It happened again. Thankfully I wasnt injured.
A thought struck me...
As I sit here, I am thinking of things mentioned in the past, and things that have happened recently. All of these things happening on private property.
Some examples:
Alexmayhem was asked to leave Albertsons by Kennewick Police. He was asked to leave private property by the local police dept after not being approached by any of Albertsons staff.
Somebody on here was asked to put his gun away at a movie theater on private property from a police officer, not by the theater staff.
Tom Brewster was approached and asked for ID on the private property at starbucks because of open carrying a firearm, which from what I understood was not initiated by the staff there.
The other day a lady without a license or insurance backed into one of our employees cars and the officer showed up and said she could not write a police report, ticket the lady or do anything else because the incedent happened on private property. This lady admitted to driving the vehicle, the only way into our parking lot is from a public road.
How can they enforce a "not" law when it comes to open carry, and not enforce a real law on private property? I was taught that rules of the road still applied to parking lots, turn signals, speed limits. If your car is vandalized in your driveway they will come and fill out a police report. Damage is damage, what differintiates what is reportable and what is not? If there is a domestic dispute, an officer will come on private property and sort things out.
This is where the dash cam thing would be cool in this area. The employee is a young kid who really didnt know what to do, so I told him the usual exchange info and get the officers info so that he could refer back to it.
He said he had forgot the cops name so I said hang on, I went out to ask her for her info, and on the way I snapped a photo of her license plate number. She hopped out of her vehicle and said "Here let me give you my card, this car is not tied to my name in any way". I asked her "Are you not assigned the car and have to check it out and back in?" She said "no", I was thinking well the dash cam could ID you but she seemed ignorant already, so I took the card and she wrote her sargeants name on the back which looks like ( Sgt Mos). This happened on the 5th and her name is Becca Jones.
I want to find some info on this cause this is the second one of our employees that have had their cars hit and been told that police do not have to file an incedent report. I had first thought well if it were vandalism that is done with on purpose, and an accident, well is an accident. But then I thought well even if the unlicensed, uninsured woman didnt mean to back into our employee, she drove the car on purpose without a license and insurance which makes this not an accident.
Any thoughts? <--- LOL
