Legal Question in Traffic Law in Florida

Is it illegal to skateboard on the sidewalks of downtown Orlando Florida? It is to my knowledge that as long as I am aware of the liabilities and ride in a safe and controlled manner I am within the right to skate while giving right of passage to pedestrians on the sidewalk. Police officers always harass me and warn me of arresting me and etc. Can you please help me. I have done a lot of research and can't find any laws prohibiting skaters to skate on the sidewalks of downtown orlando. I have even asked the officer for a perimeter of where I am am allowed to walk and whats considered downtown but the always push away from answering. I feel they are abusing the power they have. Correct me if I am wrong.

You need to contact an Orlando attorney. It is a city ordinance that would define it and a local attorney could help you.
