Greetings,
Yes it is the same officer. Please read on.
This morning I spoke with Lt. Lindsey of the Second
District PSA 202. She had emailed me and asked me to
contact her about the complaint I posted on the
listserv. When I gave her the badge # of the officer
who ticketed me, she told me the following: Lt Lindsey
is this officer's supervisor and she has received
countless complaints about how gruff and unpleasant
she is. (I still don't know her name.) She said that
this officer is just like that and that she won't
change even though she has been sent to numerous
workshops on dealing with the public, etc. She also
said that it is police policy not to engage in any
conversation with the person who is pulled over but to
just state what the offense is and to ask for a
driver's license and registration. Finally, she
explained that even though this officer has a
reputation for coming across in a very negative way,
she is an excellent enforcer of the traffic laws in
our neighborhood and so she has decided to leave her
on that job. That's the story.
Meanwhile, I have to make a court date so that I can
go and contest the ticket. She said that since it was
a first offense, I'll just be given a warning. The
moral of the story (for me) is: Don't break any
traffic laws in our neighborhood and hope that the
officer with badge #2653 doesn't mistakenly accuse me
of breaking a traffic law.
