Was a good time but the cops were just waiting for us to leave, He followed me and a supra out on 94 and then pulled him over, not sure why since we didnt do a damn thing wrong

Blownsvt
06-09-2008, 11:48 PM
they claimed he had done donuts in the parking lot. a cop came and questioned me about it. i told him i never saw anything which was true and commented about how if there were donuts being done there would be tire marks which of course there were none. he took my DL and wrote all my information down in a complaint form. not sure why since i was just standing there. I simply told him i lead the group here and do not allow anyone to do that here. he then questioned us about having permission to be there and siad the store managers don't matter and we need permission from the property managment company. Maple Grove is becoming way to big a pain to hold the meets. we do nothing wrong but get hassled. i think it is time to look for something a little more remote or a city where the buildins are not leased from management groups and are owned by the businesses. I plan on doing some digging around on this i find it odd that he can put me down on a complaint form when i did nothing but approach his vehicle and answer his questions. he cops in this town apparently have nothing better to do. i find it interesting that about 30 minutes prior 2 squads rolled in and said they just wanted to look at the cars and then not long after we are being hassled for a ficticious claim. the Maple Grove police are aware of this website for sure as of now so make sure and behave extra well.

Stupid fuckin cops.

And that is my bright, intelligent comment to end the night on.

Meet was a lot of fun, good turn out, great people. It was fun to see the two Supra's show up. Hopefully mine will be up here, and up at DB soon. How long have I been saying that though...

06-10-2008, 12:43 AM
damn sounds like I missed a little fun with the Pigs. I dont see why the cops would say that we need permission from the management company of the businesses. if we have permission from the business itself I dont see why the management company would need to be involved. i'll keep a lookout for a good spot to have the meets. I think the new Target in MG would be a good spot. its closer to the highway and its got a lot of room.

So did the supra get a ticket? That sucks that the cops have to be like that but I am sure it has to do with people racing out on 94 so they tie the group to that

^no one cares when you get there. lol

I got pulled over and ticketed on that road right outside the lot.

Guess what i was doing?

Tint. Thats right cop pulled a wicked U-turn to give me a ticket for tint, not even a fix it ticket, my front windows were down.

Fuck that you will not see me at a meet in MG, change the city and find a place where cops aren't complete ass holes.

Sorry guys but i can't afford to get tickets for stupid shit, if i was racing then i wouldn't be crying about it but this sucks, esp. since i am a DOT driver and i lose my license i lose my job.

Nice seeing all of you guys there as well as meeting some more new folks. Nice weather. Thank you God!! The cops are purposely pulling this petty shit to drive us out of their city. And they will keep doing this until we are gone. That was some bullshit last night. But I think we've seen this coming as every week has been getting worse with them. Cops are there to fuck with a good group of people, just hanging out, checking out the rides and bullshitting about cars and this is what we get. Just because some people want to race on the highway, which, by the way, is not encouraged or suggested by any of us, doesn't give you any reason to just sit at our meet and fuck with people all night. What kind of people are you???? Get a life and instead of fucking with the good guys, go fuck with the bad guys or go gather over at Krispy Kream!

the supra got a ticket for no front license plate. the whole issue came up around a complaint of someone doing donts in the parking lo. which is a blatant lie. thyey never have a complaintant standing there to prove there actually was one. for all we know the cops made up the fact that there was one just to start trouble which in all likelyhood is the case.

TurboSpoolinInside
06-10-2008, 01:31 PM
I hate Maple Grove cops. I've been bothered so many times (pulled over in my Evo for no front plate ticket during that last Rogers' tornado, mega U-turn for tint-good thing I had Utah plates on it still..., followed, plates probably ran ,(he was tailing me hard)) by them I just try my best to avoid the area altogether.

06-10-2008, 01:47 PM
it is just sad that they have to bother us when we are not doing anyhting wrong. if you see us doing something that is one thing but to just hassle us when we are standing there is just rediculous.

