You see Sydney now is so dead if u compare it to the 80s n 90s n so draconian the police have nothing at all better to do than pull up ppl on there skate boards lol haha no im sorry but wat a pathetic city Sydney has turned into, Oh man only if u new n how Sydney was compared to now, wat a boring nanny city if iv ever seen one. 'Bring back the 90s anyday, at least. The Olympics in 2000 was the start of the end for a grouse city.like Sydney nsw 'i sadly dont even recognize the place n no im not talking about the building but rather the atmosphere n thats just to start wit.
well I guess the police could start with " do you have a mobility device permit for that?" and go from there instead of just assuming the worst, which is most cases let's be fair, buy would be still the right way about it.
I always thought Australia was a cool country until Covid hit they treated there citizens like they do in China. I also find it funny that the cop was talking to this guy as a skateboarder rode by.
Where was it just recently, a teenaged girl with a disability got removed from a public transport bus because she was riding a sit-down electric scooter trike looking thing? That angered me a lot.
You are riding down the tram line which is dangerous and a risk to the drivers of the trams .I e skate in the city and use the dedicated bike lanes where possible .Also mobility devices are speed limited to 10kn/h and avoid high pedestrians traffic areas like Pitt St Mall and George St as much as possible. Even with an exemption be prepared to be pulled over by the cops don't argue with them and show them your paperwork and they will let you go about your business
Mate all bicyclists use the tram line on George st and never get pulled over because there is no dedicated bike path on George st and it’s much safer for pedestrians that way I get pulled over most on footpaths when doing under 10 and get told it dangerous for pedestrians until they read my certificate, I do see your point but it is the best was to get through George st when I do need to go down it, and yes I do use bike paths when available it’s much better. Hopefully one day I bump into ya and you can join me for a skate
@@Esk8sta I see them regularly pull over food delivery riders on electric bikes if they are riding down the tram line , I ride a Stoke so probably more stealth than a Longboard with pneumatic tires . The middle of the tramway is not a safe place to ride especially on a eskate what happens if you fall off and a 2 tonne tram is coming down the track .Do us all a favour please .
I mean, copper to your right seemed fine. The initial one was ready for an argument, but thats honestly what they have ti deal with. I dont think they were dickheads.
@Esk8sta honestly, noting what was said by their 9/10 cases and you drawing attention to yourself zipping up and down the tram space, is it not expected for people them to be attentive? Like its no different to me having a highly modified car and being upset I draw their attention. It's a risk I own by participating in the activity. I don't see that being any different for you.
I wasn’t zipping down I was going barley 15k which is a slow jogging pace and he was just looking for any excuse after being wrong, all the bicycles use the line because of safety of pedestrians on George st, and I never see a bicycle pulled over and this happens to me sometimes on multiple occasions in a day no matter where I ride most times I get stopped is on footpaths and then the excuse is it’s dangerous for pedestrians until I show my certificate,even though I ride at now more than brisk walking pace on paths, I do see your point though on how it looks
It was harassment because he was being a little dick about it. Could have treated you way better and the interaction would have gone smoothly - I'm sure. Sorry you have to deal with this shit mate.
You should make a complaint. Maybe even contact a lawyer, I would think that once you made them aware of your disability they would have to have reasonable suspicion that you aren't disabled to lawfully be able to request your ID and detain you for their investigation. At the very least try if you cause a fuss about it they might put a memo out to educate the officers a bit more
@@Esk8sta yeah I'm Aussie, I doubt you could sue based on this interaction but it's worth contacting a one of those no settlement no fee lawyers, if they continue to repeatedly stop you after official complaints have been made it could be considered harassment. Either way if it's not reported they aren't going to educate their officers
No body can ride this or that anything and everything. Nearly every normal thing we did as kids is now against the law. So for kids today if every normal thing they want to do comes with punnishment why not just kick in doors and smash heads they are in trouble anyway no matter what they do. Police need to use their discretion better. Let the kids have fun. Politicians need to stop thinking about revenue and take time to think about what people want to enjoy without acting like NAZIS passing draconian style laws. FFS. Let us be Aussies again. 🙏
Seriously mate they are doing there job. I have the same certificate I've had it for few months now and haven't been pulled up to use it yet but they are illegal to ride in nsw you don't have a disabled sticker on ya forehead so how are they meant to know without checking ya certificate.
They could at least ask do you have a certificate not go straight for a fine, but yes they gotta ask to find out it just gets irritating when it happens on multiple occasions in a day
@@Esk8sta Yeah i see ya frustration. Here i am wanting to be pulled up just so i can use my certificate. Lol but yeah wouldn't be fun if kept happening I'm from the country they don't seem to worry much but not that many of us riding around here atm.
I can walk and balance well but only for a very short distance then my foot and knee blow up with fluid and I can’t walk for a while due to a motorcycle crash I had over 10 years ago, I didn’t get to explain that sorry
Get over yourself. The Police were terrific in this interaction and did nothing wrong. Thank you officers for the good work and to the video uploader, get over yourself.
Yea the poster knows he is antagonizing them, he just immediately gets confrontational with the first officer saying, its not illegal...its not illegal. When the first thing coming out of his mouth should be, I'm legally disabled, this is my mobility device, I'm exempt, I will show you by exempt papers now......end of the story....but NOOO he needs to make something out of it...for views!

