Mixed Signals....

Sunday morning I arrived on a serious car crash where the fire department spent about an hour extricating a man from his vehicle. They had the roads blocked off, as they thought the crash might go fatal and they had a helicopter coming in to transport the man to the hospital.

So I pull up into a business that was closed and parked in the parking lot. I inadvertently pulled past their perimeter, so I was asked to back up a bit. I complied. It was North Las Vegas, and they are really cool so no biggie.

I back across the parking lot and pull into a parking spot. A cop starts yelling at me. (For the record, it was '300 feet away with loud fire trucks nearby' yelling, not angry yelling.)

"Don't park in the parking lot! Park over there by the NO PARKING sign!"

Who am I to argue with that kind of logic?

Once I was parked, and the rest of the media pulled up, NLV brought us past the perimeter so we could get good video of the extrication. I’d like to see THAT happen in METRO’s jurisdiction.
