After I had finished my breakfast this morning and wrote a quick blog about the Leonard Cohen concert last night at The Midland, I was checking emails and kept hearing an insane amount of police sirens. You know those quick little bursts of bells and whistles informing YOU, the driver, you needed to pull over. Upon inspection I found out it was a “Sting”… at least I guess that’s what you’d call it.
Here’s how it goes:

On can only assume this normal looking individual is a plain clothes police officer. His job, if you will, is to enter the crosswalk and proceed across the street. Note the “Pedestrian Crossing” sign.

As the cars approach, they’re supposed to yield to pedestrians.

SAM_0398

This person, clearly, didn’t. And the hawk was waiting!

SAM_0399

SAM_0400

Sucka’s last moment of freedom!

SAM_0401

BUSTED!

SAM_0375

You’d think this guy would be safe. Clearly the “cop” isn’t onto his side of the street yet. But…

SAM_0379

Busted too!

And look who came out to report! Who is that? Channel 9, maybe 5? How’d you guys hear about this? Just curious :)

Lesson here is simple kids, when seeing a person or persons crossing inside their little safety box AKA the cross walk, might wanna slow down and let them through. You never know, they might nab you and give you a ticket!
