Typical. People complain for police to do something, and when they do something people still complain
Who got warnings instead of tickets? And why?
They are going to get thrown out anyways if the people fight them, because the car parked at 0:38 is illegally parked, less than 20ft from a crosswalk which is why nobody sees that guy. You can't see through cars.
@@heyaisdabomb lol, pipe dream bud. Just means, as a driver you need to be more safe and aware. Lol, your logic is entertaining though
Kron 4 people behaving badly
Why can’t they do this for car break ins and assault crimes?
You're ridiculous
Because personal property in your vehicle isn't as important as someone's life
Other countries would laugh at you. Just because the crosswalk gave you the right to step onto the street doesn't mean that you don't use your eyes and ears to protect your life. I rather the police spend their limited resources stopping criminals than protecting idiots who blindly walk across the road believing it's their God-given right.
@@John-pz6nmthat why your city a ghost town
@@RoofedAsian89 It's not my city
So it's okay to run over people?
In 2023: 26,000 reported thefts from vehicles vs 17 pedestrian deaths from vehicles.
this is much needed in the city. lots of folks thinks its really cool to jam on the gas while folks are trying to cross the streets. we are all in a hurry but it doesnt take that much time to slow down a little bit for the folks trying to cross the streets!
You deserve to be a hood ornament.
this is good, but a shame it only comes after tragedy/potential large financial liability for the city.
Anyone who has walked around a city in Nor Cal knows that all too many drivers are not looking out for pedestrians - doing so would require them to stop looking at/texting with their phones. They roll through red lights (you have to stop before turning on a through red light!) and stop signs. It has gotten so bad that more than once I've had other drivers at a four way stop assume that I'm yielding the right of way to them because I always come to a complete stop at stop signs even if there is no one else around!
The law should be changed. People should be watching out the cars not the other way around. Cars should have the right way people are secondary.
instead of talking about the rich old lady that took out that family, they want to focus on more police. that lady, and many others should not have licences. how come the news isnt investigating her. because of her wealthy connections.
It's been 2 months and we still don't have the cause of the accident... It's pretty clear the women is not your typcial "reckless" driver, but someone who either had a medical emergency, or mistook the brake pedal for the gas pedal, yea it's painted as just your typical speeding driver. She was not typical.
@@heyaisdabomb her lawyer asked to please respect her privacy. and the news aired it. thats pretty well connected. any regular person would be the center of a campaign to enforce the laws and have charges filed.
Rude drivers
Get the ones with tinted windows as well.
I wouldn't go to that library after the accident. Just creepy.
A rule of thumb is to slow down 300ft before crossing an intersection, make a complete stop if any bicyclist, pedestrian, or jaywalker cross your path of travel, follow traffic rules, and proceed after the intersection is clear.
But junkies robbing the whole city
Yeah, but we don’t want to negatively impact their self-esteem. Remember, San Francisco is a compassionate city.
How about a sting operation to catch retail crime gangs, car break-ins, catalytic converter theft and open air drug markets, also going on in San Francisco
More money in giving people tickets...
That's so racist!
How bout you lucky you still have a police department.
Haha
All of these kinds of stings are happening. Pay attention!
My elderly neighbor just got hit by a car the other day during the day. A driver wasn’t paying attention and didn’t make a full stop. Drivers run that stop all the time. Are they going to do a sting operation on 21st/capp st!? My guess is no! Not a ritzy enough neighborhood.
KPIX | CBS NEWS BAY AREA, You're the best! I subscribed because I love your content!
The free way entrance the block cross walk. Cars block four roads daily. Drivers never stop
So many bigger issues that SFPD should focus on. Like rampant crime. (And by the way the tragic crash was the result of a very old lady who should not have been driving)
Fix mission st and france st intersection
People crossing have to be smart too. People can wait for a car to pass when there are no other cars. I notice many pedestrians are really clueless. Everyone can work together!
they the real criminals... wTh go do real work....
Your problems are with engineering, not with enforcement. You can have all the police in the world and if they cannot see that there is a pedestrian crossing you are not going to fix it. This is a good case for wider sidewalks, bump outs, a refuge island, and a raised crossing. And they work, according to the SFMTA.
That car at 0:38 is illegally parked. New state law this year says 20ft from the crosswalk, yet it's. clearly just a few feet. The whole reason we passed this new law is for pedestrian safety, yet that car is not being ticketed.
@@heyaisdabomb because if it is still physically possible to park there people will. In New York City you see a lot of government vehicles parked illegally. More ticketing is rarely ever for safety, it is really for more money. If they were really that serious about safety they would have used the resources they have to redesign the streets so it isn't physically possible to park too close to crosswalks.
Police were not ticketing at all, allowing people to speed and run stop signs and even lights! It is about time!
🤔
Just watch all the Tesla, Prius, and any other car identifying them as gig workers. You’ll nab them every single time.
Yes go after the immigrants so they can live in tents instead....typical entitled SF logic
One motorcycle on one street is NOT a "sting operation."🙄
Open your ears! They had six motorcycle cops!
even if you're deaf you can see there were 3 cop giving out tickets in the video........
Dog & Pony show..... but no Dogs or Ponies.....
oakland drivers dont car and neither does san jose. can you have officers here
Look at all the comments RUclips has censored.
It said 39 comments and only 6 were visible.
