Cops send signal on red lights

This is how we slow 'em down in GJ -- this was taken at the corner of North and 12th, one of our busier intersections -- and , Yes, that really is an on duty cop.

Grand Junction motorists who received traffic tickets Thursday after passing through the intersection at North Avenue and 12th Street can’t say they weren’t warned."
“Don’t run red lights. My partners are waiting,” read a cardboard sign held by Grand Junction Police Department officer Patrick Rice. Rice planted himself with the warning at the corner of North and 12th between 11 a.m. and 1 p.m. The sight of the plainclothes officer with a black Grand Junction Police Department hat holding the sign prompted some thumbs-up signs and eager waves. But not everyone was happy.
“The ones that we stop, they aren’t smiling so much,” Rice said.
