No one is saying they are afraid of the police. The fact is that people who own fast food places make their money on rapid turn over. Despite what you may think, most are not pleased to have people stay on the premises for extended periods of time. I know for a fact that some owners ask police to help in this regard by enforcing loitering and other related nuisance statutes.
It's also a fact that if you are cited by local police and go to court, the court will virtually always take the side of the police unless there is clear and verifiable evidence to the contrary. Ask people who've been to Seaside Heights, for example. Don't forget, the summons written by police are an important source of municipal revenue.
You are, of course, welcome to see this as you choose. I have sufficient personal experience to know the truth about what I'm saying. I worked with people who were local police officers for over 25 years. They made it clear about the way things work. Perhaps your experiences will be the exception.
