In my over-40-yrs. of md'ing, I have been, and heard of others, sometimes booted or scrammed from parks. Because .... let's be perfectly honest .... our hobby carries connotations . Ie.: that we might be about to leave a hole, blah blah. Yet at the cities/parks in question, there might not be any specific law/rule that says specifically "No md'ing".
I don't dispute that the 'powers-that-be' have the latitude to interpret the dreaded "alter" "deface" "dig" verbiage to apply to us. We can certainly debate them, but .... will risk being on the loosing end of that debate. Eh ?
So the question I have for you fellow forumites : After you've given-lip-service to the griper, and ... of course .... given the place a "rest" : Do you consider the scram or booting to constitute a "law" or "rule" from then-on-out ? And if so, does it only apply to you ? Or also to other md'rs in that geographic locale ? (eg.: You tell them "that park is off-limits", blah blah).
Consider the following true story, to gauge your answer :
