There are enough burglaries and car jackings going on to justify more attention.Hell, why not give more tickets for following too close on the freeways? That would be much more lucrative than trying to trap and ticket some folks just wanting to have fun.
[soap box]
He is going to get paid is whats gonna happen.
Where's the ACLU when you need them?
Earlier this month(last week?) an Apple store(Knox St.) customer beat the shit out of another Apple store customer for abusing the help. The cops gave him a TICKET for "assault." No cuffs, no jail. Look it up. It was funny. He told the guy "I don't work here and I don't have to be nice to you" and threw the little bitch(male) out on the sidewalk in front.
And they put this guy in LSJC for four days for a shout out?

Look at subsection c and d...reason why they get you for something else. It's not a black thing. They do this to a bunch of white people too warning against speed traps but they normally make up a some charge that will stick...ie holding a sign in the street. In his case probably loitering or disturbing the peace.

Even Genius Bars Need Bouncers Sometimes
At 8:45 p.m. on Wednesday, a complaint led to an altercation between customers at the Apple store in the 3000 block of Knox Street. The incident began after a man became upset with employees at the store about customer service. Another customer then intervened and told him, “I don’t work here, so I don’t have to be nice to you.” The intervener then grabbed the complainer by his coat and threw him out the front door. His aggression earned him a citation for assault.
