Quote:
It wasn't a red light camera, but a red-haired councilman who caught traffic agent Daniel Chu red-handed, waltzing out of a Dunkin Donuts the other day with a cup of coffee.

"He is livid," City Councilman Daniel Halloran said.

Chu apparently didn't like being caught on candid camera, so he whipped out his ticket book and handed the councilman a $165 ticket for what Halloran says are trumped-up charges.

"He says, 'you're going to take pictures of me? Well, I'm going to write you a summons,'" Halloran said.

But that's only part of the story. A few minutes earlier, Councilman Halloran decided to follow Chu through the quiet streets of his Whitestone, Queens neighborhood after Chu put on his flashing red lights, as if to rush to an emergency.

"He was on a cell phone, talking while this was going on," Halloran said.

The "emergency" soon became apparent.

"He was in a rush to get a coffee coolata at Dunkin Donuts, and felt he could blow stop signs, speed, swerve in traffic," Halloran said.

Halloran says he couldn't believe a traffic agent would break so many laws.

"This guy is running around in a police department vehicle at high rates of speed, careening through a neighborhood, to get to Dunkin Donuts," Halloran said. "I think there's a real problem with that."


Great stuff!

Now that I think about it, you may be right. It has been so long, I don't remember anymore.
