Seriously? THIS is why the public can hate cops:

In Fort Lee, New Jersey, officers have been told by their Chief of Police to hand out "summonses" for pedestrians who "Walk and Text" or "Walk and Talk."

Seriously?

Let's just issue a police officer or government worker to each citizen, so that more babysitting and hand-holding can occur.

People: there's an actual penalty to pay for being stupid: it's called injury or death.

So pedestrians walked into the street and were hit by cars?

Sounds like "culling the herd" to me.

P.S.
This apparently isn't the first time the department has been less-than-brilliant. And I have a sufficiently-difficult time on the street already, FLPD, without hearing about your new silly move all day long from the public I encounter.
