This is complete BS and the mayor is going to have get his Affirmative Action cretin Police Chief under control and make them start harassing criminals instead of soccer moms.
How dare she think she can park to pick up her child. Only the knights of the realm may park to ticket the serfs.
My child used to attend a school that had a similar parking problem. I told my 6 year old to walk around the corner and sit on the steps of the priest’s house to wait for me. I’d come just a few minutes late, just to wait for the traffic to clear. Today I’d be arrested for having “free range” child.
Reading the comments on the site sheds a lot of light on the story.
She must be special, since the rules don’t apply to her.
Is the town bleeding for cash to target parents like this!
“charge of resisting an officer without violence”
Cops are a necessary evil but this resisting with or with out violence crap is out of control and will get worse as more and more people say FU to the man when he uses no “COMMON SENCE”and probably has none.
Three sides to every story: One side, the other side, and the truth....
Getting a citation can turn to heavier actions if one opts to be a "Hillary" who doesn't think statutes apply to them.
And another tragedy for the commons.
Nobody rides the bus any more. Morning rush hour has become ridiculous in front of schools. The volume is overwhelming and municipalities are now forced to provide police to direct traffic in front of schools. Trips that pass schools and should take 10 minutes now take 40 minutes
Let your kids ride the damn bus. If you live within a 1/4 mile of school, let the kids walk. God knows they could use the exercise.
A comment from the article:
We are so inundated with “third world” DUMB PATHETIC SELF CENTERED PEOPLE, that the idea of following the rules, common sense or thinking of “other” people’s property is gone !
So I FULLY understand why the Police are there and SHOULD BE THERE, if this is what’s going on. Ticket them to death, till they get the message, that destroying other people’s property in NOT an option.
...
“I was on the phone, distracted, and the officer asked me to move. . . ,” the woman said. Can’t help but think this is part of the problem. Hang up and live life.
Musta been a White woman or weeda heard about it all over the news.
Her BIGGEST MISTAKE, of course, is sending her kids to public school. But then again, some liberals cannot help themselves. Thankfully people on THIS SITE understand the irreparable damage public schools do to kids...damage that parents can neither control or counteract.
you’ll never get arrested picking your kid up ... if you home school
General advice to make everyone’s life easier.
1) If you are parked illegally and a cop tells you to move, move.
2) If you are chatting on a cell phone and a cop addresses you, make the other person on the phone wait while you see what the cop’s issue might be.
3) If a cop tells you to get out of the car, and there isn’t a traffic issue, get out of the car.
4) If a cop wants you in cuffs, don’t struggle with him. The best outcome for you will be a trip to jail.
5) Don’t argue law with the cop. Take the ticket, and argue with the judge.
6) Never consent to a search. But use only verbal responses.
“You can beat the rap, but you can’t beat the ride”
The drop off AM and pick up PM lines at the schools in this area are a horrible mess. Most kids don’t ride the bus but the buses still run starting at 0530 and for what seems like most of the rest of the day. They run in convoys.
Apparently discipline is so bad that only “special” cretins ride the bus.
There are special buses for early events, late events and each school thus the all day convoy of tax payer paid service for the “special” cretins.
This is complete BS and the mayor is going to have get his Affirmative Action cretin Police Chief under control and make them start harassing criminals instead of soccer moms.
