That's all the reason the police need to kick them out and harass everyone.
So that's why the cops didn't mess with everyone who had a McDonald's receipt.

As long as no one does one-wheel wonder burnouts or revs their engines too loud, the police shouldn't mess with us.

Re: What was going on at starbucks?
That sucks. Anyone else got a bright idea? I'm with SimplistikTA, on this. I don't like sitting around on the internet on the weekends. I want to go out and see what the locals are stashing under their hoods. I don't throw all of my money into my car to have it sit in front of my apartment 24/7. Most of the ppl who come out to McDonald's on Sat. are pretty cool, and I learn a lot. There has to be somewhere we can go.

Re: What was going on at starbucks?
I actually work at a restaurant inside Patrick Henry Mall, and I know for a fact that the mall proprietors used to let people use the mall parking lot on Saturday nights. Maybe I can see if the restaurant parking lot is okay. It would be smart for the local police to give us a location, because it keeps kids off of the streets. If all of the car enthousiasts on our side of the water got organized and started looking for alternatives to parking lot-hopping, the police would back off of our nuts, lol.

Re: What was going on at starbucks?
It's funny when the cops make stuff up just because they feel like harassing you. I was informed by a nice cop that stopped by a lot here once, that the law is that the property has to issue a complaint, or give the police permission to bother the people in the lot. Around here usually there are some cops that will actually call the property owners and ask for permission to hassle us, and if they don't get permission, they'll try to anyways. we were at a spot saturday night the cops tried to raid it telling us the property didn't want us there.. until the management and staff of the business informed the cops who they were and that we were allowed to be there.. cops didn't know what to say.. haha

Re: What was going on at starbucks?
Yes if we do find a spot it damn sure can't be near a residential area. I wouldn't be too happy if all I heard all night in my house was straight pipes and fart cans.
