Nobody has pointed out that this guy didn't just randomly go up to the school. His kid was at soccer practice there. Presumably the school has reasonable accommodations to be made for the people who are using it. This person certainly pays taxes that support the school.

If he went up to the water fountain outside the restroom and filled a water bottle from it, should he be charged with theft for that?



The slight difference being that, from the video, it seemed like you had to walk 'off trail' to get to the outlet.

If the outlet was obviously obfuscated or inaccessible, this argument is lessened.

(My other posts I remark that he also has precedence because several government entities - parks and rest areas - offer free electric car charging)