06-10-2008, 07:30 PM
i agree the question though is where. i honestly don't see us getting the ok from the property management company due to liability and the overall view on car groups around here. We need to find a place where the business owns the building and the lot rather than leases it.

it will be the same there. it is still maple grove and they do not own their building and lot, we will still meed permission from the property company which from what i am hearing is very hard to get due to liability. you will still have all the cops with nothing to do there as well.

how bout the new Lowes, new Target, or home depot in MG? do they own their own lots?
I understand that the cops will still try to Fuck with us, but at least we would have complete permission to be in the lot.

we are still a liabilty we need to find a drive in restront or something like that where we give them business. Do they still have drive in movie theaters any where idk just a thought i guess. how big of a lot does DB have any chance of moving it there.

SO what is the deal with park and rides can we not hang out in them?

I think we should pretend that u didnt just say that. fast and furious FTL

i dont think we would have any luck trying to get permission from the people who own the parking facility.

How about HarMar, as far as I know there's no hassles up there............yet??

you will get booted the fuck out haha, last year at one of the monday night meets harsh weather was heading our way so we all booted to the ramp, yea not 2 minutes later the cops came. luckily a friend of mine was like fuck you guys a storm is coming we are staying, so they didnt care but i bet any other night they are gonna boot us from there.

Nick I am down for going this friday or something and looking around, I have wanted a new place no matter the cops or not so I can help search. anyone else down??

93z28joel
06-10-2008, 11:12 PM
I see idk i am just trying to think, that might work we would just have to walk around the mall for a while. It is a nice place all outdoors alot of cuite girls.

06-11-2008, 01:21 AM
I haven't even had the time to get out and I'm amazed at the hassles everyone has gotten.

I've actually had pretty good luck with the MG police. We had problems with fraud and they worked really well on the case!

I would say that something like the Public Library might be a good spot, or some place where there is food, such as the Chipotle area (Lee Ann Chin, Cold Stone, Panera) because there is great spots to park and plenty to do in that area. You would think because of the higher amount of traffic the police would not be as so concerned because they would know there wouldn't be "room" for behavior such as what is suggested.

Plus, we could pick up dinner there... look at me talk... haven't even been out yet and I'm yappin! I haven't been driving the Porsche much... I love my 35+ mpg high 14 second Saturn right now :-)

My vote is in for Nick's store, the Mike's Discount lot @ the Fridley location off of University and Osborne Rd. Its a perfect size lot for us but as Aaron said, the cops in Fridley are pretty bad. But they are going to be no matter what city in the burbs we have our meet at. I don't know, we should definitely solitify 2 solid meeting spots and then start a poll on which location we all like best and that will determine where our new meet spot will be. I say the sooner the better unless everyone agrees on just saying fuck em and stay put where we're at. But from the responses we are getting, maybe the time is now to get the hell out of dodge. Just my 2 cents! :thumbsup:

Blownsvt
06-11-2008, 09:27 AM
the issue with staying where we are is the cops are questioning our permission to be there now. we are going to have to get in touch with the property manager. m expierince with these situations says our chances of being allowed to stay are slim. if we move farther to the south we will lose at least a few guys from the north. its jsut a bad situationa ll around.

This is private property and we can have it here. We have a front and back lot that can hold 10 times the cars we would need it too. Also Sammy's pizza pub is right across the lot along with star bucks and a few others. How does everyone feel about Coon Rapids? Plus from dealing with the cops on a regular basis I have gotten to know most of them.

That's just the way it is. Just pick a spot and if people want to come they will. If we move it in either direction could lose a few and or gain a few.

What happened to distance not mattering? :confused: The only problem I have is with the location being on the north, and south side is 35W being down, and the pain of finding a hwy to reach for whoever is on the opposite side of that. 494/694 is the only reason it made MG somewhat not impossible to make for myself. Uni is prime for a reason, because it's dead center of the cities. Lots to do, lots of newcomers I would imagine.Closer to minneapolis is the center of the region. Also if we meet at uni what's the point of weekend meets. Also for anyone on this end that's driving through traffic the whole way down 94. Anyway the location here is closer to the cities. Coon Rapids

Why not just pick a public park parking lot? Those stay open till like 10 pm? We usually leave before then anyways? You can always say you're doing other things at a park. Makes it easier to do other things as well... like bbq's, throwing the ball around, etc. Might make it less easy to be kicked out as well?
We used do do that years ago in Red rock the cops came and hassled the hell out of us. Every night. Anyone remember the good old days at the rock?

it is not that distance matters it is more that we have a few mwmbers that have taken a really active roll in the forums and events, i just hate to put the meet out of range for guys that have cinsistently come every week despite an hour and 15 minute drive each direction. thats all. maybe they don't care i really can't say.

