For the record, this is what I said:
There is no doubt that these gatherings are a nuisance to the neighborhoods. The problem is that no law is being broken by the kids being there.
The cops need the permission of the property owners to run the kids off, which they may or may not have had. If they do have the permission, and the kids refuse to leave, then they may be arrested for criminal trespass. But they have to be given a chance to leave.
If there is a fight or something like that, or if motorcyclists are doing wheelies and are being loud or dangerous, an arrest could be made for disturbing the peace. That is what the police should have focused on.
But there is nothing illegal about people getting together on private property and having a good time, which is essentially what was going on here.
Apparently, police believed that these gatherings preceded some street racing, and this was sort of a staging area. Stopping street racing is an appropriate police function. But what they should be doing is patrolling the places where street racing occurs and stopping it there.
I have sympathy for those people who have their homes or apartments adjacent to these parking lots, but it essentially comes with the territory. If they don't like it, they should move to a quieter neighborhood. Anybody who lives within a block or two of Westheimer needs their heads examined, anyway. The street is a madhouse, especially on weekends.
Nope. I said to neither talk to me nor about me. Period. To that, you said no. Respect is a two-way street, cowboy/girl. You want it? You have to give it.
For the record, this is what I said:
For the record, the rest of that post is not even relevant to the subject.
The fact is, and remains, you said none of the people arrested did anything wrong. And I have your own words to prove it.
Also, for the record, I stated I believed as far as you are concerned, unless the property owner comes out and specifically objects to criminal behavior, that is the same as consent. You have yet to respond.
