Police officer requires youths to clean up the mess they made at bus shelter

Officer Jason Davis, You are a GOOD MAN, and this was probably more effect than sending these kids through the courts, my hat is off to you.

A little old-fashioned common sense - good for you, Officer Davis. Better yet, good for the young men who learned a valuable lesson.

Bravo!

I love it. A bit of old fashioned punishment..quick and to the point.

Edit: And I NEVER did anything like that when I was their age. (The hair is standing up on my arms. Does that mean lightning bolts are on their way?)

Sure, Doug, and I bet you never asked a complete stranger over the phone if their refrigerator was running or if they had Prince Albert in a can.

Billie, you must be clairvoyant. I remember where I was, who I was with and how old I was.

"Yes, it's running, why? Who is this?"
"Never you mind who I am! You better go catch it! (Fits of laughter...click)"

Way better punishment than court. Good job officer. Btw you always make me laugh! Weather channel just posted lightening coming your way.

Good job Officer!!! Way better punishment than court where they wouldn't have learned anything.

I love this throwback to how law enforcement dealt with this type of infraction "back in the day".

Fast forward to today - I wonder lawyer lawyer will be representing the parents in their lawsuits against BPD and this fine officer.......

That is quite the assumption Bob, and by the same token, I wonder if the officer or BPD didn't notify the parents of the options these young lads faced.

I know if BPD called me and informed me that one of my boys was involved, there would be no need to order the soap and cleaning supplies I would have purchased them myself and saved the taxpayers a few bucks. Then I would have thanked officer Davis personally while I stood by and watched my boys proceed with the cleaning process (Not to mention what further discussion we might have at home).

I agree this was a great move on this officer and this level of community involvement is just what we need more of, it builds trust with the youth and contact at this age doesn't have to be criminal.
HAHA BILLIE fay's drug store never let the Prince or Captain Black out of the CAN, I asked Lane's one time and they said they let him out and he is looking for you little #$@!& kids......
BATAVIA POLICE KEEP IT UP VERY COOL!!!

Last night my GF told me that when she worked at K-mart in Senca Falls many decades ago, a kid used to call her at the front desk and ask her to page Mike Hunt. She did it several times. She's much smarter now. I love you, Mary....

:-D

Scott, I'm assuming there was once a fay's drug store here, but I did a double-take when I read your comment because my name is really BILLIE FAYE. I was born in North Carolina and that's what my relatives call me. How weird! The comeback from the person at Lane's -- hilarious and quick-witted.

One time my sister and I called the operator and sang Jim Croce's "Operator" to her. She apparently wasn't amused and turned the phone off! We had no clue that she could do that. I don't believe that it was turned off long enough for my parents to find out but long enough for us to learn our lesson.
