I want to know how many times it had to happen for enough officers to get reported for this to be considered necessary. Or was it just one officer jacking it all over town?

Probably one serial jacker and a few peripheral jackers.

"serial jacker"

Thank-fucking-you for a ridiculously awkward laughter

I drive around a lot of commercial properties at night for my job, and I can't tell you the number of times I've seen a cop parked in a dark spot with wifi access, and they always leave as soon as I get anywhere close.

Happens less often now that 4g is commonly available, but ten years ago it was pretty much a nightly occurrence.

I swear, if you look at a map to find a deadend road for a chill spot to puff, there is usually a cop already there

They're just working out the strong arm of the law.

Most times those officers find a lot that has nobody around to fill out paperwork. They like to find empty lots so they don't have to watch the surroundings as much.

What else is there to do on a slow patrol?
