So using that argument legally the cop can cite your daily driver if the battery happened to go dead and you removed it to go to parts house to get another one. Once you got back home with the new one you had to use the bathroom or it was late or whatever and you did not go put it back in right away, Barney just happens to show up before you put it back in and wham ....$1000 fine. I will see him in court.....

As long as the car is tagged, insured and able to be started with minimal effort I see no problem. Getting the battery out of the garage off charge is minimal effort.

And no I do not feel 730 in the morning is reasonable to be coming on my private property busting my chops over my classic.

just my 2 cents though..............