Good on the Garbo. Garbos deserve a lot of respect keeping Australia clean and hygienic. Thanks to all Garbos you do a great service to Australia. 👍
I agree 💯
Absolute Nanny state!!!!
Yes New South Wales is 💯
That scrawny red head cop is a real piece of work
Calling a skateboard a motor vehicle is the only crime committed. HWP are the lowest form of policing.
I need me one of these disabled letters...

Hardcore policing, you would think that they have something more pressing to do 😵💫
Wow, they were half decent, very rare.
Haha cool video, love how you dealt with the cops!! 😂
Glad you enjoyed
well I guess the police could start with " do you have a mobility device permit for that?" and go from there instead of just assuming the worst, which is most cases let's be fair, buy would be still the right way about it.
Thank you mate!!! That’s exactly what I was thinking at bare minimum
I always thought Australia was a cool country until Covid hit they treated there citizens like they do in China. I also find it funny that the cop was talking to this guy as a skateboarder rode by.
The Cops didn't change, people finally stopped not noticing.
That police officer needs an attitude adjustment, he's giving all good cops a bad name, NSW HWP... classic.
The good thing is most officers are pretty cool💯
Good cops? 😂 good joke!!
They're trained to be like that
Nothing will stop till the general public rise up...
The first cop even has a Hitler moustache to make him even more tyrannical.....
Wow they did change that law, and you were in the right
Yes last February 👍
Thanks for the tour of Pitt St could you please go around the rocks and under the bridge that would be greatly appreciated good work
Will do
bloke in the viz is awesome
How do you go if you need to go through a shopping centre in Sydney? Does the security give you any grief?
Sometimes but after I explain the situation and as long as you ride at a slow walking pace everyone seems fine and kids are always happy to see you🛹🔋🚀
czcams.com/video/WI5l2dBXzlA/video.htmlsi=YKIFa4b40CDWt6TN this is the same officer from 6 years ago.
Yeah first thing that struck me swear I saw this tyrant pig from somewhere else
Lol as a kid skates past you going quicker than you would be how ridiculous
Where was it just recently, a teenaged girl with a disability got removed from a public transport bus because she was riding a sit-down electric scooter trike looking thing?
That angered me a lot.
That’s super wrong‼️
Draconian.

@@MrMattHendry I would guess their weight to be at least 20 tonne
Good job standing up for your rights mate. 👍
I mean, copper to your right seemed fine. The initial one was ready for an argument, but thats honestly what they have ti deal with. I dont think they were dickheads.
No I don’t think they were it’s just a little annoying to deal with 3 plus times a day
@Esk8sta honestly, noting what was said by their 9/10 cases and you drawing attention to yourself zipping up and down the tram space, is it not expected for people them to be attentive?

wait a min...esk8 is illegal in Sydney?
Yes I’m so sorry to let ya know the New South Wales government makes it illegal to esk8
Harrassing the cops
oh he turned the camera on after he named himself?
It was harassment because he was being a little dick about it. Could have treated you way better and the interaction would have gone smoothly - I'm sure. Sorry you have to deal with this shit mate.
Keep off the roads please.
Brother goto your local council & if they do nothing the media. Wish you well.
Thank you mate👍

If nothing happens contact rebel news
Hi mate that sound like a good idea I will look into it, I think it’s harder to sue here in Australia than elsewhere in the world👍

imagine not doing your job correctly, then when told youre doing it wrong your excuse is, "im not aware of this"
Wow
It does suck a bit especially when it happens multiple times in a day, but I do have to add most officers are really good
Another cop with learning difficulties, wonder if he has a medical letter.

What's wrong with your leg? You have good balance for someone who can't walk.
The doctors certificate states otherwise 👅🥾👅
