I am a concerned Staten Island resident. Where are the cops? Or is it a cop, or some other entitled person, that doesn’t think the rules apply to him? I walk in the area of Prince’s Bay and the other day, while I waited to cross the street, a car pulled up to a red light and blew right through it.
He did it again a half a block away. It is not the first time I saw this happen. I see it so often that I now question, “did we change the law?” New law: Stopping at a red light is merely a suggestion. What is going on? I have gone through a light by accident. One time I even went through a stop sign and was stopped by the police. Not anymore. I see so many dangerous road infractions that it makes me wonder if there are two sets of rules.
Where are the cops? Is the city making so much money on the red light cameras and the speed cameras that we don’t need cops anymore? Has this gone the way of the grocery store self ring on the registers?…
