“Amazingly, Detroit crime rates have dropped...”
Yes, and isn’t it amazing? Murder rates are way down, arson is almost nonexistent, whodathunkit? Oh, you’re talking about THAT Detroit? Never mind.
Perhaps there would be fewer auto thefts if the cops were focusing their efforts on car thieves instead of innocent citizens trying to warm up their cars.
In Hayward CA it`s against the law to repair your car in your driveway. So neighbors just switch driveways. Stupoid Haywired CA law.
Seen many cop cars idleing while unattended-ambulances(at the ER drop off) and fire trucks too!!!!
...
Sometimes they get stolen, but not often for what should be obvious reasons.
I have been warming up unattended cars in driveways and even public streets for 60 years——I never even got a nasty comment,and certainly not a ticket.
.
Yes.
Think its got more to do with leaving an unattended care running vs just idling or long lights would fall into your catagory.
Now maybe if he told the court it was locked while he was inside and didn’t bad mouth the cop he may have made out mo better
Of course, out betters in city government have ways around all of the laws they make for us peons...
So does almost every municipality.
Thats what my ticket should have been for not illegal parking and will be my defense in court:

If my car was stolen while unattended and idling in my driveway, you know what? I would never leave my car unattended and idling in my driveway again.
Car thieves around that area will steal every car that isn’t chained down to the pavement. They will steal your car out of your driveway with a tow truck if it’s a valuable model.
The cops are powerless to stop it. Your car is long gone before they ever show up.
Well, in that case you must do your civic duty:
A judicial court or some administrative hearing (aka farce)?
So what if you’re defrosting your windshield when its 10 degrees out, you’re supposed to sit inside the whole time?
Reading comprehension is not your strong suit. The ticket was for leaving the car unattended while it was running. Do people at the drive-thru at the McDonalds leave their car unattended? Didn't think so.
