425+ people . . . at a Sonic . . . or just in transit in or out of KMart. They must be some awfully large establishments.

Logistically, wouldn't it be rather difficult to arrest over 400 people? The number of police required to do that must have required a huge proportion of the force.

My question is this:

Suppose K-Mart calls the cops to clear their lot. Sonic doesn't have the same view as K-Mart. They actually like people on their lot. Do the police then have the right to arrest people from the Sonic lot? I don't think so because the police don't have a complaint from Sonic.

If the police dragged people from one lot to another so they could make the arrest, then that would make for a very interesting court case.

As I understand it, Sonic did not allow the cars on their lot to be towed. That tells me they weren't a party to the complaint. Of course, I suspect I will be corrected by some of the new homeland security volunteers very shortly.
