Default Cop impounded my 36er! Got it on FILM!!!


I was riding my 36er along a bike path earlier today, when I was stopped
by a cop-but there was something about this guy that just didn't seem
right. Long story short, he took some info, gave me a slip of paper and
said he was going to impound my 36er, and that I would have to wait 48
hours "claim it"! I'm thinking WTF!!!

Luckily, I had a friend tracking me with my camcorder while I was
riding, and he kept filming as this all happened! (Apparently the cop
either didn't notice it or didn't care that this was being filmed!
Out-FREAKING-rageous!

That's not funny. The same thing happened to me but for real- Toni
Haggart, a local community constable (police) impounded my expensive
unicycle under the false assumption that it was a skateboard under the
local council bylaw. I paid to get it back as I was on my way to the
juggling festival, but the second time they impounded it I refused to
pay, and I got it back eventually without paying. This was 6 years ago,
and I asked the Police Complaints authority to get her to give me an
apology, and they wouldn't. Lately she has been threatening other
unicyclists about not riding in town, even though none of the applicable
laws have changed.

Thanks I put a lot of time and effort into it. I actually had to post an
ad to hire an "actor who can also ride a unicycle". So this was by far
my most elaborate and co$tly production, lol.

Sorry to here that. I'm glad you got it back. I too have been unjusly
harassed by cops in the past, but I believe it's so important to have a
sense of humor, and this was all in fun, and my way also of lampooning
the way police can sometimes overstep and bully people. I'm happy that
most seem to like my video. It was totally for laughs. Here are some of
the YT comments that make me feel it was worth the time and $ to make:


vanpaun :
Ahahahahahaha! 5 stars, and a favorite! Your a comedic genius!


monocyclism :
I was firmly convinced it was for real! You couldn't have pulled it off
without such professional acting!

rollerblader59:
hahahahahahahahah

berehed :
i think this in yur best video ever terry!
5 stars

Here are some pics of the props I used. Making the helmet was a
challenge and my favorite prop. It's also how the idea started haha.

Great vid Terry!

But you do have far too much time on your hands! I can't even find the
time for a normal ride let alone a write, film, edit and produce on
modest budget a unicycle chase!

Keep doing it man!
