In Pittsburg California, the police department consider themselves to be above the law. They break the laws that they enforce on a daily basis, while, at the same time they ticket people for doing what they do. Should they be given exemption from the laws of the land? Or should they be subject to the same rules they enforce. I will also document the times when they issue tickets wrongly,as well as the many times they are called to carry out their duties in the neighborhoods and fail.

Driving down Hanlon I saw an officer in what I believe was car 113 (there was a glare keeping me from getting a good luck at the number). At the intersection of Trident and Hanlon the officer rolled through the stop sign. To compound the error he failed to let pedestrians, in this case school children, fully pass through the crosswalk. This was not a divided road, nor was there an island. The officer, by law, was required to let the pedestrians fully cross the cross walk before proceeding through the intersection. His urgent business led him into the Willow Cove elementary school parking lot, 1/2 of a block away.
