Ive never been "busted" but Ive been told to leave a few times. I would say that normally thats all that will happen is you get told to leave or you cant do that here. But I know of some instances where people have been ticketed or even arrested , it just depends on the location and the mood of the person in authority handling it. I know of one occaision where somebody on one of these forums , maybe this one , was detecting a field near or across the street from a credit union if I remember correctly. They were cuffed and arrested. They posted pictures of the arrest and everything. Its been a long time since I seen the post but I think they thought since it was city property and not posted , they could detect there....but I think they were too close to the credit union for anyones comfort level....though I dont know why thats a big deal. The worst that can happen could be pretty bad so it pays to be careful.
