Interesting point, legion. I once asked a (Massachusetts) cop friend about this type of scenario: jurisdiction in a parking lot. At least in Mass (and probably in a lot of other states, I would guess), he explained that if the lot is open to public transit, even if it's technically private property, then it's a location where law enforcement is allowed to do that--enforce the laws. Not only is this true during "normal business hours" of the establishment, but also when said establishment is closed (so, 24/7/365). However, if you're doing something in your own driveway at home, then he can't come arrest you/give you a ticket.
