I suppose people aren’t getting raped and murdered in Somerville, Massachusetts any more because this is how the police are spending their time now.

The footage shows an undercover policeman basically spending all day walking back and forth across a zebra crossing while his colleagues wait around the corner in a cop car.

Any time someone fails to stop for the pedestrian (undercover cop) — which is admittedly pretty often — the police car goes after them and issues a fine = cash money for the police department.

So it may be messed up how few people actually stop at the crossing but isn’t this still a completely fucked up method of policing?
