about your electric skateboard i know about your lage

[@Username97252]

Is this the same cop who unlawfully arrested a man for “offensive language”?

[@MrBurgertron]

That scrawny red head cop is a real piece of work

[@Rightomate]

Calling a skateboard a motor vehicle is the only crime committed. HWP are the lowest form of policing.

Yeah first thing that struck me swear I saw this tyrant pig from somewhere else

[@byronwalsh6505]

Bro I'm on a disability pension and my scooter is my mobility aid,here's how it was told to me by a motorcycle officer(he was a good cop)rare as it may be these days,I can do 25kms in a 40km zone and 10kms in a 50km zone he thought it was stupid too,I ride safely am always slow down to just keeping me upright near any pedestrian's

Absolute Nanny state!!!!

Yes New South Wales is 💯

[@CokefishR]

I need me one of these disabled letters...

[@TubingYoutube-i2d]

You see Sydney now is so dead if u compare it to the 80s n 90s n so draconian the police have nothing at all better to do than pull up ppl on there skate boards lol haha no im sorry but wat a pathetic city Sydney has turned into, Oh man only if u new n how Sydney was compared to now, wat a boring nanny city if iv ever seen one. 'Bring back the 90s anyday, at least. The Olympics in 2000 was the start of the end for a grouse city.like Sydney nsw 'i sadly dont even recognize the place n no im not talking about the building but rather the atmosphere n thats just to start wit.

[@davidgoodman5434]

Thanks for the tour of Pitt St could you please go around the rocks and under the bridge that would be greatly appreciated good work

[@Esk8sta]

Will do

[@phizicks]

well I guess the police could start with " do you have a mobility device permit for that?" and go from there instead of just assuming the worst, which is most cases let's be fair, buy would be still the right way about it.

[@Esk8sta]

Thank you mate!!! That’s exactly what I was thinking at bare minimum

[@cosmicavatar773]

I always thought Australia was a cool country until Covid hit they treated there citizens like they do in China. I also find it funny that the cop was talking to this guy as a skateboarder rode by.

[@TrainsovertheLittleParaRiver]

The Cops didn't change, people finally stopped not noticing.

[@nickdenton7367]

Nothing will stop till the general public rise up...

[@Heyomattyo]

Wow, they were half decent, very rare.

[@natashac2538]

Haha cool video, love how you dealt with the cops!! 😂

[@Esk8sta]

Glad you enjoyed

[@patstevo]

That police officer needs an attitude adjustment, he's giving all good cops a bad name, NSW HWP... classic.

[@Esk8sta]

The good thing is most officers are pretty cool💯

[@shagenshifter122]

Good cops? 😂 good joke!!

[@TrainsovertheLittleParaRiver]

They're trained to be like that

[@jaye6450]

stupid law nsw cant use e boards

[@Pabloworldwide]

Where was it just recently, a teenaged girl with a disability got removed from a public transport bus because she was riding a sit-down electric scooter trike looking thing? That angered me a lot.

[@Esk8sta]

That’s super wrong‼️

[@brooster3471]

Hardcore policing, you would think that they have something more pressing to do 😵‍💫

[@lamejokesman420]

Lol as a kid skates past you going quicker than you would be how ridiculous

[@jadedickson4284]

How do you go if you need to go through a shopping centre in Sydney? Does the security give you any grief?

[@Esk8sta]

Sometimes but after I explain the situation and as long as you ride at a slow walking pace everyone seems fine and kids are always happy to see you🛹🔋🚀

[@MrMattHendry]

You are riding down the tram line which is dangerous and a risk to the drivers of the trams .I e skate in the city and use the dedicated bike lanes where possible .Also mobility devices are speed limited to 10kn/h and avoid high pedestrians traffic areas like Pitt St Mall and George St as much as possible. Even with an exemption be prepared to be pulled over by the cops don't argue with them and show them your paperwork and they will let you go about your business

[@Esk8sta]

Mate all bicyclists use the tram line on George st and never get pulled over because there is no dedicated bike path on George st and it’s much safer for pedestrians that way I get pulled over most on footpaths when doing under 10 and get told it dangerous for pedestrians until they read my certificate, I do see your point but it is the best was to get through George st when I do need to go down it, and yes I do use bike paths when available it’s much better. Hopefully one day I bump into ya and you can join me for a skate

[@MrMattHendry]

@@Esk8sta I see them regularly pull over food delivery riders on electric bikes if they are riding down the tram line , I ride a Stoke so probably more stealth than a Longboard with pneumatic tires . The middle of the tramway is not a safe place to ride especially on a eskate what happens if you fall off and a 2 tonne tram is coming down the track .Do us all a favour please .

[@Esk8sta]

@@MrMattHendry cool thank mate I will take a bit more care👍🛹🔋🚀

[@Esk8sta]

@@MrMattHendry I would guess their weight to be at least 20 tonne

[@arconeagain]

Don't argue with them? They don't know the law and often don't even listen so create an argument. How else are you going to get anywhere without participating in the argument?

[@TheGustavFTW]

I mean, copper to your right seemed fine. The initial one was ready for an argument, but thats honestly what they have ti deal with. I dont think they were dickheads.

[@Esk8sta]

No I don’t think they were it’s just a little annoying to deal with 3 plus times a day

[@TheGustavFTW]

@Esk8sta honestly, noting what was said by their 9/10 cases and you drawing attention to yourself zipping up and down the tram space, is it not expected for people them to be attentive? Like its no different to me having a highly modified car and being upset I draw their attention. It's a risk I own by participating in the activity. I don't see that being any different for you.

[@Esk8sta]

I wasn’t zipping down I was going barley 15k which is a slow jogging pace and he was just looking for any excuse after being wrong, all the bicycles use the line because of safety of pedestrians on George st, and I never see a bicycle pulled over and this happens to me sometimes on multiple occasions in a day no matter where I ride most times I get stopped is on footpaths and then the excuse is it’s dangerous for pedestrians until I show my certificate,even though I ride at now more than brisk walking pace on paths, I do see your point though on how it looks

[@chilledoutinoz2425]

A.F.T.P. = ALWAYS FILM THE POLICE.... JUST SAYING ...

[@babek2104]

It was harassment because he was being a little dick about it. Could have treated you way better and the interaction would have gone smoothly - I'm sure. Sorry you have to deal with this shit mate.

[@tomp.55]

Wow they did change that law, and you were in the right

[@Esk8sta]

Yes last February 👍

[@hellohello8556]

Good job standing up for your rights mate. 👍

[@WorzelGummage79]

The first cop even has a Hitler moustache to make him even more tyrannical.....

[@alch3myau]

oh he turned the camera on after he named himself?

[@JoshDavies111]

You should make a complaint. Maybe even contact a lawyer, I would think that once you made them aware of your disability they would have to have reasonable suspicion that you aren't disabled to lawfully be able to request your ID and detain you for their investigation. At the very least try if you cause a fuss about it they might put a memo out to educate the officers a bit more

[@JoshDavies111]

If nothing happens contact rebel news

[@Esk8sta]

Hi mate that sound like a good idea I will look into it, I think it’s harder to sue here in Australia than elsewhere in the world👍

[@JoshDavies111]

@@Esk8sta yeah I'm Aussie, I doubt you could sue based on this interaction but it's worth contacting a one of those no settlement no fee lawyers, if they continue to repeatedly stop you after official complaints have been made it could be considered harassment. Either way if it's not reported they aren't going to educate their officers

[@markcroydon3195]

Get over yourself. The Police were terrific in this interaction and did nothing wrong. Thank you officers for the good work and to the video uploader, get over yourself.

[@davidjames5727]

Yea the poster knows he is antagonizing them, he just immediately gets confrontational with the first officer saying, its not illegal...its not illegal. When the first thing coming out of his mouth should be, I'm legally disabled, this is my mobility device, I'm exempt, I will show you by exempt papers now......end of the story....but NOOO he needs to make something out of it...for views!

[@fcukugimmeausername]

Keep off the roads please.

[@paddleboarddog]

Draconian.

[@Darryl.Harris]

wait a min...esk8 is illegal in Sydney?

[@Esk8sta]

Yes I’m so sorry to let ya know the New South Wales government makes it illegal to esk8

[@potterj09]

Brother goto your local council & if they do nothing the media. Wish you well.

[@Esk8sta]

Thank you mate👍

[@hellohello8556]

No body can ride this or that anything and everything. Nearly every normal thing we did as kids is now against the law. So for kids today if every normal thing they want to do comes with punnishment why not just kick in doors and smash heads they are in trouble anyway no matter what they do. Police need to use their discretion better. Let the kids have fun. Politicians need to stop thinking about revenue and take time to think about what people want to enjoy without acting like NAZIS passing draconian style laws. FFS. Let us be Aussies again. 🙏

[@brannonwinchester7054]

Harrassing the cops

[@giocattolo0126]

imagine not doing your job correctly, then when told youre doing it wrong your excuse is, "im not aware of this" Wow

It does suck a bit especially when it happens multiple times in a day, but I do have to add most officers are really good

Seriously mate they are doing there job. I have the same certificate I've had it for few months now and haven't been pulled up to use it yet but they are illegal to ride in nsw you don't have a disabled sticker on ya forehead so how are they meant to know without checking ya certificate.

[@Esk8sta]

They could at least ask do you have a certificate not go straight for a fine, but yes they gotta ask to find out it just gets irritating when it happens on multiple occasions in a day
