Question

Are cops allowed to use/sit on, private property/businesses/homes... to set up speed traps?

Answer 1

Actually, no, they need permission.  We had a problem with this at our church.  People were complaining that the church was allowing them to use our parking lot, and we got it stopped with the church/state argument.  

Answer 2

Yes.  It happens all the time.  Most people like to have the Police around and don&#039;t care if we use their parking lots to monitor traffic.  If asked to leave we would need to but in all of my years I have only been asked to leave once by a property owner.  I just went across the street and sat in another lot.

Answer 3

No.

Answer 4

In the United States they can with permission of the property owner.

Answer 5

Not unless they have permission from the private propery/business owner. Although they are allowed to go wherever they please, they cannot use ones private land to their advantage without permission.

Answer 6

  Yes. In some jurisdiction they must have permission of the  owner/manager of the property, and in some jurisdictions they don&#039;t.

Answer 7

Yes. We can sit wherever we want, and we do.
