i got arrested yesterday. my friend and i were on a bicycle (i was on the handlebars he was peddling and a cop pulled us over. now the kid had stolen the bike the night before from around the same spot and we couldnt understand the french that he was yelling at us. he searched us, cuffed us, and put us in the back of the cop car the bike in the back. we got to the station and had to fill out our personal info and got our picture taken, and made to wait in the interrogation room for an english speaking cop.After thirty minutes of us freaking out in the interrogation room a english speaking cop showed up and said, "we are holding you here for your crimes against geneva, both of you were caught riding with out a helmet, riding with out the proper bicycle registration, and for having more then the specified people on the bicycle" so we asked him what the punishment was and with a perfectly straight face said 22 francs each (22 francs=22$). we had to wait for our parents to pay it, we could not pay even though we had the money.we freaked out for about 45 minutes before we found out that it wasnt because the bike was stolen or what ever and how serious they were was funny.

i dnt steal. the kid who i was on the bike with stole it the night before while i was at a party. i just thought the laws were stupid. the bike registration was 20 francs at the post office you give them the money they dnt take your name down or anything and give you a sticker its just another way to collect money. i can understand riding with out a helmet, kinda, but they made such a big deal out of 2 kids riding on a bike together that it was funny and sad.

Unbelievable...They shoulda kicked your ass, thrown you in the pokey overnight for riding on a bike you knew was stolen, and then made you shine their shoes.
