"SAN ANTONIO - Undercover officers are targeting unsafe drivers in a sting operation, to enforce the city's "Safe Passing" ordinance.
The law requires vehicles to pass with three feet of space or move into another lane when approaching a cyclist, pedestrian, runner or even highway or utility workers.
Two officers geared up and rode through downtown Thursday afternoon, heading south toward Roosevelt. Officers in a marked and unmarked car closely followed, to keep an eye on the officers and watch out for drivers who weren't passing safely.
The officers patrol the streets every day, experiencing the dangers firsthand.
"It's a scary thing because they have this vehicle that's $2,000 pounds and I'm on this 20-30 pound bike. My life is in their hands," Officer Roger Zuniga said."
While I definitely like the fact that the police there, are actually enforcing the ordinance, I got a laugh from '$2,000 pounds'. For a 1-Ton vehicle, one should know if they are going to charge dollars, or pounds......lol
