That's where they should be instead of cracking down on people late to work. AND IN THEIR OWN APARTMENT COMPLEX. I'm erked.
Off my soapbox...
My $.02, well actually my $75.00.
As long as your done with your soapbox, let me use it for a minute. Although your apartment complex is privately owned, the parking lot is used by the public at large so you CAN be given a citation.
I know your mad for getting a ticket, but don't take it out on the officer for doing his job. Most likely he was given the assignment as a result of complaints from citizens. You just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Put the shoe on the other foot for a second. Someone almost hits you or your child in your complex and you call the police for action. You would be on here complaining that nothing was done.
By the way, if someone was driving drunk through your complex, would you want them arrested? I'm sure you would.
In TN. you can speed or drive drunk on YOUR OWN property as much as you want, you just can"t do it on MINE.
Sorry in advance if I offended you, I'm just trying to get you to see it from another perspective.
