Posted by Jac Steel Police don't care how vandalized a building is; they will still arrest you if they catch you trespassing. Vandals also don't care how much graffiti is in a building; they will still vandalize it.

Hmm, I still don't understand what you are trying to say to me.

Since I first joined I've felt welcome. Granted most of my explorer interaction is on Flickr and Instagram, but those I've chatted with here are helpful and a resource (which is what this site is). Getting past the hurdle of not getting private info from people was hard, but you try to build trust with people and things become more open, privately. At times I wish there was an open source DB that we could all use, but it's not practical and is detrimental to preserving sites.

This is not directed to anyone, but Police can access this site and find out read forums. After determining a "hot" location they can either have it sealed or wait to catch trespassers. This is exactly why people don't post locations. Supposed I posted that tonight I am going to explore the Jewel at Foster and Pulaski at 9pm tonight. Who wants to join me? (The Jewel is live)
An officer could read this and totally arrest anyone who gets inside the place (if it was abandoned).

We need a macro of Samuel L Jackson right about now...

We should send the cops to camp out waiting for explorers that never show up at stupid small locations all the time har har har
