Question for LEOs

[wilderness medic]

You are driving down a road in the country and see a couple people parachuting off an electrical tower into an open field. What do you do? Warn them, have a friendly chat with them out of curiosity, or ticket them? If you ticket them, what would you ticket them for?

Ticket them for natural selection.

What PC is that?

It's the ticket that the coroner ties to your toes when they pick you up

Personally, I'd be more worried about their safety and the risk of them short circuiting the transmission line and causing an area wide blackout if they touch a live wire than "ticketing" them.

So you'd go with the friendly chat? What if they assured you there was little to no risk and this was done frequently from it for decades?

What an odd, very specific question....

W Medic, you looking to jump?

How is it odd? I'm curious how various LEOs would go about this situation, or what law they might feel was broken and citable.

W Medic, you looking to jump?

Why?

[rudigan]

Why what?

[wilderness medic]

Why what?

Why do you ask

[rudigan]

Nothing better to do, and now sort of curious, but agree with other, odd questions. So are you asking because you want to/have been doing it or..

Sounds like you should contact the LEOs/Agency that covers the area where that electrical tower is...

Trespass

Wouldn't this be a PC 602(L) violation since the towers are certainly owned and operated by a utility company and there's no way they would condone that kind of reckless behavior? Almost every tower I've seen in the past has No Trespassing signs near/around the base.

You sound like an upstanding human being.

So cite for trespassing and send them on their way.
