After video surfaced showing Jefferson Hills, Pennsylvania police were completely in the wrong when they ticketed an innocent man for not stopping at a stop sign despite his coming to a complete stop, Jefferson Hills Police Chief Gene Roach refused to admit the ticket was in error. 

Despite withdrawing the ticket after the fraud was completely exposed, the chief defending his officer saying saying, “technically…the law says you stop at the stop sign, you move forward, stop again, until you can see that the intersection is clear and then you go.”

According to the chief stopping at a stop sign is not enough, you have to stop at a stop sign multiple times, and don’t you dare think of lurching! To think no one takes cops seriously these days!
