HPD rolls out innovative new revenue stream (sans acronym, sadly)
KTRK-13 reports that HPD is rolling out a new program "to crack down on aggressive drivers."
One element of the program will involve plainclothes police officers standing on the sides of surface streets, creating a distraction for drivers by holding signs that say things like "Buckle Up" (and radioing ahead so tickets can be issued to those who aren't, of course).
Apparently, nobody has told the geniuses who designed this innovative new municipal revenue stream that there is a manpower shortage at HPD and officers might be put to better use.
