[quote]QUOTE: <i>Originally posted by Kurn</i> <br /><br />Apparently,Operation Lifesaver worked on the W&LE around Akron,Oh today.They had a state trooper in the cab and local police to issue tickets to idiots going around the gates.Callers to a local radio show (most of whom got tickets) were livid with rage,calling it "entrapment" and "Why aren't they out chasing real criminals" and such.One mentally defective caller said they didn't have time to stop for trains.Others suggested that,"Oh, the lights have been broken for years", and "Only one train a year goes through here". One guy said the train was already past the crossing.It seems to me that anyone who thinks they can educate the public about grade crossings is facing an uphill,if not impossible,battle. <br />[/quote] <br /> <br />The cops were probably just using their "concern" for safety of the drivers as a ruse to pull them over and search their cars for contraband.
