Watch NYPD Crackdown on Sidewalk Biker Lead to an Arrest
What's the best way for the cops to make their war on bikers look reasonable? Follow up ticketing a man for riding on a sidewalk (for a few feet) as he approaches his friends' house by arresting the onlooker who cracked a joke about it. See, that way everything else seems sensible by comparison. Friendly quips like, "You a grown man; you know that's against the law"? Them's fighting words to the NYPD.
