Dateline: Sunland, California. Mayvis Coyle is 82 years old. She is now $114 poorer. Why? Well, Mayvis was shuffling with her cane across the street, carrying her groceries, “while a traffic police officer watched and waited.”
10news.com reports that
“Even before Coyle finished crossing the intersection at Woodward Avenue, he had scribbled a $114 ticket for crossing against a don’t-walk signal, the Daily News reported.”
Mrs. Coyle is challenging the ticket. She told the Daily News, “It turned red before I could get over. There he was, waiting, the motorcycle cop. He said, ‘You’re obstructing the flow of traffic’.”
The story goes on to say that Mrs. Coyle and other seniors at the ‘Monte Vista Mobile Estates’ “are up in arms over signals they say are too short to safely cross” the busy boulevard.
Is it a stretch to think that the traffic cop in question is not a former Boy Scout?
