for him it was like speeding, you are eventually going to get caught. he has jumped off alot of things. Im sure there are thousands of base jumpers in his community who get caught pretty often. A good lawyer will get him probation and a fine… ---

> [@JayS](#): > > The problem is you’ll never see a lot of legal places to jump because of liability. No matter how much a jumper promises not to sue or agrees to sign a liability waiver some lawyer will find a way to sue the property owner if someone gets hurt. Even worse that lawyer will win and even if they lose the property owner will spend thousands defending themselves in court. Land of the free! Yeah, unfortunately I don’t think that there isn’t any public property worth jumping off of around here. ---

When it comes to getting the charges reduced or dropped he did the correct thing by complying with the officers request. If he had continued there would have been additional charges simply because the cops would have been butt hurt he disobeyed their orders. ---
