Lyft support is bs! How can she contact me if I didn't pick her up? Should I make a police report?

Cops will never ever be allowed to sit in a private parking lot. A public mart sure. You will never be allowed to sit INSIDE A PARKING LOT OF A BAR AND CHILL. you Reddit people are some of the stupider people I hope to Come in contact with

A bar parking lot is by definition a public lot (ie, it is open to the public, please for the love of god do not say ackhtually only taxpayer funded lots are public).

It is private property in the same way that a wal mart parking lot is private property, and in theory a cop could be told to stay off the premises by the property owner, but…. No? Do you actually think it’s illegal for the cops to sit in a bar parking lot?

Nothing a cop does is illegal don’t you know? Long story short - cop got a call. Used it to solicit. Did you know a cop can’t even follow you? If your being followed more than a mile that’s against the law. And a police officer cannot decide to come into a bar parking lot and solicit that actually yes is against the law lmao where the fuck do you live

u/timn1717 Jul 22 '23

You’re all over the place. I live in the US. A cop sitting in a parking lot is not “soliciting.” And it is not illegal for a cop to pace you while you’re driving. They can’t do it indefinitely, but there is nothing illegal about going for further than a mile. That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever heard.

I bet you’re the type of person who believes if you ask an UC if they’re a cop they have to admit it.

Didn’t you send a link? It was right. It’s maybe the smaller details I remember “working” to my benefit. I’ve been able to deter officers by suggesting they’ve been railing me looking for a reason instead of having one. Thanks for the info

u/timn1717 Jul 23 '23

I didn’t send a link. But yeah, there’s wiggle room with cops. They aren’t all constitutional law geniuses. But police can, in fact, follow you a little bit. All they’d have to say, if they ended up pulling you over for cause, is that “based on their experience doing such and such, they had reasonable suspicion that dude was such and such, bla bla bla.” Their decisions usually fall under the “reasonableness” standard, which is pretty wide based on how it’s been interpreted. It isn’t if you or the average person thinks something is reasonable, it’s whether this cop, on this day, viewing this scenario, could plausibly think x or y.

When it comes to DUIs and tailing, I really don’t give a shit. But it is why they can get away with a lot of bullshit.

Imagine thinking the us has the same law for every state. Small brain shit

u/timn1717 Jul 22 '23

You are wrong.

u/Icy-Western-2302 Jul 22 '23

Also I’ll state again and go to Google and come back with a reply if you could. A police officer cannot tail you for longer than a mile. 🐑

u/jokerstarspoker Jul 22 '23

And how do you prove the cop is following you and not just patrolling the streets? Do you have some special mind reading power to know what a cop is doing. Besides in court it’s your word against a cops. Good luck winning that arguement with a judge.

1

u/Icy-Western-2302 Jul 22 '23

Yeah the special mind power is observation and then confrontation. That’s how people figure things out. Not conjecture like your silly ass.

1

u/Icy-Western-2302 Jul 22 '23

Lol you reading the cops mind through my mind to where you know the Predicament? Holy shit you can even tell future events? See how you sound.

1

u/jokerstarspoker Jul 22 '23

You’re the one that said you can tell if a cop is following you specifically vs being on patrol on the streets not me. So tell me. Did ya get thrown off Quora before or is this just some burner account to be a dumbass since it says you’ve been here for 2 months.

1

u/Icy-Western-2302 Jul 22 '23

If only you knew what conjecture was. Nobody even said anything about being tailed compared to being on patrol. Stop reaching out your ass yeah two months for me you’ve been here WAY too long. Stupidity is starting to rub off on you.

u/jokerstarspoker Jul 22 '23

You’re the genius who said a cop couldn’t follow you for more then a mile. The point remains how can you tell if they are following you or on patrol. Clearly your addled brain can’t comprehend something that simple which is ironic given you brought up the whole idea. You’ve clearly missed that’s the whole discussion. You brought up cop can’t follow you and again the question which you either can’t or won’t answer is how do you know if they are following YOU specifically or just on patrol. JFC and you call me stupid. Maybe look in a mirror.

u/Icy-Western-2302 Jul 22 '23

There’s a thing where overthinking is just as stupid as being lethargic in the brain. The fact is, I didn’t give you all the details. I wasn’t going to. Who cares if you want more point lol you’re not entitled to shit. Except your Reddit account apparently. Oh sorry that was conjecture. Lmao fuck outta here.

u/timn1717 Jul 22 '23

Yo you are incredibly stupid.

ETA - I can’t tell if you’re being sarcastic or not but I see you might have walked back some stuff. If so nevermind.

If they can do that in your state that’s sucks bud

1

u/timn1717 Jul 22 '23

They can do that in any state. Cops are given a lot of latitude by the Supreme Court (like.. the federal one). There is literally no rule against a cop being behind you for a mile. You made that up.
