To be honest, I suspect that there are alot of "rolling stops" on that
corner--by DC drivers as well as others--but she often cannot see the
stop line from her position, and wouldn't know which was which (a
stopper or a roller). 

One time Officer Charlene stopped a car BEHIND one that did not stop at
the intersection (I swear to God this is true) and, when confronted
with the fact that this driver had made a COMPLETE stop, stated "but I
couldn't catch the other guy."  My neighbor got off with a warning!

We occasionally complain to our city councilman, and Officer C goes
away for a while, but warning each other (and laughing and pointing at
her whenever we pass) is the only easily available solution.  Since it
is once more the end of the month, I expect to be seeing her shortly.

I am a VERY law abiding citizen by the way, and object to this because
it is a case where the police have NO REGARD for public safety, and
instead have taken up robbing the public themselves.
