Anyone who calls the police to report trash in their yard should be arrested.

So early in the morning too! My husband is a police officer and he once got a call that somebody's toilet wouldn't stop running!

Clearly both cases that our police officers needed to respond to.......
How about we try what every other person in Cornwall does when some a-hole leaves garbage on our property, pick it up and throw it out.
Common sense one would think.

A week goes by and not one ticket issued for talking on the cell phone while driving. I guess the police don't ride up and down Main Street.

Obviously you are a newcomer to Cornwall. As long as you are 'connected' you can do as you like; dwi and smashing into private property is a fave, so too, handing out free parking stickers to out of town friends, private parties on public property, entering homes without permission.... If it were you or I we would be dragged into the pokey for sure. The sad thing is that there are a lot of hard working public servants that get a bad rep for the actions of a few, oh wait, no, that's the skateboarders...

Listed above are are police blotters to keep you informed of the "legal" happenings in town. This is not a police-bashing page.

Thank you Denise Peters! For your information, ANYONE talking on their cell phone IS A LEGAL MATTER!! It is against the law. But thank you for trying to clear that up for everyone. AND...I was NOT "police-bashing", I was writing my opinion where everyone else does the same and pointing out the FACT that certain people in and around town can get away with breaking the LAW!!!!

Well, I have decided that I am going to learn how to shoot left-handed.That way, when some idiot is on his cell phone, (like the pencil head in the Benz at the stop sign yesterday; trying to negotiate a three way intersection and look at his cell phone to dial - agghh!) creating a dangerous situation I can take out his tire and get him off the road. Jeez, pull over and chat and let the rest of us drive! And by the way, this is certainly not police bashing. I happen to *love* our men in blue. It is always the few screwing things up for the many good hearted.

After four cellphone tickets in the last police blotter and zero this time, I don't think it's because people have suddenly stopped using their cellphones. I suspect somebody with a bit of influence griped to Town Hall that this constituted "harrassment"--doubtless because they themselves are enthusiastic cellphoners--and the PD was ordered to take it down a notch or three. Too bad. As a pilot, I know that safe multi-tasking is impossible--we're taught to do one thing at a time in an airplane--but these dim-witted inepts are convinced that they're even more competent in a car than are people who fly airplanes for a living.

Well Stephan, you seem to be an expert about everything! Then you should know a pilot has to deal with three dimensions, while a driver only has to deal with two. allowing him to do one other thing like eat a donut or talk on the phone.

Actually, we deal in four--time being the fourth, oh mysterious anonymous one. And there have been ample studies done showing that cellphoning drivers have very much the same capability as drunk drivers--I can provide ample links to them if you tell me your name. Finally, the basic difference between eating a doughnut and talking on a cellphone is that both involve moving your mouth but only one requires the use of part of your brain.
But thank you for the compliment!

THANK YOU KATE!!!! I too, will carry sharpened pencils in my car for the "cell phone driving idiots"! Agreed that people should just pull over and talk there. It makes the road a safer place. Again......Thank You Kate :)

Sharpened pencils?!?!!? heck, I am talking bullets for the tires!!!!No no no , the pencil reference was in "pencil head" as in, a small stick with a rubbery top... jeez, I gotta improve my speechification, things is gettin' all confusticated here. But in all seriousness, talking on a cell phone, or any phone, limits a person's peripheral vision as it engages a part of the brain that deals with imagery. These drivers don't even know where their brains are.
