So we went to a railroad crossing in Carlsbad. Walked all over the tracks, hung off the light towers, T did some climbing....
About 20 minutes into our railroad extravaganza the Carlsbad Police shows up. Someone reported suspicious people on the railroad tracks. Yes that's right, suspicious...
And APPARENTLY being on the railroad tracks is a misdemeanor. Thats right, like a handcuffs and go to jail misdemeanor. Luckily the cop was a pretty cool guy and basically told us that he will run our info and if nothing came back on us he was just going to let us go. But he did want us to know that we were trespassing on government property and that if a train is going through there fast enough we can get sucked in and die.
Morbid. But I guess it was a good point.
Anyway, since my husband and I are outstanding citizens our checks turned out clean and the officer told us that he was sorry to stop us from filming but we had to get off the tracks. Then he left
After we left we were amazed that someone called the cops on us! It was so weird but made for a good memory...

That is nuts! Lol... my husband just graduated from the police academy so he'll be a cop soon! I told him he needs to be a cool cop and not lame haha!
I knew a nine year old boy that died because he was walking near train tracks. So, he has a good point, it can be dangerous!
But yes, there is some dumb people who enforce dumb rules.
