A little while ago I had mentioned a conversation I heard between IRSU units. The spotter said he saw a man holding a phone, so the other unit pulled him over. The latter unit kept asking the spotter to confirm what he had seen. It turned out, after a lengthy back and forth where the spotter insisted he had seen a phone, that what he had seen was a wallet. But he would not accept that narrative and wasted everyone's time by having the unit on the ground keep searching because his said he was certain of what he had seen. I get that mistakes can be made, but the determination to land a ticket, the no taking no as an answer was a real eye opener and made me realize that that officer considered you guilty even if his partner insisted there was no phone in sight but that an oddly similar (to the description) wallet was.
Meanwhile on Friday afternoon IRSU nearly caused an accident when pulling over an (elderly?) female driver at the west side of the Johnson Street Bridge. The officer was standing in between both westbound travel lanes and suddenly raised his hand when a sedan approached him. The driver, however, was not expecting to be pulled over in that fashion and kept going, so he kept raising his hand higher and backed up a little until suddenly the sedan stopped and vehicles behind it had to come to a screeching halt right where drivers start to accelerate once clear of the bridge. They ended up blocking the southern westmboud lane when their light turned red, and traffic on Harbour road had to wait for the vehicles to clear.
It was comical, to he honest. But at least thanks to HB's photos from a little while back showing IRSU units blocking a sidewalk and bike lanes with their vehicles on Harbour Road, they had them parked where they impacted no other users of the road.
