I have not ever been able to access the Long Beach City Parks one but I am guessing that there is no password or pin needed.

All I am doing is instead of being inside the Library or being out side in the Library Parking Lot (which can be done during times the Library is closed) with My LapTop I will errect the WiFi Antenna and access it from My Home.
Also the Library is piad off by some of My Tax Money and I am a resident in the City I am speaking of.

So I am not hacking into some private parties WiFi.

As one of the other Posts suggested Cities are starting to want to give free WiFi to the Citizens because it saves them money and passes on info that the City would otherwise have to mail out to people.
It won't be long before there will be Free WiFi for everyone in their home with out special equipment.

Read the usage agreement. Most I have read limit use to on-site/while patronizing the establishment.

Then - think about it morally. Why is it any different that you are making use of something a company or a government agency is paying for instead of a private citizen?

If/when your town or city builds out a free WiFi network, that would (in my opinion) be completely different than using bandwidth someone is paying for with no intention of providing it free to you in your home.
