Anyone heard of getting a ticket for unattended running car

yeah but it was because I left a baby in it.

where I lived you can be ticketed for that but the vehicle has to be on a public street

I'm guessing cops are exempt from this law since they leave their cruisers running even on lunch breaks.

And police are just dumbfounded as to why the public hates them. Meanwhile, two blocks away, they are selling crack on every corner and people walking around with 40s with no shirts and their arse showing.

I guarantee you this is his first month on the force.

Yeah. I heard of that once. Basically what happened was, he stopped at a car dealership to check out a truck. Dealership was closed, so he just pulled in (right outside gate, but off the main road), left his car running and went and looked at the vehicle for about a minute.

Weird. I use my remote start every day. Who knew I was breaking the law so much

We only have so many officers in Baton Rouge. I'd really hope that cop has better things to do than waste time writing "unattended car" tickets at a dealership.

I have probably called in two or three obvious drunk drivers (zig-zagging across the interstate) throughout my years driving, and not once has a cop (LSP, EBRSO, BRPD) ever made an appearance. Yet they have 8 at BQuick at any given time.

Happened to me (while my car was in my drive way) and countless friends while living in Nashville. They actively look for running , empty , vehicles in Davidson County. It's a money maker.
