Police car breaks rules, holds up Colon traffic

POLICE CAR HOLDS UP TRAFFIC. The corner of Colon Street and Juan Luna Street is no-stopping zone because the vehicles stopping there would hold up the busy Colon intersection.

But an Ear informer reported seeing not just any car flagrantly violating the rule, but a police car.

The informer said that last Wednesday the police car, a city-issued Innova with body number 014, stopped near a bank at the corner to let a policeman disembark.

As if that was not enough the police car held up traffic at the intersection for a while as the policeman who got off still talked to the driver.

NO EMERGENCY SITUATION. There was no reason for the car to stop in the street, another observe said.

The informer said it was a non-emergency situation as the policemen did not seem hurried or alert.
