I had to laugh, with sadness, when I read the letter from Sara Arditti. It seems a big bad motorcycle cop "had nothing better to do" than cite her for jaywalking, even though she was seven months pregnant.
Sara, I am an L.A. motor cop, and a few years ago, between writing tickets to pregnant women and men with white canes with red tips, I received a traffic accident call on La Brea. When I arrived, I was met by the paramedics, who informed me that a pedestrian, a pregnant woman, had been hit trying to cross La Brea, mid-block. They advised me that both the mother and unborn child had been killed.
