Just had an interesting conversation with a well informed member of the Toronto Police Force. </sarcasm>

As I watched the white Cadillac Escalade pull a u-turn in rush hour traffic across Gerrard only to pull into the bike lane and park beside the officer, I asked him, "isn't that illegal?" His response, "Special Event". When I asked if there were any signs indicating to drivers that we would have to shoot out in front of them he said no. Then I asked if he thought that was safe. His response, "there's a bike lane on the other side". I said that's against traffic and therefore illegal and that it disturbed me that he of all people didn't know that. I told him about all the fatalities and he shrugged. I said, "oh, so only serve and protect those in vehicles" and he replied with, "think what you want".

Very mature. I've been in contact with both 51 Divisions Community Relations officer and my city councillor. It's on!

Oh and Constable 9165 can eat my colon.
