[Vision2020] [corrected] Hmmm . . .

How about a public alley?  A friend of mine was "frequenting a place 
where [illegal] drugs are used" while kissing a friend in the alley 
outside the Co-Op. No drugs were found, she just paid the fine to make 
it go away, he was fighting it, I don't recall what happened.

It's just a "catch-all" law designed to allow the cops to harass you if 
they so please.
