Another Bad Cop Report

Saw a cycle cop doing a baddie today. While waiting to cross the street to my apt,I saw this bike cop talking to another cop in a cruiser. He was sitting next to the driver's side door. There are three lanes;two normal traffic lanes,and one parking/turn lane. The bike cop was at the very edge of the turn lane,maybe two inches from the traffic going by. He was wearing a blue uniform;no bright colors and nothing attention-getting on the bike. Not too bright in my opinion. What's worse,they were blocking the busstop. A bus came up and had to block the right traffic lane(there was a car parked behind the stop,so he couldn't pull in behind the cop). If a civilian had done this,they would've gotten a ticket.

I gave the bike cop a dirty look,but he didn't see me. Riding the elevator up to my apt,I decided to post this in the forums,and then had an idea. I'd take a couple pics to show everyone what happened. I got my camera,ran back down,and snapped a couple pics from the safety of my lobby. I got one just before he rode off. You can plainly see how close he was to traffic. You can also just see part of the signs that say you can't park where they were.

FYI,I've also seen at least 3 or 4 cops yakking on cell phones while driving(illegal in DC).
