Have you tried skating late at night? Here in the UK you don't tend to get bothered so much at night and there won't be anyone around to complain to the police.

I find this hilarious because around an hour ago(around the time you posted this), I was skating right outside my house and the police drove past me, they slowed down and stared at me as they passed! In the UK, for some reason, police are less likely to trouble skaters, but still do it. I reckon it's because in the US, they sue more often than we would in the UK so the owners of the property being skated are just nervous.

Well skateboarder have a tendency to deface property. Im not saying you have but they have built that sorta reputation.

They do still bother you but that's just them doing their job and following the usually stereotype of drug using skaters with attitude problems. often though the police can actually be quite friendly providing you treat them how you would like to be treated, If they ask you to move on do so. if you want to go somewhere where you wont be bothered try industrial areas. there's a few awesome skate spots not far from me in the city of Cardiff and most of the time you won't get bothered just have to be careful and respectful of others around you.
