I am pretty sure we have covered this one before. But now there is video of the court proceedings fighting the ticket. Cliff notes: Guy has car running in driveway to warm up..... cop drives by and sees it running unattended and stops and writes a ticket due to public safety concerns. "Someone could steal it and speed and hurt someone!!" paraphrasing the police chief. But the officer doesn't knock on the door or notify anyone in the house that it is an issue. So it couldn't possibly be a true public safety issue because he left the car in the same condition he found it only with a ticket on the window.
The icing on the cake was the judge chewing out the defense lawyer for the info ending up on facebook without the judges express consent. Apparently someone in attendance at a previous hearing was livestreaming the case on facebook. The Defense attny knew it had happened (but wasn't doing it personally) and the judge flips out and puts him in contempt of court. I think for transparency sake all court cases should be available to be recorded if the defense or prosecutor wishes. Helps keep the courts honest. Sure you can get transcripts but that doesn't show obvious contempt, snarkiness, or possible bias in peoples actions during the case.

Michigan judge orders man to pay ticket for allowing car to warm up in driveway |

Actually.......... Michigan passed an ACTUAL law to make it illegal to leave a vehicle running with the keys in it even if it's in your own driveway.

Typical liberal logic. Making it easy to commit crime turns otherwise upstanding citizens into criminals.

This reminds me of a funny story.
My wife's cousin was stationed in Colorado about a year ago, he's from Louisiana. So he buys himself a car while he's there and one morning he starts up his car to warm it up. While it's warming up and he is inside, someone jacks his car. Gets better though. He calls the cops and when they get there he explains what happened. In the end he got a ticket for having his car running to warm up and never got his car back. Lol kick a man while he's down! |

I think my commie state passed laws about idling/warming up cars...to reduce emissions.
|
|
Yeahhhhh, I'm not paying that ticket.
I'd ask how many days in jail would equal whatever the fine is . |
|
Since it is Michigan in the winter..... I wonder if this officer is trespassing on everyone's yards to check running vehicles in case a few of them don't have remote start and are a threat to the general public?

Now all they need is some issue granting them probable cause to enter your house without a warrant and they will be all set..... like maybe leaving the water in the sink running while you are brushing your teeth? Or older generation of non EPA certified gas cans?

Go to the police station at the beginning of a shift on a hot or cold day and see if they are following the law.

How did the court know this guy left his car idling? It could have been his wife or kids.
I suspect that he admitted his "crime" to the police. If the cops knock on your door, asking whether you left your car running, the only correct response is: "am I being detained?" |

Actually.......... Michigan passed an ACTUAL law to make it illegal to leave a vehicle running with the keys in it even if it's in your own driveway. My research indicates a different situation: LANSING, MI - A portion of a little-known Michigan law that made it illegal to "warm up" a car in a driveway has been reversed by state representatives. The Michigan House of Representatives approved Tuesday afternoon, May 2, a bill that will allow motorists to leave an unattended vehicle idling in a private driveway without fear of a ticket. The legislation kept in place the regulation against having an unattended vehicle idling on a private roadway or business parking lot. House Bill 4215 moves to the state Senate for consideration before it can become law. It passed through the House's Transportation and Infrastructure Committee in March. Michigan's law against "warming up" an unattended car in a driveway grabbed headlines when a man in Roseville received a ticket for "warming up" his car in his driveway in January. A month later, the Muskegon police chief announced that his department would be cracking down on unattended vehicles idling in city driveways to help combat the possibility of the car being stolen. Despite concerns raised by the state representative who represents the Roseville area, the legislation passed the full House on a vote of 77-30. State Rep. Holly Hughes, R-Montague, sponsored the bill.

Does that count if you are sitting in the driver's seat waiting for the car and engine to warm up? I wouldn't be so stupid as to start my car in the drive way or anywhere else, and then get out and go into the house. That's an engraved invitation for a thief to steal it. Who does something stupid like this. However, stupidity shouldn't be subject to traffic fines. Unless it directly affects others negatively. View Quote I'm not sitting in the car for the 15 minutes it will take to warm up and defrost on a 10 degree day. |

Judge was already mad at the defense to begin with, and the defense attorney's ridiculous lumbersexual look likely was not helping matters.

Texas has the same dumb laws. But it's harder to tell the car's on because it's not ass numbing cold most of the time. View Quote I stopped at a quick stop to grab a coke, left the AC running for my buddy, and all the doors locked. When I came out some crazy lady jumped my shit about leaving my dog in the truck with the windows rolled up and how he'd die in 5 minutes time. I told her the truck was running and the AC was on...and she looked like I really deprived her of her social justice crusade for the day. I loves my remote start key fob. |
