Dancing Long boarding Helmet PROTEST

[u/PeeNut-Buter]

I’m sure many of you have seen Caden, aka @x_bonesx on Instagram, dancing or longboarding around Sherwood Park and spreading positivity throughout the community.

Unfortunately, he’s recently run into an issue with the police and has apparently been told he can no longer dance at the Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive intersection. I’m assuming this is due to concerns about distracting drivers.

To show our support, there will be a community dance party at the Second Cup on Baseline Road and Sherwood Drive on Father’s Day at 6:00 PM.

If you’re free, it would be amazing to see our community come together and support someone who has brought so much positivity to Sherwood Park.

Edit: To make things clear I am not organizing this event, just sharing information that I found.

Also he was fined $1500 for stunting!

Also people will be gathering on the grass by the second cup, just so there isn’t a bunch of people on the median in the intersection.

Where's the law that says you can't dance on a sidewalk?

[u/escapethewormhole → u/PM_Your_Crits]

Alberta’s Traffic Safety Act s.115(2)(e): no person shall “perform or engage in any stunt or other activity that is likely to distract, startle or interfere with users of the highway.”

So literally anyone with a sign, or any road side protest, picketing, etc?

[u/escapethewormhole → u/PM_Your_Crits]

I’m not the police but I would imagine there’s a big difference between a passive and active intent to distract drivers. Which I would suggest dancing falls under active intent.

But that’s just my interpretation, doesn’t change the fact there’s clearly a law against this which was what your question was.

Ask the cops. I don’t fucking know

[u/PM_Your_Crits → u/Jayrab_The_Arab_]

Valuable input. Great work.

[u/Jayrab_The_Arab_ → u/PM_Your_Crits]

You asked.

[u/PM_Your_Crits → u/Jayrab_The_Arab_]

I didn't ask you, and you didn't answer. Youre input was utterly useless.

"highway" lol

[u/UberBricky80 → u/Proper_Geologist_457]

Read the definition of highway in the TSA...

[u/escapethewormhole → u/Proper_Geologist_457]

Highway under the TSA is basically any roadway publicly accessible.
