Yes, you heard right! 4 squad cars were sent to ticket cars more than 12 inches away from the curb and they even brought a ruler with them!! Wow, this is our tax dollars at work, really? They honestly did not have anything better to do with their hours of shift??
not a problem at all really, we all have them on occasion, its the LEO that seems to thrive on it

If drivers cannot park within 12 inches of the curb, then they should NOT be driving in the first place. From some of the parking jobs that I have seen, I am glad to see this being enforced to be honest.

That right there is complete and utter, unadulterated, Grade A bovine scatology.
But.... the woman who started this wanted to create an uproar and get her 15 minutes so now everyone is going to have to ride out the s**tstorm. Not saying it is right but it's reality.

Nope- you mess with one bad cop the mayor's office lets loose the hounds of hell to intimidate those concerned into not being concerned anymore to forestall the inevitable lawsuit to follow.....
Or did you miss the part where I said no cop, even a Chief, would initiate a boneheaded move like this?
News Release - Statement from Mayor Thomas S. Richards Regarding Arrest of Emily Good
City of Rochester
News Release
(Wednesday, June 22, 2011) – I have seen the video that is on the Internet depicting a Rochester Police Officer arresting Emily Good in May. Although this incident occurred some time ago, the video has only recently come to our attention and no complaint has been filed by any of the participants.
Police Chief Sheppard has initiated an investigation and I am confident that he will conduct it fairly and fully. To the extent that some form of discipline is appropriate, he will see that it occurs.
When an incident like this occurs, I am ultimately responsible to ensure that the incident is investigated thoroughly and any disciplinary action that is warranted is taken. However, I also need to be sure that we are fair to the officers involved. I intend to faithfully fulfill both of those roles and I am not going to prematurely reach a conclusion about what happened or should have happened. I look forward to the results of Chief Sheppard’s investigation.

Ok even so, all of that justifies sending 4 squad cars to measure to see if the residents of the area are properly parked? We are pretty much broke and you are ok with cops doing this on their shifts instead of handling the other 98% of worse crimes going on?
The woman insisted on entering the officer's reactionary gap after having a negative interaction with the officer prior to starting her own camera. That smacks to me of attention wh*re looking to make money and have a viral YouTube video.
