For anyone curious about the outcome… Plead guilty to a violation (not a crime, thus no criminal record). No fine. No community service. ---

> [@Beck](#): > > So if you plead guilty and received nothing, what was the point of them pressing charges besides wasting your time? My guess is the paper trail… They sure did waste a bunch of my time. The funniest part was I had to go to DRUG COUNSELLING for 3 weeks. “When was the last time you used drugs?” Never. “Marijuana is a drug” I know. “Ok, well when was the last time you’ve been drunk” Never. “Right. When was the last time you drank alcohol” Never. “We can’t help you if you don’t want to be helped” To be fair, getting busted isn’t really a surprise. I’ve made roughly 250 jumps in WNY from over 60 different things. Before you ask, no, I haven’t jumped the HSBC building. ---

> [@newman](#): > > My guess is the paper trail… That. They have to take this sort of stuff serious from a liability perspective. Failing to prosecute could be interpreted as some form of permission.

Did they just assume you must have a problem, since you were BASE jumping? I mean, if you actually had a drug or alcohol problem, I’d think it would be a hell of a lot less likely that you’d be BASE jumping. ---

Went out onto some ice and did some jumps. Apparently the ice is 3 feet thick. My car didn’t sink, so that’s nice. ![http://i.imgur.com/7H3PqCV.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/7H3PqCV.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/gvcNp6I.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/gvcNp6I.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/3h7kpSQ.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/3h7kpSQ.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/vv4eYle.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/vv4eYle.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/pkfz9NB.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/pkfz9NB.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/r3c3beN.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/r3c3beN.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/UFMpG5S.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/UFMpG5S.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/gR073KJ.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/gR073KJ.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/neSvvtf.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/neSvvtf.jpg) ![http://i.imgur.com/TUwzhtr.jpg](http://i.imgur.com/TUwzhtr.jpg) [Previous page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/base-jumping/213299.md?page=18) [Next page](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/base-jumping/213299.md?page=20)
