    The intersection was already a 2-way stop and, given the street topology and level of service, changing it to an all-way stop is benign.

    The concern I have is that part of the charges include painting the crosswalk where one already exists. That’s not “design[ing] their local traffic flow,” but following up with expected public works. Granted he painted a ladder design rather than a standard continental pattern, but you should probably just shut the fuck up in the future.

      Yeah, the crosswalk part was harmless, even if he technically wasn’t supposed to do the municipality’s job for them. The rest I’ll take your word for.

      The charges include interfering with a traffic control device, grand theft, and vandalism exceeding $400

      Actually reading the article, the first fits, but the rest is definitely the cops power tripping, unless he stole the equipment to do it.
