    Let's say I want to play basketball late night, and I'd rather do so at a local basketball court.... all I'm doing is playing basketball. I have nothing illegal on me. There is a sign that states "closed after dawn"

    If I am respectful with the officer.... would I get slapped on the wrist with a warning, or is there a possibility of being arrested and charged for trespassing?

    I mostly play at 24 hour fitness, Silver Lakes community courts, and at certain schools, but sometimes if I can't sleep late at night I like to shoot around, do suicides, etc. and I like to practice on my own. Can't do so at 24 hour fitness. There are always people there, and I'm not always looking to get into a game. Basketball is one of my favorite ways to just get my mind away from everything else in the world while also getting in a productive workout.

    Might be a stupid question but I'm the paranoid type.... I don't have a single mark on my record and I can't afford to ever get one.

    BTW - anyone know of any indoor courts in Broward that are kept open at all times?

    Used to go to Walter C. Young Middle School but they keep it locked now.

    It really all depends on you and the mood/temperament of the officer. You really can't guarantee that you wouldn't be cited and most officers I know say a lot hinges on how you act towards them. Could really go either way. Long point short: it is technically illegal, however harmless it may be.

    everytime I've been at a park after they close there are those nosy neighbor types that call the cops, because everyone will assume you are up to no good.

    That law is never enforced. I'd be shocked if you ever even saw a cop there.

    Thats good community policing right there!!!!

    HD they probrably wont do much, arresting somebody for trespassing is more paperwork, and takes a cop off the street for that time period over some bull...also it is a weak arrest, and will probably cause the cuy to get his chops busted by his fellow workmates...

    HOCKEY!?!?!?! I'd shoot myself. :D

    I'll just keep taking my chances. I've been warned before about Silver Lakes pool, but it's not my fault they keep the lights on and the gate open at all times.

    Will just park elsewhere.... not a single cop in Broward can catch me on foot.

    4.46 *****.

    The paperwork involved for bringing you in would deter any cop IMO (although he might want to see your ID and run it for precaution & to scare you)...... not to mention the razzing he'd get from fellow cops if he booked you. "What'd you do today?" "I took down a guy who was holding up a liquor store with 8 innocent civilians inside". "How about you Dominguez?" <"Ummmm..... I arrested a guy for playing basketball after hours."> "Way to keep the streets safe Dominguez! Let us know if you need backup next time." "Hey Dominguez, was his foot over the free throw line?"

    if you're paranoid about a criminal record why do you smoke weed.

    yes but it is only illegal bc people wrote on a piece of paper that it is. say its not a crime if it cant/doesnt hurt anyone.

    so **** go ahead a smoke a joint while you walk across a private golf course

    How has this thread been turned from a question about trespassing on a basketball court to just a bunch of marijuana references? :lol:

    What HD doesn't know is they use basketball courts in the hood like sting operations.
