Wow, you are allowed to gather.... anywhere.... at all? Here, more than 2 people with 2 cars and cops are all over ya. You are CLEARLY up to no good. We did something similar here at a local Starbucks on Sun mornings "with" the backing of the Starbucks, and the cops didn't care. Even had an open AWD meet at Dave and Busters every other Thurs night (with their backing) and that too was squashed. Move along, there is no reason to be here. They just do NOT like car gatherings.... suppose they think it incites speed contesting. No matter, there are always a few assclowns in every crowd, so it is what it is.

I want a badge too. Then I too can gain back all that lost pride and honor from when I was bullied and picked on in high school. :mad:

As far as I know it's completely against law to force a citizen not to be at certain place just because the cops don't like the idea.is public area.
Actually the shop has all the right to ask the cops to leave the premises if they presense wasn't requested because it's private property & there's no illegal activities going on.

Rick,i love the pics man.very nice looking rigs out there.

Just tell them you're waiting on Paul Walker and Vin Diesel to show up with your NoS canisters so you can get about your business of robbing semis. :rolleyes:

You do realize you still live in the USA right? No offense, but I just can't believe there are people out there that won't stand up for their rights. Tell them you are staging a peaceful protest against all the boring cars on the road. Like Gussie said, they can't say crap if there are no complaints and you aren't doing anything illegal. You weren't even loitering if the business was fine with it. Couldn't you call the chief of police or someone and report stuff like this. Where I come from if you get an elected official on your side they tend to listen since they see you and your friends as the people who keep them in office. I respect the law to the utmost, but I also expect the law to respect my rights. Also, to stay on topic, I love the idea of Cars and Coffee!!! Two of my favorite things in the world together at last. I need to get something like that started up here!!! I wish I was closer to Irvine!!

Police officers don't have the luxury to base any police proceedure on presumptions,scott can collaborate that as law enforcement officer.
The fact that few guys gather at one place to socialize give no PD legal grounds to command any citizen to "move along" that guys is called HARRASMENT
I don't wanna turn this thread into a public debate about civil rights but common guys,you're smart enough to know that.
Those PD acted like if you guys were living in cuba where public gathering are forbidden & private property rights doesn't exist at all.

I guess it depends on whether you've got the time to spend the night in jail.

That's right, call me a cynic. ;)

I'd love to spend a night in jail for that, because afterwards I'd be sleeping soundly on a giant pile of money since I'd sue the city to the ground. All you'd have to do is use your one phone call to the media and it would pretty much take care of itself. It sounds like this mentality isn't just isolated to just one cop or two where wormgod lives since he's been vocal about the absurd law enforcement there in the past. They really need a message sent that good citizens aren't going to stand idly by and take that kind of abuse. I work with law enforcement every day, and the whole gamut too, Sheriffs, Highway patrol, and local officers as well, and by and large they are really cool, and have been nothing if not open minded and fair. I just can't wrap my head around having to live like I'm always looking over my shoulder and second guessing my actions so I won't get in trouble.

That's a waste of a perfectly good Viper. I know that guy had to feel like carp after that.

Rickshaw, I don't know if anyone has mentioned it so I will. There are some really bad arse cars there, and if there was a perfect VX to represent us in that company, I would say yours is it. It fits in perfectly with that crowd and looks amazing. Thanks for the pics as well. Love to see exotics that I can only dream of owning (or affording).