I would like to see more police giving out tickets to motorists who run red lights, block intersections and crosswalks.
Tickets should be made very expensive. There should be demerit points. In return, the money collected from the tickets should be used to pay for more traffic police or improve road infrastructure. Too many roads have faded paint and are crumbling.
We need to change the cross walks to one where pedestrians can press a button, and there would be flickering lights while they are crossing the crosswalk.
How about sting operation on Eastridge San Jose Tully and Quimby having said those Driver love to make U-turn even though it's left turn only 🤦♂️
Let’s not go after smash and grab. This is easy low bearing fruit.
You guys ought to hire Stanley Roberts, he's the best when it comes to this sort of thing (no offense to the reporter here).
car break ins?
~ This is Probably One of The Stupidest things I have EVER SEEN ~ ( I Have a Better Idea Coppers )
How about U go after the Pack of Lawless, Dirt Bikers that Ride around the City all Week... Sometimes Over like 100 of them on the sidewalks & pulling wheelies Up the street at 30 Mph.. how about U do something about that mess ..... Its been going on for Over 10 Years Now....
38 seconds in the video. Walker walks from the dark shadow that covers the first third of the crosswalk into bright light plus a parked car hurts driver visibility. Let’s target actual poor drivers and not put on an entrapment show for reporters. 27 pull overs in 90 minutes? Focus on egregious drivers and ticket them. Stop creating a media circus to get a point across.
Not to mention the car is parked right next to the cross walk, which is illegal. Why are they not ticketing that car? They passed this law just for pedestrian safety, yet they use that illegally parked car to aid in tricking drivers.
These pedestrians need to learn how to play Frogger
Pffft if San Franciscans think crossing the street is “complicated,” they should try crossing the street in Vietnam! 😂 It’s an art form when it comes to crossing the street over there….
In soviet Russia the street crosses you!
What about car break ins…
In china they dont yield for pedestrians.. in many countries they dont. San francisco doesnt have Americans there anymore.
In Hong Kong, cars have the right of way.
Maybe install a street light instead of wasting police resources?
Well, I mean to be honest it’s not like they’re doing anything else
Half the time pedestrians aren’t even watching anyway they just assumed that they rule the roads and they walk right out in front of cars that could be as much as 50 feet away. They just walk right out in front of a car a bus anything I’ve seen it many times.
The pedestrians aren’t killing anyone. 🤷
@@E_Clampus_Vitus No, they are often partly at fault for their own deaths though. 15 pedestrians were killed last year, at least 2 of those were killed on side walks by cars that lost control because they were criminals fleeing police, 1 was killed by a women making a right turn on green (so they ban right turn on red in response), and how many others are even paying attention when they enter the crosswalk. Yes, pedestrians have right of way, but that doesn't mean you should be on your phone texting and not even looking while entering a crosswalk. I this behavior all of the time, it's shocking to me more people aren't hit.
This operation is a limited narrow response to a widely reported horrific tragedy ( a speeding wrong way driver ) that doesn’t happen every day. Yet these community members are clearly at risk every day from a problem that clearly DOES happen every day. Maybe the high numbers will prompt some long term action. I hope so. But really a lot of ignorance & neglect on the part of drivers needs to be addressed. All insurance companies should contribute to funding a public service information program that reaches drivers via ads and offers a website full of reminders, tips, statistics, reports and shares drivers stories & experiences.
Use the money collected to put in stop lights and no right on red. Add cameras. Folks that break the laws can learn the hard way now.
Smash and grab,shop lifting, break ins,robbery all get a free pass
I really don't get how no right on red fixes the problem. So the only time I can turn right is when pedestrians are in the crosswalk? That women who killed the 4 year old ran over the stroller making a right turn on GREEN. The problem I often see and why your for no right turn on red is pedestrians cut the corner short. Instead of going to the handicap ramp and entering the crosswalk, they will enter the street 15 feet before the crosswalk and diagonally walk towards the cross walk. As a result, the pedestrian becomes blind to any car at the stop light. I almost hit some once because they did this as my light turned green and they clearly had a "do not cross" sign. Maybe pedestrians need to also take some responsibility in this.
if the guy crossing the street was a cop and tricked the driver by abruptly walking into the crosswalk, I'd say there a case for entrapment
The only thing I don’t like is these able bodied pedestrians walk slow af. All of us have somewhere to be just like you. We don’t feel like stopping 30 seconds so you can cross the street, you better walk faster unless you’re elderly.
under the new laws passed this year in California, no car shall park within 20 feet of a crosswalk. In this video, the first decoy uses a car parked right in front of a crosswalk so drivers can't see him until the last second. That car is illegally parked, so why is their no mention in this story about that illegally parked car? This law was passed just for pedestrian safety.
Yes cars are a problem but pedestrians need some consideration of the road and it's flow. Don't be sh*thead on your phones totally inconsiderate of the flow of traffic because you decide to cross a street spontaneously while paying no attention to traffic flow. The world doesn't center around cars nor pedestrians. Show some respect.
Yield to pedestrians, but bicyclists should have to stop. They don't go the same pace as pedestrians and often times when a car has started to move, bicyclists wil just assume the right of way going as fast as cars at the intersection.
They have time and resources to do this because this generate money hahahhaha but they don’t fckn care about retail theft and car break in hahahhaha
Breed is shameless asf!
