QUESTION: If you were a cop in Contra Costa County, where do you think would be the best place to park to catch reckless drivers/speeders/etc.? (what road, intersection?)
Talk about it….
Anywhere on Treat.
Couldn’t agree more with that answer. Treat at Cowell at 7am you can write 100s of tickets for the speeders and red light runners. Treat Blvd is like a highway at times.
… anf red light runners…. intersection of Oak Grove & YVR
Outside a bar at closing time….easy pickins.
Clayton Road!
If i were a cop to catch reckless drivers i might park my car at a hotel so i can get some sleep and let the speed detector and camera do the work.
First off would sit down with Clayton PD officers, ask about their methods and criteria. If you are missing front license plate or have expired tags you will be having a get together with a Clayton PD officer.
.
Concord motor officers sit with radar at Ygnacio Valley Road at Crystal Ranch Road and Pittsburg motor officers on Kirker Pass just past Nortinville Road, business is so good there are times they don’t turn their motorcycles off. CHP occasionally sits at bottom of Kirker Pass on Pittsburg side.
.
Cities should add motor officers with radar.
.
As for best places, any high traffic road.
.
Question is which departments have dedicated officers for vehicle code infractions and given volume of calls beat officers have, do they have time to cite traffic violations ? ?
In front of Concord high School.
I recommend CHP us drones over the highways. Catch all those speeding as they switch lanes left and right. Hit them with a reckless driving ticket.
In front of the Police Station.
There’s not a street in this town that doesn’t have a plethora of reckless and speeding drivers
I’d park smack dab in the middle of my grandmother’s living room, because as soon as these little pests get nested, she’d give them the warm welcome with a book.
I’d probably leave them alone
and try and catch actual criminals.
