Public Park Usage Rights

Summary

Using public park facilities like swings is generally allowed unless specific rules are violated. If police find no wrongdoing, theres likely no legal issue. If you feel harassed or discriminated against, document incidents and consider consulting a lawyer. Emergency services responding to non-emergencies might lead to consequences for the caller, not you.

Hi Tiffany, nice to meet you! Could you share a bit more about your legal issue so I can assist you better?
I am from Suffolk County New York
Hi Tiffany! Thanks for sharing your location. Could you tell me more about your legal issue, like what area of law it involves? This will help me provide more specific information.
If I was just swinging on the swings at a public park someone called the cops on for it and when the cops showed up they said it wasn't a crime
Hey Tiffany! It sounds like you're wondering about potential legal issues around using public park facilities. Generally, using public swings isn't illegal unless there's specific park rules against it or you're causing a disturbance. Were there any specific complaints or concerns raised by the person who called the cops?
While my brother and I were using the swings, a woman approached us, questioned us about our residence and names, and claimed her daughters were scared. She then called the police and insisted we wait for their arrival, despite there being no age restrictions on the swings. The police arrived, allowed us to file a report, and then let us go home.

Hey Tiffany! It seems like you experienced an uncomfortable situation. In public parks, you typically have the right to use facilities as long as you're not violating any park rules. Since the police didn't find any wrongdoing, there's likely no legal issue here. However, if you feel harassed or discriminated against, consider discussing it with park management or a legal advisor.
And what if the lady is * the emergency line and when they show up I am just swinging on swings
Case Rating: *
Hey Tiffany! If the lady calls * and you're simply using the swings, and the police find no issue, then there's likely no legal consequence for you. Emergency services responding to non-emergencies might lead to consequences for the caller, not you. If you feel harassed, consider talking to park management or seeking advice from a legal advisor.
Do you think I'm being harassed
Case Rating: *
Hey Tiffany! From what you've described, it seems like the situation wasn't handled well by the other party. If you feel singled out or unfairly targeted, it might be harassment. Document any similar future incidents and consider consulting a lawyer for advice.
Okay thanks
