thanks del, merged the topics

over the years, loads of people have parked out at the bay to watch storms, or even on pleasant nights, to dutch up cars. also, parking amongst a couple of apartment blocks in the middle of the night isnt exactly a good look... you could be casing the joint/stalking someone. 3 cars might be a bit excessive, but i dont blame the cops for checking your car.
next time pick a better vantage point

i wasnt in my car i was sitting on the beach about 100m in front of the apartments. minding my own business. i think them getting out of the car and disturbing my peace was a bit excessive. if i was sitting there in my car, being 'disrespectful' i could understand their concern.
Firstly:
Secondly: The high police presence at Glenelg is completely necessary. As a local my car has been vandilised 4 times over the last 12 months, costing me a total of $2000.
I have been stalked and yelled at walking my dog, a young woman was followed down the Esplanade and brutally beaten and raped.
Young people drive under the influence frequently in the area, speed around the local streets and consistently damage property. I have requested patrols down my streets to reduce the damage to my vehicle and for safety reasons.
It's good to see they have actually increased patrols imo!

yeah fair enough. if i was walking around looking suspicous i'd understand
why does everybody think i was in my car?
says in my initial post that i was on the beach. THEY pulled up in between the apartments. geddit?
and if they hadnt disturbed my peace and quiet i wouldnt have been a smart arse. its the same as walking down the street (minding your own business) and some dick picking a fight with you. no-one likes it
