Cops are just doing their job





I am responding to the letter about “tickethappy cops” written by Julie Freeman of Calabasas.

I have lived in Calabasas for over 23 years and I welcome the deputies patrolling our area. You probably have seen me: I walk with my two dogs, one a Dalmatian. I have almost been run over dozens of times by drivers who blow through “walk ” signs at intersections and cut in front of me when I am walking through a crosswalk.

Julie Freeman admits having two tickets and her friends have had the same experience. I have not had a ticket in 23 years and my wife in over 30 years.

It is simple: follow the law and go the speed limit. Pedestrians always have the right of way. I believe Julie Freeman should lose her license before walkers like myself get killed.

I support our deputies and encourage them to keep issuing tickets to careless people like Julie Freeman, before she kills someone.
