South Street near Longview Street
The police hide in a parking lot at the end of a fairly long street and can laser you from the time you come around a curve all the way to where they are staked out. The street is a well known thoroughfare to the west side of town. It is mostly residential with sidewalks on both sides of the street. Neighbors have complained – very few children on this street and the residents are not out in their yards as a good percentage of them are older. There is some pedestrian traffic, but I would think all of these people know to look before crossing the street or pulling into the street.
