Why do cops stop in the crosswalk while waiting at a red light?

Question

I jog and see cops in the intersection. They are just as bad as the other people that do it. Can I give them a ticket?

Answer 1

Don't worry. Po-Po gonna be in big trouble when Obamas is elected President.  

Answer 2

same reason the ticket fairies always park at the bus stop or in front of a hydrant to write tickets, because they can! no you can't. citizens may only make a citizens arrest for criminal offences, not for citations. hahahai am in canada and can be smoking a blunt just a hair under an ounce in size and noonecan do diddly squat!!! weed was decriminalized here ages ago.

Answer 3

Everyone does it.

Personally, I feel someone who puts their life on the line everyday for the safety of others can stop in a crosswalk if they want.  It's not like they're going to run down someone walking through it.
