I've worked as a police officer on a small Marine base for two years. I've cited 1 person for running a stop sign. The driver was driving on the wrong side of the roadway and was looking at a windmill when he ran the stop sign. I cited him for two reasons. I didn't see his brake lamps illuminate to show he attempted to brake and he was in the oncoming lane. I've seen many drivers run stop signs but haven't thought issuing a cite. Please keep in mind that I stated I work on a small base and the fastest speed on our main road is 35MPH. I guess it all began with my first stop which was for stop requirements. He stopped passed the limit lane after he saw my vehicle across the street. Most of my citations are seat belt and cellphone violations.
When would you cite for running a stop sign?
Ex. California roll/stop, slow down then proceed after checking traffic, must completely stop, etc?
