In the state of Ohio, leaving a car running unattended is illegal. Here is the code.

So because it is illegal in Ohio it is just flat out illegal? Owning anything but a plug-in matchbox car is illegal in California...by your logic I can't own a real car in Michigan.

The confusion may abate if you'll put down the dope.

Very cool. So the question that I have now is can your canbus comm tool be used in conjunction with a tuning tool? I used to tune Ford, GM and Mopars. Fors and Mopars do not like multiple canbus tools talking to them at once...

It isn't a Canbus tool, the name can throw people off. It is just a remote starter with a bunch of other really cool features built in. All controlled from the original factory remote.

So yes, it can be used with any other tuning tools.

Here in AUS a driver was issued a ticket last week for parking his vehicle at a service station with the windows down and doors not locked whilst he went inside to buy something. He'd probably be locked up if the engine was running!

How's that illegal? People keep their windows down and doors unlocked, all, the, time. Is your gov't saying that YOU are tempting weak thieves into mischief?

I believe an unattended vehicle is required to be secured. It may sound strange but that's the law.

Protecting you from yourself, heh. Just like motorcycle helmet laws and driver seatbelt laws. Nanny state mentality. Of course, it is about revenue.

Probably because it had the keys in it.

It is illegal here in BC Canada to leave your car unsecured. Had a friend that was given a ticket in Vancouver for leaving his car unlocked while he popped in to grab his take-out pizza. His car was parked legally on the street and all his windows were rolled up, but the drivers door was unlocked. The cop was at his car when he returned - Cost him $70!!

How did the cop know in the first place? Just looking for a chance to make money for the gov't. Not enough real criminal activity going on to guarantee job security, so they are scoping out ordinary citizens to see if they can get them on a technicality. I imagine this cop watching people getting out of their cars, and he goes up and tests doors, and when he finds one that opens, he waits for the driver to return and cites them. Bastards.

It’s to stop kangaroos from hoping into the window and stealing the car.

Well there's a thought: how does one "secure" a convertible?

You don't. Only pimps and lunatics drive convertibles so its assumed you're a criminal anyways.

Except miatas. I assume those who drive miatas who aren't pimps or lunatics probably have the good sense to park it with the top up.

Caterham and Ariel drivers are for more nefarious though, call the feds if you see one.

So you're asserting that any convertible with the top down and parked is easy meat for a citation happy cop? Basically, a convertible is "illegal" to park with the top down?

That's right! In fact it's likely probable cause for investigation of the other crimes that individual is most definitely perpetrating
