Wednesday, January 18, 2012 just before 4:06 p.m.
on Arizona Avenue and Warner Road a motorcycle pig
failed to yield me the right of way to me and
made a left turn and almost ran me over.
I was going north on Arizona Avenue and the motorcycle cop was going south on Arizona Avenue and making a left turn. No big deal I just rode my bike around him. But the piggy decided to arrest me and blame his traffic offense on me. The piggy ordered me to go back to the side walk and accused me of not obeying the traffic signal that said "not to walk". While I was in the middle of the street along with the motorcycle pig also being in the middle of the street the cop ordered me to go back to the sidewalk on the southeast side of Arizona Avenue and Warner Road. After I moved my bike back to the sidewalk the piggy followed me with his motorcycle which he rode onto the sidewalk. The light was green, but this is the first time I every hear a pig tell me that I had to obey the silly no walk sign. To be honest I don't know what the sign said. I do know the light was green and I had the right of way and the piggy didn't give it to me when he made his left turn. Oh well, looks like I will be suing the Chandler pigs this time. I was only arrested for 60 seconds or so. No biggy. But the jack booted police thugs should still know better then to falsely arrest people for trivial things. Arizona laws on bicycles28-646.

Photos of the crime sceneHere are some photos of the crime scene which was at Warner Road and Arizona Avenue.When you look at the photos you will notice that there are cameras on the traffic signals so I suspect this means the city of Chandler shot some photos of the false arrest with their photo radar spy cameras. |
