From The Indianapolis Times, Friday, December 7, 1923: While an opinion issued by the Indiana attorney general said police officers are not authorized to require persons who stop on a public highway to move on, Marion County Sheriff George Snider contends it’s a moral crusade to break up “petting parties” in country lanes. Last summer on moonlit nights, the sheriff and deputies, scoured country byways, warning parking parties of the danger posed by robbery men and those preying on women. “I don’t say people haven’t a perfect right to stop by a woodland dell to chat instead of on the family front porch, but if people just knew the times some tough has appeared at the side of a car with a gun drawn, they would not belittle my efforts to have the chatting done in porch swings,” Snider said.
