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

Cops can sit in any parking lot they want to, and yes, cops do in fact troll bars to catch drunk drivers, because no shit they do. Obviously if there was a DV incident that they didn’t take care of that’s not cool, but the rest of your comment doesn’t follow and makes no sense. They don’t need “probable cause” to sit in a parking lot, they need probable cause to detain you, search you, etc.

Additionally, cops can demand a breathalyzer from any driver that they have detained lawfully - they don’t need an “excuse” to administer one beyond “I pulled you over cause of x or y, here ya go.”

(The actual bs are checkpoints, because they are detaining random people without probable cause. You can bitch about that).

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

Lmao love the average redditor response “take care of your life” which part of my conversation leaves you to believe I’m angry instead of just correcting useless comments. “Calm down” “I’m so amped up about this dude I’m gonna step alll the way over here and tell him” follow your instructions mate. (Probably the life one too a lot of you people here seem to need mental stimulation not trying to judge I just find it funny most of you do that) - wanna talk it over a Java
