No Trespassing.

So the other night Dan and I got put in handcuffs for trespassing. We went to the sauvie mill to take night shots with the help of a lantern. we were only there for about 20 minutes and a neighbor saw the light bouncing off the silo and called the cops on us. after a while we notice a car parked behind our with its lights on. it would only be two things, either a security guard waiting for a cop, or a cop waiting for more cops. we decided that since he wasn't coming in alone, and if we went out it would be over, and the reinforcements were already on their way so we decided to keep taking pictures while we were waiting for more cops to show up. just delaying the inevitable. we all know and accept what the consequences are of trespassing. eventually 4 more cops show up, 3 cops, 2 sheriffs and a dog in total. as soon as they started coming in through the gate with the dog we came out so they wouldn't turn the dog loose. they instantly drew their guns and told us to freeze and put our hands where they could see them. then interlace our fingers and get down on our knees one at a time. we were instantly placed in handcuffs and questioned. after they realized it was only us there and we were just photographers not breaking anything and sober, they said since we were so cooperative they would turn us loose. now we are in the system. next time wit will be trespassing 2.
