My real n tis post was not so much about rolling through stop signs but when you have a regular red stop ign on the cart path, can you get a ticket for going through it. My friend always goes through the one when you get across the bridge going on to morris across 466. One time cop was right next to him and rolled down window and ask him why he didn't stop. He replied no cars coming and i don't have to. cop just shook his head. In the article i thought it stated woman was in golkf cart stopped for going through stop sign on baily near buena vista. Onlt red stop sign is cart path acroos from lake miona rec. center

My guess is the woman's driving behavior just before running the stop sign may have made the officer suspect she may be intoxicated therefore stopping her. That's my best guess.

And right in front of a cop. The arrogance of some of these old f*** drivers is beyond belief.

I don't understand why this topic warrants 13 pages of posts. Just a total waste of bandwidth.

That's why I set my posts per page to 40 Only 3 pages for me.


BTW (to all that pertain): It's MORSE not Morris. That goes for spelling and pronunciation

I do believe that misspelling was intentional--subtle humor.

I guess one time or other we have all rolled thru a stop sign or went over the posted speed limit. We know what we are doing, so if a cop catches you ,take your ticket and don't cry about it.

The opinions expressed on this thread is the very reason we need laws in this country, no one can agree on what is right. Maybe I had a sheltered up-bringing, but when I was growing up, I was taught that you respected and obeyed the laws, and you respected the police. I am not saying anyone here has disrespected the police. The police are given the right to make judgement calls when the situation requires it --because everything is not "black and white". And I am sure that many people on here, including me, have gone a few miles over the speed limit. But that doesn't mean that it is up to every individual to determine what is right and wrong. If you break the law, it is wrong, and if caught then you may have to pay the piper. WE cannot even agree on here whether it's ok to roll through a stop sign--that is why we have laws. That is my whole point on here---if you break the law, you are wrong. Period. You cannot justify it, and you cannot change it by doing whatever you want. You can try to change the laws in the court system, or you can just keep breaking the law.

I agree with this.

Sure, unless she totally just blew through the stop sign in an unsafe manner, he probably wouldn't have bothered. We weren't there so we really don;t know what happened.

I say it was her age. She is a KID. The trouble here is that we used to think people should act responsibly and independently at about 18. We,as a society, stopped feeding them and sheltering them (but not loving them) at about that age in the old days.
