wanna freak the hell out of some people, do this
 

or rather dont, was an intresting day yesterday.

So it was georgous out and I decided to ride. barrowed a friends bike, as i was leaving i realized i had to go to the bank. got off the bike pulled out the check i needed to deposit, had my hands full so i waited till i got inside to take off my helmet, which didnt happen until I got to the little deposit table. So there i am in full leathers(2 piece suit) a helmet, standing at the deposit table filling out the form, then I decide to take off my helmet. as I begin to do so I hear a voice asking me to stop and place my hands on my head. Thininking it was one of my friends i proceed to lift off my helmet and am there after flattened on the floor by a cop who easily weighs 300 pounds and built like a line backer, and am cuffed. now Ive never ever EVER been in legal trouble other than tickets.

After being dragged downtown(all of 2 miles) the little town that i live in and explaining that i had no intention of robbing a bank they drove me back to my bike.

apperently as soon as i walked in with my helmet on they called the cops, Precinct is 2 miles from the bank, took all of 2 minutes to get there.

So that was intresting, just thought id share.

We were hunting the other day and needed to hit the ATM....... :D

Good to know you still have good community security.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

A good lesson learned. Always remove helmet before entering bank. Good thing you did not get tasered.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I travel to the bank all the time on my bike. I have to remind myself to remove my lid all the time.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

We had a bunch of change to take into the bank one day so we threw it into a duffel bag to carry it in... talk about getting a lot of attention when you walk into the bank ....

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

yup, I usually do, but never really thought anything about it when Ive gone in other places with my lid on till I can clear my hands or something, something that will change now.

And when they told me to put thier hands on my head they didnt say they were police, so thats why i thought it was my friends screwing with me.

meh, lesson learned

Stopped by the Gas Station for coffee on the way to the range.

THAT was an interesting day.

Friendly reminder - go STRAIGHT to the range, then STRAIGHT home.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

ok i need more info here

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I am surprised he did not announce themself as a police officer.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

as was I, thought honestly, since i tend to just ignore everyone in the bank, i may have missed it. Dunno

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Whoa. Luckily that's all that happened.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

yup! Just to clarify im not upset, more just thought it was a good story, it was a dumb move on my part.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Ouch! Good thing it ended well! :tu

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

My bank has a large sign on the front door reading
"NO helmets, hoods, sunglasses allowed inside"
.
.
.
I told the teller I added "underwear" to the sign.:ss

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

question, why the hell would they call the cops for having a helmet on?

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I've gone into liquor stares and gas station stores without taking off my helmet before, but I never thought it was threatening.
Something to thing about.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Cant see your face, cant tell who you are, and when you are in full leathers, Gloves, Boots, they cant even tell what color you are, hell i could have been purple. all security! They thought i was going to rob it, they had to check out my house after they brought me in, and my car, and bike, and bags. Ya take your freaking helmet off. wasted my whole day.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

That's one benefit of not wearing a helmet. ;) :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

:hm Are there that many bank robberies by helmet wearing thieves in your town? Seems like they’re a little paranoid.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

small conservitive town. and yes, very very paranoid at this branch. not sure why, but hey, I guess its a good thing

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

wear a helmet Tom...WEAR YOUR GEAR! :dance:

and with that, im gonna run away from you and hide yous a scary dude.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

We actually had a bank robbed by a couple guys on motorcycles recently. They came in wearing helmets and full riding gear, brandished a gun and took off with the cash. They were not caught either. Maybe not so paranoid. Not bashing you though, as that sounds like something I'd do.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

tsk tsk.....always wear a helmet! Tom may be big and scary, but this is the interwebs, I'm tough.;)

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Is this my Dad posting under an alias??? :r :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

yup, hey girls dig my leather suit! its the assless chaps I had to stop wearing...

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Tom wasn't there to tase him :r
how much drinking before you go into stares? :fu

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Maybe you can ditch the helmet for a brimmed beanie. ;)

This time. :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Unless you had a gun on you, I don't see the point of the rest of what you're talking about. They HAD to check out your house?

I'm sorry, but I'd be on the phone with a lawyer after that. I'd be thrown in prison if they searched my house. Not because I had done anything wrong, but hell, they walk into my house, see a few gun safes and loads of ammo and you know damn well what they'd think. Legal as it may be.

Yea it's great for a bank to be proactive against a threat, but assaulting you prematurely, then after establishing you weren't a threat, keeping you in cuffs, then violating your privacy on a number of levels thereafter. What country is this again?

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

last year that made it ilegal to have a helmet on in a bank here

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

it wasnt a big deal. I mean I would have done the same probably. bonehead move on my part.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Find the box for the helmet and give it away/sell it before it does you harm again. (assuming of course it is new and unused for a period of time)

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Cant, helmet laws...

Hey! I was only following the law!

wonder if that would have worked?:rolleyes:

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I tend to agree. Once cuffed, they check you out, no gun, no ransom note, no other weapons, a good excuse (sorry man, I plumb forgot and was taking it off when you came), they should have patted you on the back and let you go about your business. Anything else is overkill. If they wanted to look at your house from the outside, no problem, anything inside they need a warrant, unless you have weed plants visible from the street or some other cause. Yeah, you should have taken the helmet off, but what threat were you? Have a gun? Have a knife? Seriously .... makes me wonder.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

:tpd:

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

note to self....no helmit in bank :)

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I think the rest is what makes it a good story...bet he wont forget to take his helmet off now :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Sounds like a violation of the 4Th Amendment.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Now THAT made me laugh. :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I believe it violates some federal law that went into effect after 911 (maybe).

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Same reason you cant forget to take your ski mask off on a really cold day :r

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Not if Brad gave consent. ;)

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Brad, why did you give consent

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I don't know if he did, I am just saying there is no violation if he did.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

I would venture to say he did my guess is most people do.

Re: wanna freak the hell out of some people, do th
 

Never assume anything, Perry, because when you do you make an ass....ah, you know the rest. :r
