The way the police are supposed to conduct themselves

The residents of Conyers, Georgia have good reason to be proud of their police chief, Gene Wilson.

Wilson was recently caught by a local news crew parking in a handicapped space while getting his breakfast from a local Chik-Fil-A (they serve breakfast?).  Instead of cynically arguing that he was on official business (he wasn't) or pointing out that he was only there for a few minutes (he was), the chief simply publicly apologized in the local newspaper and ordered another cop to write him a ticket, which comes with a hefty $280 fine.

One would cynically suspect that the administrator was merely putting on an act after being caught red-handed by the "Action News Team", except for the fact that he apparently has a prior history of doing the right thing,

"This was not the first time the chief turned himself in. He also received a ticket for running a red light while working in Sandy Springs."

so we'll give him the benefit of the doubt in this incident.

Because of Chief Wilson's actions, people who live in Conyers no longer can have any complaints about getting a citation for being similarly lazy, as he has shown that no one there is above the law.

Good show, sir.
