In the following article extract Bill states:

Note:  I do not recommend this.  I almost received a negligent driving
       ticket once doing such.  A real addition to Bill's advice is to
       first check with the local, and state affecting laws regarding
       such activity.

I thought that the police could only give out tickets on public
property (roads and the like).  If this was a private parking lot, as
in a shopping center for example, they would be restricted.

I was told once, after an accident in a mall parking lot, that the cop
couldn't give the other guy a ticket for this very reason.  Has the law
changed?
