Cops have busted all hangouts!

[nemesls_2000]

Every city has their local "car meetings" every Saturday night including mine. Well, last year we used to meet up at the Service Merchandise parking lot. Finally cops busted it up and we couldn't go back, so we started meeting at the Media Play parking lot this year. Again the cops come up tell us we can't come there any more b/c it is private property and it is after store hours.
Now we are meeting in the Toys R Us parking lot. Two cops usually show up around 11-11:30pm and tell us to leave. A couple of weeks ago, about 4 patrol cars and the 'ole paddy wagon come speeding up like there is some emergency. Everyone is is looking at them and the cops get out of their cars and ask "What is going on around here? We were told that people were fighting and gunshots were fired!" All of this is untrue of course and they break us up and we all leave.
Tonight we are at the same parking lot and it is around 9:30pm, 2 cops pull up and don't say anything to us, they pull in and go straight to talk to the closing manager of Toys R Us, I assume. Well, at exactly 10pm they get on the intercom and tell us that "this parking lot is to no longer be a meeting spot for our vehicles and that we are now considered 'loitering' and to leave." This sucks!
Does anyone else have this problem? This is just getting f**king ridiculous!

It's exactly the same in Chicago, except I actually got busted at one of the hangouts for not having a front plate. The cops blocked us in and gave out some tickets to the few people who got stuck in the lot. I got a $25 ticket from some asshole cop that night.

Hey luti what hang out was that? was it value city?

try going to a local park that doesn't close til like 12 or so.l their should be signs around saying what time it closes at. But if you are there then you won't get in trouble for loitering. try it and see if it works. Just make sure to know what time the park closes and be out of their by then.

If you go to a 24 hour store like 7-11 they cant say anything.

They can still kick you out for loitering or scaring away the customers and make you leave. Unless they are cool with you guys being there but I doubt it.

Actually the lot I used to hang out in a lot was on the South Side, Archer and Ashland, the White Castle lot. But the lot I got a ticket in was by Division and Ashland up North.

yeah, we got that problem here in napa. We used to all chill at staples, and about a month ago a cop began posting at the petco across the street and watching us and shit, then 2 weeks later he rolls up and busts out the loudspeaker tellin us if we aint buying nothing we better bounce cause we loitering. Man, why cant they let a bunch of import enthausiasts meet in peace?

Anyhow, now we go to in-n-out but the cops are rolling up there too and its only a matter of time...

Me and soem other kids used to go chill with our cars near a movie theater around here, but we keep gettin busted by this asshole sheriff. Anyone from or around Eastbay, like Walnut Creek, or San Ramon/Danville...?

Ok your talkin in the city, not the outskirts. I live in the burbs and the cops are on us like hawks.

That is what I was thinking about. It is hard to find somewhere that stays open that late w/ enough parking. Every Saturday night it averages somewhere between 30-40 cars.

I dont go out to concord too much. I will be starting DVC, which i think is located in Concord, on the 19th. But i usually just go chill in the movie parking lot on danville, and some random stuff in San Ramon... I really want to get a club of kids to go race or just to show cars. But i dont knwo where to start around here

[Melt]

DVC is over in concord. I commute out to Heald everyday (damn bridge tool) so I am out here usually just for college, but if someone wants to setup something im down. Healds kinda on the outskirts, you take 4 east from 680 and then exit onto port chicago hwy and its out there by the golf course.

I know theres a 7-11 by me thats connected to a strip mall so it has ample room for cars. Is there anything like that where you are?
