That's been the worst interaction with police that I have personally had while spotting, but there have been some horror stories about people having their gear taken away for a while by the police while they sit somewhere and wait (I can only imagine that they aren't really doing anything with the equipment, just making you wait for the fun of it).  I suppose its really spot-at-your-own risk at this locations.  I would imagine, however, that if you went at night (such as I did that one time), that nobody would be around to bother you, so that may be a better option for this location.

Another possibility for avoiding too much police and MassPort attention is to spot from Level 4, instead of the roof (Level 5).  While this limits your view to takeoffs on 27 and the 22's, and landings on 9, and the 4's (all in the afternoon), the general consensus is that the MassPort trucks patrol this level much less frequently.  Be careful, though, if you do run into one, since the one good spotting location on this level has a "no trespassing" sign posted right near it (it's basically impossible to argue you missed seeing it), so its probably a good idea avoiding any confrontation with the authorities at this spot.
