What you describe happens in Autocross venues across the country. Many are done in big parking lots.

Now I am confused. Boxing is legal in the state of Nevada, but only in the designated ring. Do they determine the exact ring by longitude and latitude? What about if a punch gets thrown at the weigh in? What about boxing gym's? Are their rings legally designated too? Can a sparring event take place outside a designated ring without participants being arrested ?

It may very from state to state but if it's on your own property who are the police to tell you what you can and can not do. Did this on a buddies private property and the cops did come cuz it was right by a town. He just watched us and when we were done he came over and said I better not catch you on any public roads doing that. He said by the way nice burnout! So if it's your property let it rip

Since you live in Georgia, I found this covering your topic:

Hope you find this helpful and good luck.

By the way, was there a charge under state law or local ordinance?

laying drag is will get you a ticket in Ga and I would imagine a lot of other states. However, if it is private property, don't see how they have any jurisdiction.

Don't over analyze it, its really simple. designated ring in a boxing area is the ring thats roped off to the public. If a sparring event took place outside a designated ring and the public was posed at risk, then yes..participants can be arrested..and truly I believe even if no bystanders were at risk they could still be arrested for domestic violence.

You see, the thing is people are assuming that Police do not have Jurisdiction on private property, this is not true. They do...The only thing they cannot enforce on private property are general traffic laws, such as speed limits, stop signs, ect and thats because these are Government mandated entities which must adhere to certain code and most private parking lots, streets, ect do not adhere to these codes thus making them unenforceable.. PUBLIC SAFETY laws however are still inherited within the private vicinity if there is any access to the public in any regard...so regardless if you own the property or not, you are still legally obliged to adhere to public safety laws. If you are doing something reckless even in your own private vicinity which may pose danger to the general public..then yes..a cop can cite you for it.

So basically, you run a stop sign in a parking lot - can a cop give you a ticket for running a stop sign? No, however; he CAN give you a ticket for driving in an unsafe manner which may endanger the public.

If you want to leave black marks on your pavement I think that's your bidness and of no concern of the police. Thats like saying if you live out in the country and you have a couple green open field acreage next to a highway and you decide you want to take your car, jeep or whatever and do donuts, some jumps, open it up wide open across the fieid, stunts etc. How are the cops going to say you can't do it on your property?

There is still some question about the legality of laying drags in a boxing ring

Ask a friend in the local law enforcement and ignore all of us. You can actually be ticketed for a DUI on your own property in most states so I wouldn't be surprised if there's several other laws that you could possibly be breaking like a noise violation or unsafe operation of a vehicle. Also, I would do it during the day vs. late in the evening solely for the noise complaint issue. If it were me I'd just be safe and let it rip.

Wow, this link was spot on....

"Even if the laying drags incident occurred on private property like a driveway or private parking lot, this element will not create a successful defense for individuals."

"The laying drags law also does not apply to drivers who are operating motor vehicles on any drag strips, raceways, or other places used for such activity."

"Being convicted for laying drags has the potential in a number of significant penalties including a one thousand dollar fine, increased insurance rates, and three points placed on the motor vehicle operator’s driver’s license, and even a potential of up to twelve months in jail time."

Exactly what I stated from the start... It is a public safety concern, not a traffic law.. private property are not exempt from public safety laws...even if you own the property.
