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. :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* :* Toni Burnham Publications Guru CFS/The World Bank Email aburnham@worldbank.org These comments are my own and are unlikely to resemble those of my employer.
