Really?? Two kids caught
Really?? Two kids caught parking a) have to be arrested and b) have to have their names published?? Seriously? How about a stern warning from the officer at the scene and send them on their way??
I'm glad the Batavian wasn't around when I was 18.
Musta been a slow news day.
Per the Facebook comments on
Per the Facebook comments on this article (always to be taken with a grain of salt), it sounds like they were parking in broad daylight.
If there were any children around, I see no issue with arresting them.
Dewitt Park closes at dusk, FTR.
Whether it's a slow news day
Whether it's a slow news day or not, the police blotter gets published, and everything that's in it. Period.
Back in 1955 when people
Back in 1955 when people "parked", they did it at night time, in a parked car, surrounded by other horny teenagers doing the same thing. In this case it was broad daylight, in a public park witnessed by people NOT doing the same thing. So, yes... They have to be arrested. Having sex in public is against the law. Considering that you are considered an adult at the age of 18 means that you get to have your named printed in public police blotters when you get caught diddling someone's no no places in public. Seems odd to me that people ridicule a news source for simply posting the news.
interesting indeed, i believe
interesting indeed, i believe the "parking" rumor is just that a rumor. i imagine the young adults are probably embarrassed and their parents mortified. since i do not see a charge of child endangerment i assume there were no victims of this crime, i hope the court gives them a good scolding and sends them on their way. a lesson learned.
Ah-h-h! Fond memories of
Ah-h-h! Fond memories of times gone by. This reminded me of one warm, autumn night, back in '71 (it was VERY dark out).
My wife and I, (legally separated at the time) were parking alongside the Covington Town building. Though we were separated, we were good friends. VERY good friends.
Things had just started to get interesting, when a rap-tap-tap was heard on the passenger window. It was a cop, shining the brightest flashlight I'd ever seen through the window.
There was a mad scramble for clothes, and I rolled the window down. To this day, I'm not sure if that cop was being facetious, or was half-blind, but he said, "What're you two doing in there?" (I think he was being facetious)
Before I could get a word out, he said said that he had noticed our car there, and that there had been some reports of "gas siphoning" going on at the town sheds, but, he said, "I'm guessing it wasn't you two!"
Then he asked for our ID's. We gave him our license's. As we were separated, we had the same last name, but different addresses.
He looked them over very carefully, then said, "You two have different addresses, but the same last name. Are you two related?" (Ya can't fool a bright cop).
I've often wondered what would've happened if I had said we were brother and sister. But, I didn't. I figured I was already in trouble, so I told him the truth.
He said something along the lines that he guessed we weren't up to anything malicious, so we could go back to what we were doing (Yeah - like THAT was gonna happen). Then he left.
Not 100% sure, but, I think I (already) needed to smoke a cigarette, before I could drive away. Very disconcerting encounter, to say the least! But, fond memories!
Good story Ed. I remember
Good story Ed. I remember Lovers Lane road fondly back when it was just a dirt road without any lighting.
