I have gotten into several situations like that. No ticket tho. I dont know what policies you guys have there. Cops cannot give us a ticket in our complex for stupid shit like that unless the incident occured outside the apartment complex property...... Had something to do with "Private Community".

People like that pisses me off. There was an old couple who lived in my building. I used to help them bring their groceries up and take their trash out from time to time. I even used to park their van closer to our building since they couldnt park their, in between cars.

Now, my garage is detached, but faces the building, with a road/parking lot in between the building and the garage. Cops were dispatched to my location one night (8 PM) when I started my car while it was on a jack stand..... open downpipe, no bumper, front tires not installed. I agree that it was loud but I was not revving it. It was just taking more than 5 cranks to get the motor to stay running (troubleshooting at the time).

After a few minutes, I turned the car off and lit a cigarette. Then a cop showed up and parked in front of my garage to block me. The cop talked to me. He was not an ashole of anything. He said that a call was received saying that I was racing up and down the street. I was in disbelief! I said to the cop that it was not possible...... while pointing to the jackstand that was holding my car up and the wheelless left and right hubs. The old lady came out to the balcony to see how the situation unfolds. The cop left. He told me to keep the noise down if I intend to keep working on the car.

The next day I went to see the landlord (Staff). One of them is actually a good friend of mine. He told me who called the cops. I never onced offered any help to those old people again....
