Actually, we had a long conversation about the legal and civil liberties aspect of “enter this skatepark and we can search your bags.” Grover heard it was a special city ordinance passed. He asked a cop a but it and he gave a lame excuse that it was to stop tagging, as if kids showed up to skate with a bag full of spray paint. We all know it’s for drugs an alcohol. Rich thinks it’s discriminatory since the other public parks in Tigard don’t have a similar law. Someone should contact the ACLU and see what their take on it is.

Back to fun things. FInally made it there today. Weird but totally fun. The double coping thing that looks jacked in the pictures is actually much more easily negotiable than you would think. It was pinball alley there today, a couple of the bike guys were getting sour, but everyone was having fun. at one point there was about 600 years of skatin g experience in the park cause all the old guys came out of the woodwork. Fun times today. Very interesting park.

It also says that by entering the skatepark you agree that the police can search your bag. Police station is right next door. I’m sure this must be unconstitutional a line on a sign does not negate your rights. In the current climate of fatherland security, you might want to be careful about what you have in your bag.

Any lawyers want to weigh in on this?
