I was approached tonight at exactly 10 pm by a police officer.
I was in my truck and had just gotten done riding Lassing. There were still a few guys riding and a few out in the grass hanging out.

We weren't making any noise, were very far North, etc. In other words, we were as good as we get in terms of where we parked/noise and stuff.

Long story short - the police officer told me we can't ride in there (Lassing) after sunset anymore and that she is going to start writing tickets for people who are still in the park after dark. She gave us 15 minutes to clear out tonight, but said that courtesy would not be offered again after tonight.

She said she was getting complaints by neighbors.
Unfortunately, it is the law there that we have to be out by sun set.
Unfortunately, if a couple of neighbors call and complain, she is in a position as an officer to enforce the law.

My "read" on her is that she really wishes we had listened to her warnings in the past, and doesn't know what else to do but write us tickets in the future, should we show up. She didn't seem like she was on some power trip or hating us... she just seemed pinned up against the wall.
If we keep showing and these rich neighbors call her boss... that doesn't do her much good as an officer.
I am pretty certain she will write tickets next time, no warning.

I have actually been riding North Shore park lately, since the last time I personally saw a cop out there at Lassing about a month ago. I couldn't ride NSP tonight because of 'Taste of Pinellas'.

Anyway, you guys can do what you want. This post is information based. Do with the info what you want.
It would be pretty irresponsible to not post this. She made a point of telling me I should let as many kiters know as possible, since she will write tickets, no questions or warnings next time. She actually told me she has warned people several times in the last few weeks. (I wouldn't know for sure, I haven't been out there).

I plan on never riding Lassing at night again, it's not worth the ticket to me when I can ride an equally good spot right around the corner that doesn't close until 11pm.
