The children were on someone else's property, and the police officer had every right to ask them what they were doing there.
For all we know, the owner of the field may have complained about trespassers.
Quoting: goodmockingbird that is fucked up; kids were playing. when i was a kid, we made working longbows and crossbows, and practiced them in whatever field we fancied. Legal liability. If the kids get hurt on someone else's property, the property owner will get sued for the expenses. Most property owners do not want kids playing on their property for that reason. Nothing against the kids having fun. It's just too much of a financial risk to let happen. Go away "good mocking bird" You have your ideologies twisted if you think youre doing good. I stated the reality of the situation. No ideology involved. Our legal system allows anybody to sue anyone for anything. An open field likely qualifies as "an attractive nuisance" (legal term meaning, essentially, that kids are attracted to it). Kid gets hurt, property owner gets sued. Hopefully he has umbrella liability insurance (has nothing to do with umbrellas, means it covers just about everything). This is reality. Nothing good or right about it. The reality is property owners have to protect themselves financially, by forbiding trespass -- even by cute kids just playing.
