Public servants in LA resort to extortion in lue of serving the public. Mayvis Coyle, an 82 year old Los Angeles woman was recently fined $114 for crossing the street too slowly. Apparently Coyle entered a Los Angeles crosswalk on a green, but the light turned before she was completely across, a local LA police officer watched Coyle as she crossed and when the light turned red he cajoled her for obstructing traffic.
So much for “protect and serve” as the LA police claim, no it seems extortion is the order of the day as Coyle was fined for not being 25 years old any more. Rather than offer assistance to a citizen in need, this officer chose to exploit Ms. Coyle’s weakness.
