Dear Editor:
I am writing about an incident that happened Sunday, April 27. An 86-year-old senior citizen was riding his four-wheeler to check on his irrigation water at a speed of under 10 miles an hour. The town cop followed him onto private property and was giving him a lecture on how he was breaking the law. I found the officer’s attitude very offensive and upsetting. My son and family live on a street with my two small granddaughters, and the officer’s time would be better served to sit and watch for speeders there. I have noticed a number of vehicles going 40 mph-plus. This seems to be a greater danger than an 86-year-old senior checking water.
