If you read the Indiana Code, police officers DO NOT HAVE AUTHORITY TO WRITE TICKETS ON PRIVATE PROPERTY................
Unless they have 1) a contract between the police agency and the OWNER/lessee of the property. 2) a fee must be paid by the property owner to the police agency authorized to enforce traffic and PARKING regulations. 3) The contract must be recorded with the county recorders office. 4) Signs must be posted at all entrances of the property stating that the police are authorized to enforce traffic and parking regulations.
And, if you will also notice in the Indiana Code, a FIRE ZONE is defined at WHITE diagonal stripes extending 10 feet out from the curb of the sidewalk. All those yellow stripes and fire zone/no parking signs in front of grocery stores/shopping malls don't mean d*ck and you can cite the above IC also in your defense if some jackboot does write you a ticket.

slow down hoss....that's not exactly a "fire zone"
Here's a 'crazy' thought: Don't run stop signs, even on mall drives, don't park in zoned off areas regardless of color, and don't park in 'handicapped' spots (unless meeting the legitimate requirements), and ya won't have a problem.
hunh?

I can/do write handicapped in parking lots but they have to be marked as required by state law. If they are not, I cannot enforce it.Same thing with handicap parking spots.
Nothing I love more than seeing an able bodied person parking in a handicap spot. I mean lack of intelligence is a handicap right?
Interesting thing happened to me a few years ago. I was walking across the crosswalk to the grocery store from the parking lot. There are stop signs on either side of the crosswalk so that pedestrians can get in and out of the store safely.
A local LEO rolled right through the stop sign, almost running me over. I yelled "Hey, Officer" toward the car and ran toward his driver side window. I told him he almost hit me because he did not stop at the stop sign. This a-hole said "It's private property; I don't have to obey the signs."
Anyone not yielding to pedestrians in a crosswalk is an ahole. The LEO doing so and using it isn't against the law makes him an extra big ahole.So if a citizen disobeys signs on private property they are a patriot, but if a cop does they are an a-hole? Only on INGO.

Can we start another thread for a-hole cops? We wouldn't want to derail this one.
I related incident that was directly related to the topic, and you got all testy. Was I saying that ALL cops are a-holes? Of course not. I have a healthy respect for law enforcement, both on here and IRL. Hell, BBI's and I have repped each other so many times I think we're banned for life from doing it any more.
