KIDS IN BARS?!?!?! INCONCEIVABLE!!!!

Its about damn time, IN.

Now let minors check ID at checkouts, will ya?

Not happy about kids being allowed to sit in bars. My wife and I prefer to sit in the bar to avoid kids.

25' buffer zone? What kind of unconstitutional is this?
If I see something, I'm going to record it & I have a right to get close enough to acquire A&V as long as I'm not "interfering".

Wife and I just talked about that. Our kids are finally old enough for us to go out on date nights. And we enjoy bypassing the wait by sitting in the bar. 95% of the time that works.

It was a silly law to begin with. Especially with places like Wings etc. that only divide the bar / restaurant sections by putting up an open railing of 2" iron pipe. Might as well be a stripe on the floor.

HEA 1186, signed by the governor on April 20, establishes a 25-foot “buffer zone” for police investigations. Under the measure, anyone who “knowingly or intentionally” approaches within 25 feet of a police officer after being ordered to stop is subject to a Class C misdemeanor.

The law classifies an “emergency incident area” as being “defined by police or firefighters with flags, barricades, barrier tape or other markers.” It spans either 25 feet in “all directions from the perimeter of the emergency incident” or 25 feet in all directions “from the perimeter of the emergency incident that is articulated by a law enforcement officer.”

The ACLU has fought this in other states...

The fact that's there is a circuit split about this very subject and SCOTUS has refused to resolve is disgusting.

Red light cameras and widespread speed cameras by 2026. Foot is in the door now.

As someone who works along / in the road and having one of the traffic guys I've worked with get hit and killed, if people would pay attention and slow down this would be a non issue.
As long as you drive the posted limit, hang up the phone and pay attention this is a non issue.
Sorry you (not you) might be inconvenienced, but I'd like to go home and see my wife

That’s very true, I’m not a phone in the car person but it’s sad that’s the majority now adays making it dangerous for everyone else.

The 25ft. law is ****ing stupid. Will we be measuring it to the inch? What if one is attempting to help at the scene. Whatever, it's ****ing stupid - and wrong. The kids in bar area is only catching up with the rest of the country. @Cameramonkey is right, the divide/separation has become so trivial that it can sometimes be unclear where family dining stops and adult dining starts. I didn't realize 18-20 year olds were already allowed to sit in the bar area if with adult. The speed camera "pilot program" is simply the beginning to a greater use of cameras for revenue. Per the bill, if ticketed you only pay a civil fine and not points on your license; so only for money and money is addictive to gov's.

It’s 2008 in Phoenix all over again. How can our legislators be so idiotic as to not learn from the mistakes of others?

If you want to prevent coworkers from being hit, then you should be AGAINST the cameras.
No one knows about the camera TILL THEY GET THE TICKET AT HOME.

Petition for more officers to be hired, and to police the construction zones.

Yep. Visible cops are prevention. Tickets after the fact are punishment after the fact revenue generation and do little to protect those workers.

Sounds good , but i might be in one spot for an hour then move 10 miles away or i could be in the general area for a month. The only time Ive ever had officers with me in Indiana was working in Gary.
Utility companies generally dont hire officers for construction zones

I was on a jobsite last week that did in fact have an office on it, an off duty State Trooper. Talking with him they are there for security and a "presence" no ticket or arrest authority while doing construction zone work.
He said they didnt have to wear their regular "uniform", he had on jeans and a blue shirt that said police. he did say they got paid about double doing the side work compared to his regular duty.
