An officer working in the rain, was I lied to? Is it not policy that rain makes things too dangerous so they have to stay out of the street?

The safest place to direct traffic from is the sidewalk. Looking at the traffic is optional.

Better move further from the street, it's safer that way!

Texting, two seconds before I took the picture he was reading the book that's in his right hand.
And what's strange is this day he was alone on the corner, the next day there were three officers here. How is this determined?

Flirtin' with the guys!

















Yep, no one in the street, watching the traffic.

Lay-offs

We got news in August that there would be massive lay-offs of traffic officers in Chicago. I was hoping that would scare some straight. Did it work? See for yourself.

They're of course fighting it, you'd think they'd be a little more conscientious about their work.
