If a teenage son backed “his” car into the parent’s car, in their own driveway, you can bet that the police would not come and ticket the son, as they would say it was on private property (IMHO).

In VA the police cannot enforce speed limits and stop sign violations on private property i.e. parking lots. Those things are suggestions. They can get you for reckless behavior/endangerment on private property which is what they do instead.

Yep. And I have 32 acres, which is typical for a lot of folks around here. Many of them have cars that are not insured or licensed that they use to get around their property. Imagine the cops coming on your property to ticket you because you warmed up your truck while getting your coffee ready.

This thing really violates the relationship between citizens and the state. They are supposed to work for us and stay the he!! off our property otherwise.

And the fact that people in gated communities are immune makes this unconstitutional. It is not equally enforced.
