Hate it. It’s so annoying. The stores in the area hate it because it pisses people off and they complain to the stores and them the stores are like we hate them as well but the cops put them there.

If they’re on a store’s parkinglot, they’re trespassing if they’re there without the store’s consent. That means they can be removed.

Most stores are tenants of a landlord. Even those Walmart warehouses are leased, often both in land and structure.

Even if they are tenants to a lease, the doctrine of quiet enjoyment would prohibit a landlord from being able to freely agree to having police property sitting on the store’s parking lot if their lease covers the parking lot. It’s kinda like renting a house with a yard: your lease is for the house and the yard surrounding the house. A landlord cannot just come on top the lawn and start ripping it up without the tenant’s permission.
