CMPD Epic Fail!

Cedar Posts can't imagine who within CMPD came up with this plan but I don't think he/she was sober.

This blocking of the pedestrian sidewalk is on Albemarle Road just up from Farm Pond Lane. Wasn't it just recently that city roll out garbage containers in the sidewalk, contributed to the death of a middle school student, along Sharon Road?

Idiot cops too lazy to do it right they settled for good enough And didn't even bother to erect the posted speed limit sign.

And yes, that kid by bike was trying to get to school that morning and clipped an obstruction. Had I done that at that moment, I'd be dead too.

I'm pretty sure that is a tag reader trailer. It just covers as a speed sign. Look on the rear for the camera window. That is so the CMPD can track your movement by your NC registration. Somebody who knows for sure speak up please.

We didn't spend thousands of dollars to build that sidewalk because we thought it would frame out that roadway nicely. We did it because we're civilized and realize that some people, including children, elderly, and wheelchair bound, might want to transport without a car. This is quite inconsiderate.

It's absolutely dangerous. If it is a license plate reader, that may explain the way it is positioned. LPR's have to be pointed in a certain way.

Even those sidewalks on their own look dangerous, with no separation from the street. Blocking the sidewalk completely is probably illegal and is dangerous. Wonder if anyone in a wheelchair has needed to get around?

The CMPD hates children, the elderly, and the handicapped. Who is their right mind would block a sidewalk? And these are supposed to be the people protecting us???

Blocking a sidewalk with the tag reader/LPR, dumb? Yes. "Epic Fail". Seriously? And since when are humans unable to walk on anything but concrete. I live way out in Union County where there are no sidewalks and the strange this is, everyone appears to be walking just fine, even on.....grass!!!!

You people are helpless whiners.....

Don't spray paint -- that is vandalism.

Just do what I do and carry a pack of Post-It notes around to cover the lenses of peepers you run across.

Not the first time I've seen them blocking the sidewalk. Wonder how much they are worth at the scrap yard?
