I had just finished play and was making a right hand turn onto St Charles Place into the diamond lane when I spotted the sheriff setting up a speed tracking unit. The sheriff much to my surprise continued to block the diamond lane as I approached. I stopped he walked over and in a polite and professional manner proceeded to tell me that I exited the rec center without stopping at the stop sign. I did not argue I did not say anything but listened intently. He ended by saying even driving a golf cart you can get a $131.00 fine for not stopping at a stop sign. I thanked him for the warning and proceeded down the diamond lane at no more that 15mph.

Internally I was saying to myself I did stop I did count 1--1000 2-1000-3-1000 as I searched for oncoming diamond lane traffic to my left. But while my mother may have raised a dumb boy she did not raise a fool and this officer was being reasonable and generous from his point of view.

So whether its a parking lot or road, a wide white line means stop even if a stop sign is not present.

and even if you believe your in the right never never yell No Justice No Peace while stopped by a cop. Its always a loser. if you do receive a ticket plead your innocents for the record but your chances of winning in court are less than lotto odds.
