Dear Mr. 'Watchin Police' : 9/22/2009
Dear Mr. "Watchin Police" maybe you should have looked to see if there was a sign before making your comment. There is a sign there that says "No left turn into Post Office". I just drove past and saw it. I suggest you confirm your information before you post comments. You just made a fool out of yourself...not the officer answering the questions.

Grow up! He is basically saying, nothing can be done when someone turns left where prohibitted because the police have to be there to see it happen.

There actually is a sign saying no turn into Post Office. You should have checked before scolding the Officer like that. Shame on you.

Hey Wrong. You can call the police, provide the license plate and be sure to be able to identify the driver. Then be willing to show up at court and testify to what you saw and positively identify the driver to the judge. The police can't just cite people becuase you say so, you'll need to participate in the prosecution of this heinous crime.

Wrong is wrong
