kids bike edmonton image
Q. About a week or two ago my friends and I were skateboarding, longboarding, and biking in a parking lot on the south side of Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. Two people started yelling at us and told us we had to leave because it was private property, so we left (I'm not lieing to seem like a good kid with a better case, this is the %100 truth).
My friend and I decided to split up from the group of three other people we were hanging out with and go beatbox and rap old songs by Eazy-E, Snoop Dogg, NWA, and Tupac. When out of nowhere a police car pulled up right beside us, with the brake calibers burning. They quickly got out and asked us what we were doing. I replied, "We were just hanging out, we were going to go sit over there and rap." The officer then told asked if we had been in the parking lot behind us. we told them yes. They then asked if we had gone into the parkade, and we replied no. they asked for ID and one officer started typing our names into the computer, while the other continued to watch us. We were told to sit on the grass and wait, so we did. (by this time we were told there was a complaint about kids going into the parkade) The officer asked us if we were with anybody else, and we told them yes, three buddies, one from out of town. The officer then asked what was in my backpack, I told him I had some cologne, and a few other things, I couldn't exactly remember. The cop then asked if he could see, so I agreed. (I know I could have said no, but I really just didn't want to deal with this guy anymore) So I unzipped my backpack, and he looked in, asking me to pull things out, and I did. (I had a few loose papers that I had never cleaned out of my bag, a Dollorama cap gun frum a school project, two bottles of cologne, a flash USB drive, and a baton) The officer asked to see the baton, swung it out, and said, "You are under arrest for possession of an illigal weapon." He then asked me to stand by the cruiser, so I did, and he placed hand cuffs on me. I then told him I had bought it at Sanfransisco in West Edmonton Mall twice. but he refused to listen. My friend then butted in as I was saying it a third time, and vouched for me saying he was with me. (also the truth) The officer then turned to me and said alright then. meanwhile many other cruisers came and all the officers just stood in a circle and talked for a while. I was told to sit on the grass, where I was eaten alive by mosquitoes. Eventually the officer asked where he could find the other people we were with, and we tried calling them, but one of the kids lived across the street, so my friend pointed, and two officers escorted my two friends, and the one friends' parents out. One of the officers was carrying my baton, and my friends dad pointed to me, asked something, and then the officer replied looked at the baton, waved it to him, and then brought it back to his hand. Somewhere along the line we were told that we were being detained for break and enter, and I was under arrest.
Eventually my friends dad asked if My friend and I could get off the grass because the mosquitoes were swarming us. (previously an officer had reached into the trunk of the cruiser infront of us and sprayed himself with mosquitoe reppellant.) Another officer who came out of nowhere said sure, realeased me from my hand cuffs, and let us stand on the cement. The officer that arrested me then came back, said that there were no cars found broken into in the parkade, so we were free to go, and then told me that he was just going to confenscate my baton, and that would be the end of that, a small conversation followed, where I was told not to carry any weapons, becuase they are for empowering the user.
Here is my list of why I want to sue:
1. They had stopped us for no reason, we had never been in the parkade, and if the complaint said we were in the parkade, then they had no reason to hold us.
2. If I was placed under arrest with the intent to be let free, why was I placed in handcuffs. This is public embarrassment.
3. I bought the baton at a store, if it is for sale in a store, how could it be illigal.
4. They took my baton, and didn't arrest me? shouldn't I be getting it back?
5. We were forced to sit on the grass where the mosquitoes were, not even given the choice of standing, or sitting on the cement, or offered mosquitoe repellant. This seems like cruel and unusual punishment.
6. We had been detained for around 15 minutes before they told us why.
7. According to the YCJA (Youth Criminal Justice Act) my identity should be protected if I commited a crime. I'm not %100 sure, but I would assume that one of the officers had told my friends parents that I had committed a crime, and that it was possession of that baton.
8. We were detained for an unreasonable reason. Break and Enter. We were on a parking lot. To me that seems like the best they can do is tresspassing, That aside we left when we were told it
By the way I basically want to due it to make a point, I understand your answers so far, but I am doing this to tell cops they can't be dicks about everything. And My biggest point is that they told somebody that I was under arrest, that is illegal and I know it! somebody canadian please help out.

Answer
You're in Canada. Who knows what goes on up there. See, here in the US, we had the courage to kick the Brits out, which means we now have a Constitution and rights. Americans have learned to use that great legacy of law and freedom to sue each other over every little injury, real or imagined. You guys apparently enjoyed blowing King George, so you get whatever's good for you.
All that aside, I don't think you have a case. What are your damages? Your feelings are hurt? Listen kid, everyone on this board has been stopped by some pig and harassed. It's called life. Chalk it up as a learning experience. Just thank god you're not black in south central LA.
Sue? Ha! Boy, you definitely sound like one of us!
