Wow, not sure where you live or stop your vehicle but for simple consumer use the park and pop feature is a welcome sign to me.
For the safety of government officials this needs to be turned off though.
I live in Maryland (Montgomery County). I usually don’t have much need to go out at night; however, some of the areas in our county are less than crime free. I am afraid it is just a way of life and one gets use to having a “street sense” of sorts. You need to be aware of anyone near the vehicle, if the vehicle can be seen... just as a good, common sense precaution. Better safe than sorry, I guess.
