Right on, Officers. That’s good news actually. Hope you get more. Even if you do, they’ll NEVER stop texting, running red lights & lately, I’ve even been seeing cars cutting of pedestrians as they walk from the crosswalk. This needs to stop. Keep up the AMAZING work, Officers.
Please please Keep doing this It’s getting really bad all day every day I see dozens of drivers that make a right turn at a red light and don’t even stop at the corner or are driving holding their phone like a slice of pizza talking on It. Or severely running the light to make the left turn
Thank you, David and Jason, right on the comment is right.
