Can I smoke In a school zone during the summer?

[Anonymous]

Staying at my dad’s new house this summer and it’s an elementary school behind him. It’s a new neighborhood so there aren’t any fences up I can just walk right into the schools parking lot. School is out since it’s the summer and it’s no school I should be able to smoke in the backyard without any problems from police right?

There's generally no rule against smoking on school property, and if it's a public school, it's legally public property. Someone could report you as a suspicious person though, which might get you a police visit.

Sounds more like your Dad doesn't allow smoking in his (new) house, and you're looking for an easy out.

As in tobacco? On private property? I would say you're fine. If you're talking green, then if its legal there and or your legal again private property no issue.

It's important to check local regulations, as laws regarding smoking in school zones can vary. Typically, smoking in school zones is prohibited regardless of whether school is in session due to public health and safety regulations. Even during summer, it is advisable to smoke in private areas like your backyard, away from school property, to avoid any legal issues. To ensure compliance, reviewing local ordinances or checking with local authorities could be beneficial.

The cops will not even bother to investigate

Laws and bylaws don't change because school is in and out.
Secondly it's most likely private property in your trespassing
