I was thinking about making an Officer Flood thread, but didn't want to glorify him or any other individual that unnecessarily harasses traveling people. I've heard a few riders speak of their experiences with Officer (now SGT) Flood).
Below you'll find info taken from some of my previous posts:
...started crap w/me in town. Cost me a couple (actually several) days in jail, etc. Lying ass jaywalking charge was dropped.
Go ahead, give him a call if you have free minutes. Below you can find his #, not sure if it is still working (but I bet it doesn't go to the janitor).

excerpt from paper follows:
Ever wonder why it’s rare to see shopping carts outside the vicinity of a grocery store or signs asking for money and food in Roseville? Just thank Officer Dave Flood. After joining the Roseville Police force Flood noticed that transients frequently ignored laws but were policed very little. Wanting to keep the community feeling safe and secure, Flood took it upon himself to nip the problem in the bud. Flood saw homeless people holding signs asking for money at busy intersections, pushing shopping carts around town and camping out in city parks.
Since then, Flood has made a point to get to know all of Roseville’s transients, which have turned out to be helpful resources when investigating certain crimes. “I know their first names, what their nicknames are or what they go by, where they hang out and who they hang out with,” Flood said. “They know that I’ve got an eye on them so they follow the rules and I know where to go if something happens.” When a homeless man recently stabbed another homeless man. Flood knew the name of the suspect, where to find him and details about the incident within an hour. “I also get in touch with family members if I know that someone’s not doing well,” Flood said. “Or sometimes family members will call me and ask where they can find their family and I can help.”Officer David Flood #125
