"Actually, sir, the ordinance requires a 'back rock' on the wheels and a complete stop for at least three seconds." I objected that nobody negotiates stop signs like that, nobody. And he simply handed me the citation. I appealed it before a city judge, who was likewise unsympathetic. That was when I realized that cops in West Jordan are revenue gatherers and I de facto hate all traffic cops around here. I still "stop" the same as always if they are not around; but I look for cops all the time in this town, and I'll never "stop", when one is around, without that "back rock and full three seconds".)
Well, actually the 3 second rule is legitimate. I hate to say this, but in the eyes of a cop if you are willing to roll through a stop sign in front of him...I'm sure he thinks you really "roll" through stop signs.
I always do a 3 second stop. Even if people are honking at me.