The whole thing this week is that there was nothign going on. ther were no donuts being done, no burnouts racing or other antics. yet we still had problems. I still want to know why i am cited on a complaint when i did absolutly nothing except answer some questions.

Confused at the Coon Rapids? Point of weekend meet was to add another meet date for people who can't make Mondays.

Mapquest for reference.

http://a89.ac-images.myspacecdn.com/images01/15/l_005cd699616c83f27f6a22b216eea108.jpg



Just an fyi. Active members = people who're close to the current meet, if you live next to the meet. Obviously you're going to show more. Ever think that there is many members, or lurkers who live out of reach of the current meet, and that is why they don't show on a regular basis? What happened to if you're a true member you would show no matter the distance? Seems like a comfort thing now that it's up in the air? :thumbsdown:I was refering to if we have the meets at uni on Mon then what's the point of weekend and vise versa. If the meet moves to Uni a ton of already existing members won't make it. We should cater more to those who have earned than those who haven't. And I tell you what, if we start showing up there on Mon.s we'll get hassled just the same as the grove. The cops there tolerate it on the weekends do you actually think they will during the week?

Confused at the Coon Rapids? Point of weekend meet was to add another meet date for people who can't make Mondays.

Just an fyi. Active members = people who're close to the current meet, if you live next to the meet. Obviously you're going to show more. Ever think that there is many members, or lurkers who live out of reach of the current meet, and that is why they don't show on a regular basis? What happened to if you're a true member you would show no matter the distance? Seems like a comfort thing now that it's up in the air? :thumbsdown:

i agree that didtanc eshould not matter if you are really dedicated but at some point it does become a factor once it is an extreme distance ie 2 hrs or more each way to hang out for a few hours. alot of the active people are not close to the meet. funny thing is a large portion of the active people live well to the north of the circle you have on the map. half of the cities we live in are not even on the screen becasue thay are too far outsde the boundries.

I know you think the meet is in our back yard marcus because it is a long ways from you, but it really isn't i drive about a half hou or so to get there and jeff comes even further than I do from bufalow along wth tanner dalbec and others. Stealth07 and redcobra vert are another hour north of me yet. i really don't think we have any one concentration point of members which is why is is so hard to get a meet spot close to everyone. at this point it is about being central and in an area where we won't have issues getting permission to be and where the cops can't hassle us for no reason.

Troy aka Bluepony said he has permission for us to meet at his work in coon rapids and the own their building, the lot and all the surrounding bussuness properties as well. he said the lot is private and the cops cannot issue tickets on the property. it might be somehting to consider with easya ccess off of hwy 10.

You should be looking at it for growth of RKC, not catering active members aka people close to the current meet location?

Marcus when will you realize that the meet is not super close to us. i would bet the average member at the maple grove meets drives between 30-45 minutes to get there. some ae significantly more than that. i am sorry you live way down in BFE but there are only 2 of you there right now. i really don't know how it would go on Uni during the week. seems strange to hang out there every weekend then go back again on Monday.

Blownsvt
06-11-2008, 04:31 PM
That isn't the reason at all. I'm just saying you're basing meet active members on people who show. All the people who show actively live around MG. There is a large member base who live east, or south of that circle as well. Obviously if most the population is from the cities. You put a meet in the middle of the cities?

who is an active member on the site that is not currently coming to the meets in maple grove, but is active on the site? just so I know. I am only aware of you adn Joegibs.

