Controversial Encounter Between Perth Amboy Police, Juveniles Riding Bicycles Caught On Camera

A controversial encounter between police and a group of kids riding bicycles in New Jersey was caught on video. Officers detained a juvenile who was part of a bike rideout on the streets of Perth Amboy; CBS2's Lisa Rozner reports.

As a black American, i see what the Activist is saying but these kids get pretty rowdy and think they can talk to anyone however they want. They were being pretty reckless. Getting treated that way is a consequence.

[@drumtwo4seven]

AMEN

[@burt0164]

Fuck yeah. People need to know when to shut up and listen instead of "Fighting the man" If you aren't from the neighborhood get the fuck out.

[@tips4tourists790]

Still though, does that actually constitute an arrest? They're teenagers. Also, how many people a year get arrested for not having a bike licensed in Perth Amboy? Probably few people. Also, these laws are barely existent in other parts of the state and country. So why enforce that law, and detain a kid who isn't even from the area, regardless of if he did know or didn't?

However, you can't bring them back to NJ unless you declare them at the recently erected NJ toll stations. NJ working girls have dropped their rates to counter this competitive threat. A strike is obviously out of the question.

As the saying goes, take care of the small things and big things will take care of itself. Potential criminals started out small that they can get away easily. Nip that thing in the bud before they become a major problem for the community. Discipline starts with the family and the community. Teach the kids well and discipline them , if necessary. Everyone wants them to become a contributing citizen to the society. If they are disciplined, we have less issues to deal with and we'll have a happy life.

[@jhowardsupporter]

No. Didn't you hear the report? If you're of a certain color you can commit any crime you want. That's what I heard.

[@tips4tourists790]

I get that Perth Amboy may have their own set of statutes when it comes to their bike laws, but I believe that the way this kid was handled was very unprofessionally. Also, how many people actually get arrested in Perth Amboy for not having a license? Also, based on the full video I watched, it appeared that the kid was in custody only for backtalking the female cop, which is not a crime. And if he was prosecuted, why weren't the other teens? This was an unlawful detainment and all of those officers need to be off the force or heavily disciplined, preferably the former.

[@tips4tourists790]

@@azul8811 I don't know if there is a way to solve it. But clearly arresting kids and confiscating their bikes is not the way. People in NYC do that all the time and it never leads to arrests, and frankly it doesn't need to. Many states have the same issue but riding a bike recklessly ain't a crime there.

[@azul8811]

@@tips4tourists790 Well IDK. I never worked in law enforcement, but I think the purpose of law enforcement is to enforce the law. When there is no consequence for breaking the law there seems to be little incentive to abide by it. It’s funny, here in NYC if someone were to call an “undocumented” migrant an illegal alien with the intent to demean...they can be fined up to $250,000. But to deliberately ride bicycles with a pack of friends through traffic...well, what’s the big deal, really.... IDK
