I live in front of an intersection. Four-way stop.
A lot of people don’t stop completely, especially if it’s obvious that no one is stopped on the cross traffic.
But it’s rare that someone just blatantly blows the stop sign. Well, rare that someone other than the police, just blatantly blows the stop sign.
Seems the police are above having to adhere to the traffic rules they enforce on the rest of us. Stop signs, speed limits, signalling before turning, driving while on a cell phone or texting, driving distracted. The police are the absolute worst offenders.
I watched a cop in CA flip his lights on just so he didn’t have to wait at a traffic light.
As soon as he got thru, lights went off and he rolled down the road at posted speed.
A lot of people get tickets because the cop will say they didn’t come to a “complete” stop. Hard to fight without any proof. It’s a good revenue generator for the police.

Absolutely agree with you. And this comes from a background of growing up with and currently family in law enforcement. Times have sure changed, used to be law enforcement officers and their families set an example of law abiding behavior. Today, things have changed.....corruption and coverups rule. A shame.
