Reply to comment by UniWheel in Why is there no lights for Skate Parks in NYC! by chengslate

I’ve gotten ticketed 2x for “being in park while closed”

Tried to argue we didn’t know when it closed. Judge said something along the lines of unless signs say otherwise, public parks close at dusk. First time I got off with ACD? Second time I picked up trash for 8 hours with a stick with a spike at the end

Judge was making stuff up likely based on memories of their own teenage years

That's why you go to court prepared with documented facts

Of course, it's possible that the particular park you were in actually did close at dusk.

You have no idea what you're talking about.

See parks' own website

Central Park famously closes at 1am.

And yes, you can get a ticket if you're there - after that, not before.

Wrong

> Central Park is entirely different due to it's size but no normal Nyer would be there after dark.

Wrong again, tons of ordinary people there in the evening

So now that you've proven you have no clue what you're talking about, goodbye.
