How can a large crowd gather in front of the Sheriffs Office then this jump takes place and then it takes three days for the Bel Air Police to learn about it? And then only thanks to YouTube! Thank god it was "Evil Kenevil" and not a murder or rape on the front steps of the Sheriff's Office, apparently no one is watching the store.

I think Bel Air can find a better place to funnel taxes if the police are looking into "crimes" like this.

This really isn't that big of a deal. Props to the guy that made the jump. They got away with it. It was cool. It didn't damage anything or anyone. Just move on. Learn from it obviously. If anyone tries it again maybe have a cop outside late night. The only worry you have is if some one else tries it and hurts themselves. But this act itself is over and done with. Let it go and learn from it

maybe stupid, even dangerous. no one got hurt, nothing got broke, its over. kids had a little fun. LET IT GO!
i think theirs a lot more the police can be worring about than that!!!

If they do find out who it is I bet a good lawyer could get him off. Bottom line no one was hurt and the fountain is not damaged. Drunken crowds on mainstreet that is dangerous too, why not look for them also.

Those damn Duke boys at it again.

Yes it is illegal and stupid, but the fact that the Town would put any resources into solving this tells me there are too many cops and they probably could lay off a couple and save theTown tax payers some money.

Must be slow in Bel Air.

I agree with Dan and Amber. Nobody got hurt and there was no damage. The Sheriff's office may be embarrassed a bit but let's just move on people!!!

I'am with Dan & Amber on this one. This reminds me of the Dukes of Hazard or Smokey and the Bandit. I think the Police should just wipe the egg off their faces and get over it. People shouldn't be performing these kind of stunts in town but you have to admit it was pretty funny, did not hurt anyone and was performed right in front of the Sheriffs Office and in the middle of Town ? And what makes it even more hilarious is the Police response, go get em Roscoe !

If the bel air cops patrolled all of bel air and not just sit by looneys then maybe they would have saw this...

Hey Schmuub, its over. No one got hurt. Nothing damaged. Unless this guy rides a dirt bike thru town again, i hope Pfarr is doing his job and not wasting our tax dollars investigating a prank.

If the Bel Air PD and Harco Sheriff's Office had any sense, they would let this one go. It's embarrassing enough to them already, and pursuing the motorcyclist will only keep the story alive.

I can see both sides to this, but I lean towards letting the idiots be idiots and move on. Also, wow, what a daring jump......like a 3rd grader jumping a sand box. lol

Obviously this is just another example of some people thumbing their nose at authority and society. The "stunt" this idiot did on the dirt bike is no big thing. The fact that they did it in front of the courthouse is what it is all about. It is their way of saying to the police, "Screw you." I hope they are caught. same goes for the idiots watching and cheering him on.

Yes, I agree with Dan. Bel Air is a small town and if any police at all should be patrolling it should be in the heart of Bel Air near the court house but I guess they had better things to do besides there job. That brings me to another point. I was driving in the Festival of Bel Air when I saw a Bel Air police officer in plain clothes driving around the area while talking on his cell phone up to his ear. I confronted him about how he is suppose to uphold the law instead of breaking it and he got smart with me like he was above the law like most police officers think they are. I called his Chief but Im sure nothing was done about this young law breaking police officer.

America was once a place of freedom where a guy having fun was celebrated now it becomes a investigation by the Keystone cops to ''showboat'' for the crybaby rats of the Ussa. You know the place where the public tells on everyone else? Wait until his next jump its going to be awesome.

Maybe it was supposed to be a funny prank amongst friends, maybe the guy doesn't know someone was going to make a video and put it on YouTube.Maybe he didn't intend to embarrass all the Harford county police depts.Maybe it was such a small little stunt that he knew there was no possibility of injury to himself or others.Maybe the next jump will be even cooler, I'm guessing it will!!!!

Yes Rob, Steve is correct. Law Enforcement Officers are excempt from the cell. phone law, which allows them to talk on their cell. phone as long as it is work related. So I know it looks bad, but if he was talking "Police Work" matters, he was within his rights. If he wasn't, then that's different...

The authorities should have been notified prior to such an event in case they needed to scrape the sidewalk up afterwards. Stationing an ambulance and a streetsweeper would be a good idea just in case.

Hey, this is kinda like all the crime that happens in White Marsh Mall, especially the outside areas....right across the street from the White Marsh precinct, right?

If this was back in the 50s or 60s the cops wouldve stood in that crowd cheering him on like everyone else. This is where we have gone as a society. Why does everyone hate fun nowadays? To all those snooty for no reason Bel Air residents, get off your imaginary high horses. Live a little. Im from Aberdeen, and I love my city. If someone decided to jump Ripken's statute, half the city would be there, cheering.

Lame.

The fact that somebody does a stunt like this is not an embarrassment to police... they can't be everywhere all the time.
