OK, I am from Baltimore City. It is not illegal to own a dirt bike, but it is illegal to ride one on city streets, or city parks. The little boy was sitting on a brand new dirt bike his mom bought him. He was sitting on the sidewalk on the front of his house. The police then grabbed him off of the bike, and took him to Central Bookings, one of the worst places to be in Baltimore, even for a criminal.
Today on the news the Police commissioner stated that they completely followed the procedures when it came to the child and they did nothing wrong.
Now, I cant see why they didn't just have some compassion for the child and leave him alone. The motor was not turned on, and he was on his property. Am I wrong for being on the child's side?
