I've never been to 2nd st bakery, but have been to Carmines (west side, for those that don't know) on Mallory, and you can pretty much see the same scene here.. It's not just limited to JCPD, you have JCFD and other city employees double parking and whatnot for a sandwich.

This makes me giggle. 'Cause if you REALLY want to see a parade of patrol cars and other city vehicles roll through a stop sign -- hang out at the corner of Brunswick and 2nd Street any given weekday at lunch time ... as they hit 2nd Street bakery. All basic traffic laws apparently do not apply when jockeying for a delicious sandwich. ;)

What reputation would that be? That we aren't the yokel locals from whatever backwater town you came from who are going to sit back and take whatever shit some keyboard commando who sits in a box all day throws at us? Born and bred here so here's a little throw back " reputation" for you. Go #OOPS# yourself. We ain't fucking waiters in some douchebag uppity restaurant.
No go back to the cornfield.

the drivers in DTJC, for the most part, ignore crosswalks with signs (either because they don't know the rule, or don't care).

Ding ding!! The drivers in JC, even if they're inclined to follow traffic signals, don't have a clue what they mean. Maybe 1 in 5 know what to do at a multiway stop or a flashing signal. Similar percentages either ignore stop signs altogether or stop at every freaking intersection. So even expecting them to parse the nuance between YIELD and STOP for pedestrians is hopeless.

If you want to get into some serious arguments with people. Try crossing and enforcing your right of way on Monmouth between Newark Ave to 6th Street.

You could train as a stunt devil avoiding cars there. I am not talking about how Hoboken people cross the street (they think they have the right of way like 10 feet from the curb there). You can be in the middle of the street crossing and they will honk and scream at you.

Brunswick between Newark and Columbus is the same -- people are almost to Columbus to get to the Turnpike -- and they floor it down to the light. Insanity.

What do you do just wander the streets all day looking for stuff to complain about? From Sparrow Hill to Marion public employees are under the ever watchful eye of the sepecat. Why not get a job or a hobby? Clean yourself up and answer a personal ad for companionship, read a book, throw yourself into a raging sea, wake up tomorrow and promise yourself that this is the day you stop being a pathetic cretin, just go away.

For an officer, you certainly have some free time on your hands.. I bet you are posting from your job working "detail"...

I don't get what your problem is. In a free society anyone and everyone is free to criticize what they see wrong. All you have done is attack anyone that questions wrongdoings by an officer or officers. If anyone that needs to go away is you, come back when you start enforcing front window tints on cars with FOP plates, pretty sure you'll catch that same car talking on the cell and blowing stop signs and red lights.

I'm interested in a more detailed account of this call aside from "helpful and supportive". Did the Lieutenant admit that the officer was flat wrong?

There was no sign there. Just a crosswalk. We need signs like those in Jersey City though.

The Lieutenant just called me. He was very helpful and supportive.

Thanks for all your responses.

I was pleased to see a JCPD patrol car yield for pesestrians crossing at 8th St and West Hamilton last night at dusk. The officer driving patiently waited to make a righthand turn from 8th onto West Hamilton while two families crossed there, one followed by the other. That struck me as courteous and professional.

Not that i disbelieve the OP for a moment.

We should call out the good and the bad.

Absolutely - Maybe a thread that highlights the good deeds of our police .... I have no doubt the vast majority of police we have in JC are a bunch of 'good' guys and gals.