06-11-2008, 04:42 PM
I asked you to please point out the members that are south of the cities. it is not a flame fest at all. so don't lose your cool. i am willing to drive wherever i might have to. i am just trying to keep it in a place that is central for the highest concentration of members. if there are infact more members that I am not aware of from down there this is an opportunity to point that out so it can be taken into consideration rather than being defensive.

it certainly is not catered to the regional leadrs or it would be held in saint. michael or monticello.

I am.... I live in oakdale the distance is about 15 minutes further one way than i would like it to be. But I haven't been working much to get money for gas and food when i go to the MG meets. I work outside and this weather is just shit, I'm applying for a few different jobs today and i want to see how that goes. I do try to make it to some events though like Nick's little get together was pretty bad ass.

Okay... we have members from my town, Hastings, a few from WI, Oakdale, Burnsville, Mankato and surrounding areas, Apple Valley, Eagan, etc. I'm saying you shouldn't base it on active members, and more for future members. What if you moved the location, and 30+ new members showed up that weren't in your "circle" location... most members who live out of range, or don't want to make the drive just fizzle out. Obviously the ones that live close to the meet will stick around. I don't get why that is hard to understand? I'm not losing my cool. I'm discussing.

do you have user names to cite by chance. i just want to try and get a physical number. i know what you mena about haveing more people show up for sure. that is exactly what happened whent he meet movved from eden prarie to maple grove. the down fall is if you lose your current memebers to gain some new ones.


Would it make sense to try and have a meeting someplace to discuss this some night coming up here? what are everyones thoughts on that?

I think If there where people out there that where on the forms and wanted to go to MG they would have mo problem. we are in a grate loccation. alot of population, and alot of traffic. The citys are close enough that if people wanted to make the drive they would have no problem.

Is always going to be selfish needs. Perhaps give me permission, and I'll gather people, and start a southern MN meet within a year?

Just like you're being selfish right now. A few memebers don't want to drive 2 hours vs you don't want to drive 2 hours. They win. You've also been asked multiple times to produce real #s instead of bull shit.:thumbsdown: And talking about non-active members not being able to vote? Who the hell cares they're INACTIVE.


I was refering to if we have the meets at uni on Mon then what's the point of weekend and vise versa. If the meet moves to Uni a ton of already existing members won't make it.

I'm down there usually twice or three times during the week. Not including weekends. Lots of car clubs have their meets during the week there.


With all that said. A lot of clubs do have multiple meets, but RKC isn't strong enough to hold multiple meets per week. If we do that, only 5 show up to each meet instead of the what? 30 we had Monday.

Sorry to be the bad guy but someone has to do it.

Hey I know I havent made the last few events. (to much goin on) But Cant you hang out at a park and ride? I know back in the day ppl would sit at target in elk river and the cops would kick them out and would say If you guys go to the park and ride thats fine. So I would think we could go to a park and ride. I like the MG meet area (cops are assholes) Or the sounds of a new one in coon rapids.

Or an idea switch it up. I know every 3rd Wed calvers in elk river has a car show then every other wed i think there some where else like rogers, otsego. Maybe we should do that have it at a spot in MG then coon rapids, then ???some where else??? Just rotate it 1st mon (MG) 2nd mon (coon rapids) 3rd mon (???) You guys know what i mean

Coon Rapids sounds like a good move to me if we have permission whether it is a temporary one or not. That will make my ~45 min drive closer to an hour or hour 15. It's to bad the MG location took such a dive it was a nice location. Anyway thought I would throw my 2 cents in.

coon rapids sounds good for me. I work in coon rapids now so I could just skip on over after work.

if people really want to try and stay in MG I can go and ask the managers/owners of The Lookout bar and grill in MG, or Mama G's if they would let us park there.
both restaurants have car shows there once and a while so they might be ok with it.

im ok with either spot chosen.

I've been by there before. The parking lot would be perfect. There is a big Freedom gas station right across the street to the east, a Perkins Restaurant just behind the building, less then a half block south and a Dairy Queen and a Coffee shop, I think Carribou, right across the street to the north so we have plenty of business to provide to all of them. We could take a cruise over there after the Monday night meet if you guys want. It's less than 15 minutes east of Maple Grove. :thumbsup:
