You know, I see people walk in the street all the time. And for the life of me, I am dumbfounded as to the why. There is a perfectly good sidewalk and people walk beside the sidewalk in the street.

However, I just get the feeling that because someone has a uniform, badge, and gun, they can order people on the sidewalk. I can somewhat understand that maybe there might be a disrespect for authority but is that against the law? Is it the law that we - as citizens - have to do everything a police officer says? And if we don't obey what the officer says, do we then go into the disobeying side and thus subject to arrest?

I don't know if they take steroids or not, but I have long felt that the police are not our friends. And while we may it is in certain neighborhoods, I know from personal experience that they - the police - consider all of us the enemy.

I guess the place to start is to determine whether there is a law on the books in this community that restricts walking on the street. The law has to exist before it can be enforced.

Well, in our small town, we often use the street because the sidewalks are old, broken and uneven. The street is also better lit than the sidewalk which is often shadowed by trees, cars, fencing and shrubbery. We also don't get yapped at by dogs as much when passing through "their" territory.
