Here is how you rid yourself of Officer Charlene.

Get yourself a videocamera,  video surrepitiously the intersection,
showing cars obeying the stop sign.  Meanwhile, go and set up another camera
and videotape her showing her vehicle and how she can't observe the
intersection.   Then try and tape her nailing people.

You might need the help of a local newsstation,  but i'd suggest you do it
yourself.

Once you have the tape,  either go around to some newsstations and
have them air it,  or make copies and present them to the CHief of
Police or the Council.

I would suggest the press.  They are more effective at embarassing people.
