I will bring him to the next meet so we can all flog him for being a cop.

Well, in VA it is different, as long as business property open to the public, cop can give you a ticket.

But my run-in with Gainesville P.D. at the Archer road Publix wasn't even about driving, it was about showing them my I.D. I had enrolled in a constitutional law class at UF that semester, and I had just learned that cops can't make you identify yourself or even make you talk with them when you're on private property, unless they have probable cause. Usually they just have to have reasonable suspicion, but that doesn't work on private land even if it's open to the public.
That's why I argued with that douchebag. His crock of B.S. about how double-parking must mean I'm drunk wasn't going to fly. And I'm sure there was probably something he coulda written me a ticket for, but then he would actually have to KNOW WHO I WAS first! Bwahahahahaha. And that sure wasn't happening, since I refused to tell him or give him my license. He also tried running my tag and registration, but that car was a corporate lease so it just came up as registered to BMW Financial Svcs. and "T.R. & R. International".

Not only am I having a problem with this ****, but so is my family's business.
My parents own a clothing store on Melrose Ave, and as most of you may know, the main challenge is getting people to come out of the malls and come shop on the street. LAPD is ****ing it up. They've targeted Melrose Ave to give tickets (both moving and parking) to the point that the cops/meter maids dont even drive cars anymore. They ride bikes. most of the meter maids just walk around. There is no way that can be good for business. Me and my older brother decided last night that we eed to find a way to get through to City Hall abbout this. If I got pulled over on Melrose and I got a parking ticket it's safe to say I wouldnt go back for a long time.

Or, you could just slow down on Melrose. The cops are there to protect the foot traffic and ticket the idiots in cars who like to rip around and show off. I personally saw someone get hit by some retard showboating...it was ugly. As far as meters go, they are walking and on bikes to save fuel costs and lessen traffic on an already congested street (especially on the weekends). If you are getting parking tickets becasue your meter expired....well, the only person you have to blame is yourself.
I will say that the many of the people who come to and leave from Platinum Motorsports do drive in a way that warrant tickets. But these cops on bikes aren't normally pulling them over, they're getting people for things like improper lane changes. The other night I saw 3 people pulled over on 2 blocks. That was never the scene on Melrose. All I'm saying is that it's definitely not GOOD for business.
