April 12, 2006 - Check out this article below on how a 82 year old woman got ticketed for crossing the street too slowly! Seriously, how low can this LAPD officer get? and I definitely do not buy the whole "we were looking out for our seniors" excuse - I mean, if the officer really wanted to help the lady, he would have stopped traffic and helped her cross the street! Aren't cops supposed to work for the people?------
Officer cites 82-year-old woman for being too slow to negotiate busy street
Sunland- Mayvis Coyle, 82, was shuffling with her cane across busy Foothill Boulevard while a traffic police officer watched and waited.

"I entered the crosswalk, it was green," said Coyle, of Sunland, who is fighting the infraction issued Feb. 15. "It turned red before I could get over. There he was, waiting, the motorcycle cop.
"He said, `You're obstructing the flow of traffic."'
