If I were to report a suspicious person at or near the vicinity of Sidecar donuts and then placed another call about another suspicious person at or near my house, do you think you could bring me some donuts?

When I/we hear "suspicious person" we roll our eyes and continue doing what we're doing. Lol! |

We had our local PD in here today for some safety training. I noticed his usual stealth Charger had been replaced by a marked Tahoe. I asked him if he missed the Charger and he said they were all gone. The whole PD is migrating to SUVs.
I always liked the Chargers, end of an era.

However, if you think those are cramped you might get a kick out of HPD's stealth Camaro's. I did get to sit in one of those and it was tight even by Camaro standards.

OK, got one for the resident deputy...
Generally speaking pedestrians always have the right of way. We know this. When a pedestrian arrives at a crosswalk and wishes to cross and there is an approaching car, it's on the car to stop for the pedestrian to let them cross. But what if said car is already in the intersection when the pedestrian arrives at the crosswalk? Is the driver expected to stop IN the intersection and yield to the pedestrian or are they expected to clear the intersection, effectively ignoring the fact that the pedestrian is standing there wanting to cross? Yes this stems from a personal experience today where I was approaching an intersection and two people we standing on the corner chatting with each other. The one with his back to the street abruptly turned around 180 and stepped into the crosswalk in one motion while I was in the intersection driving through. I kept going, he yelled at me and gave the finger. My only other option was to jam on the brakes and stop in the intersection, which seemed wrong. But I'm honestly not sure who was in the right. Maybe he was? |

We have those illuminated walkway signals all over Seattle. The pedestrian presses a button at the crosswalk and instantly a bunch of strobe lights on signs light up to catch the drivers attention. I generally like them because honestly it's sometimes hard to tell if someone wants to cross or is just hanging out on the corner. The one annoying thing is pretty much every pedestrian who presses that button things it's a "press this and the world stops immediately" button. I'm in a heavy ass SUV going 30 mph. I can't stop in 0.001 seconds just because you pressed a button! |

And how stupid is this guy? He didn't know it was a police car, or he smartened up and realized nothing good can come from this. The crime is out of control. It's a free for all. https://fox2now.com/news/missouri/ma...sed-from-jail/

As for peaceful, the cross walk signals that I saw in London had loud beepers on them to alert pedestrians that they could cross and when the time was about to expire. Can't picture those beepers being used here in the USA, with all of the NIMBYs and Karens.....

If you weren't eating all those donuts, would you need all the space in the SUV?
The beeping crosswalk lights by work seem to be like the sonic rat traps: homeless don't like it and move to another uncontrolled intersection
