It's illegal to turn around in a parking lot in Moore, OK.

Hearing some of these stories brings the thought that there are probably more details that seem to have been forgotten.

Apparently it’s also illegal in OKC to ride a bike around looking in driveways and a driver’s license can be handed over as if being used like a weapon. On a more positive note, my mother texted the whole family that an officer was seen helping someone put on a spare tire last night. I shouldn’t be on here badmouthing cops. Most are good and needed. I’ll stop now. After this post. Promise.

I remember seeing that video after it happened. IMO she brought that on herself. The "I didn't do anything wrong" to me made her sound guilty as hell. Most people would ask "What did I do?". Then the attitude really won her brownie points. When will people learn that keeping a cool head goes over WAY better than pulling an attitude?

When parents start teaching kids to respect authority again.

In my day (lol, you kids git offa my lawn), when I got in trouble at school, I did my best to keep it a secret at home. Otherwise, I was in serious danger of double jeopardy...

My parents’ generation (Baby Boomers) decided to reject or at least highly question authority. When their generation got into positions of authority, they gave us every reason to do both.

I Don’t know about the rest of the state, but back in the 60’s when cruising the streets was popular in Ponca City there were always places where everyone turned around to head back the other way on each end of the “drag”.
Business owners in those locations thought they were losing money because people were parking and not buying anything and they wanted paying customers to be able to access their business.
A local ordinance was passed that you couldn’t just drive through the lot without stopping. Both ends of our drag were fast food places, and could get really crowded at peak times.
What’s interesting is that when that was enforced with great diligence by our local PD, both of those business folded to lack of sales.
The kids all moved out to the local municipal lake and I left town after that for a few years.
Just spitballing here but suspect the ordinance in Moore may have roots in the same?

Yep, it's true.

Sec. 15-513. - Driving through service drives.

No vehicle shall he driven through any service drive or parking area except for the purpose of attaining service or merchandise or for the purpose of parking thereon.

(Ord. No. 841(16), § 15-513, 12-19-2016)

Even though this law was obviously created to ticket 12th street cruisers and people cutting through parking lots to avoid a red light, Moore police are using it as a means to pull random people over. Once pulled over, the officer will demand to see the offender's driver's license and proof of insurance. The officer will take the offender's ID back to his vehicle (in this case a motorcycle where he may have had to communicate with a dispatcher) where he can "run" the perpetrator's name looking for warrants, past infractions, etc. The officer may decide to search the vehicle as well.

If you were to miss your turn for the road to the Moore library and turn around by entering a parking lot through one entrance and then driving past a few cars and a telephone pole to exit a separate exit at around 2 in the afternoon, you can get pulled over by a Moore police officer on a motorcycle and be issued a $200.00 ticket. I know first hand.

I just paid online and chose no contest. I was afraid if I got in the courtroom I'd get myself in trouble by saying what I thought about the whole ordeal and particularly the officer. During the stop, I was extremely polite and respectful and thought there was no way I'd be getting a ticket. Then the officer returned with the ticket and a pompous demeaning attitude.

When copying the info from the Moore website and pasting it in this post, I noticed a typo: "No vehicle shall he driven.." I wonder if I could have gotten out of the ticket by explaining my car is not a "he," but is a "she named Betsy," and, therefore, exempt from that law.

I also wonder if I could've gone to court and said I was gonna buy something but changed my mind.

It's all just stupid annoying bs.

It's hard to respect law enforcement when they have people like said motorcycle cop running around out there exercising their authoritah.

There was a show that came on back in the 80’s (I can’t remember the name of it) but it had these two news guys and one was named Buzzard ( Buzz-Ard) and they called someone cutting through a parking lot an S-O A hole. Lol. I must be one because I’ve don’t it numerous times.

Generationally, that wasn’t taught. My generation is the generation of participation trophies. We didn’t want them. The Boomers gave them to us. I threw mine away.
