I agree with the ticket being written....the unattended vehicle was a risk to the general public, theft, children taking it for a joyride...etc, etc, etc.
The car was already heated up since he drove to his girlfriends house....that keeping it warmed up is pretty lame for an excuse
Shut the vehicle off, take keys with you....problem solved, using nothing more than common sense......you're welcome.
I love and respect police officers, but don't you think their enforcement efforts can be better utilized elsewhere? If it is a law, it is another example of over reach by the state. I have warmed my car on a cold morning more than once. If I was in a place where someone might steal my car or kids around, I locked the door until it was ready to be driven. I have two sets of keys. Where is the "common sense" in this situation? There is probably none. It is a lost commodity in our current culture.
