Umm, let's see here. Someone sees someone on the ATV doing the illegal activity, and associates the atvs with illegal behavior. Doesn't seem too hard to understand. Tearing up property you don't have permission to is a perfect example of this. If somebody tears up your back yard with an atv, and you don't know who did it, you're just going to be pissed off at atv riders in general. Or because that park gets torn up, the police get notified of it, and crack down on everyone riding atvs because you were a fool. I can't believe your father would just stand there and watch you do something illegal, that's ****** parenting. I'd have got my ass beat for doing that when I was your age. Don't be stupid. Either go somewhere legal to ride or keep it parked.
