Seems like the law, mall cops and news articles might be jumping to conclusions. Should it matter whether or not the car was actually charging? Just because it was plugged in, doesn't necessarily mean it was charging. If it was charging when the woman disconnected the charging cable, then I...

Wonder if law enforcement would have the same response if Tesla owners parked their cars beside fuel pumps and went to eat at restaurants?
