Hacky sack: threat or menace
Hacky sack can be kind od annoying, the sort of thing that we used to deal with by telling the players to "beat it" and perhaps suggesting they seek gainful employment. But then, 9/11 changed everything.
Ford said he and a buddy were lobbing a Hacky Sac back and forth in the fountain area outside the Boulder County Courthouse when Officer Colin Stephens approached.
Stephens asked for the footbag and requested the pair come sit by him, Ford said. The teens did as they were told, but asked if the officer had the authority to take their sack, according to Ford.
"He said it's evidence in a crime," Ford said. "He said you can't Hacky Sac on the mall."
Stephens, who couldn't be reached for comment Wednesday, escorted Ford to the Pearl Street police annex and issued him a $250 ticket for "releasing projectiles on the mall," according to Ford. He explained that the footbag is a projectile because it flies through the air.
I guess that's what happens when cops don't have any unsolved cases to keep them busy.
