We’re told that the SFPD will be doing a pedestrian sting in the Ingleside area, on one or all of the following streets: Cortland, Alemany, San Juan, London, and Geneva.

How does this work? Typically, you’ll see a pedestrian waiting to cross at an intersection. This person is a plant, the secret shopper of pedestrians. If you don’t stop and let him or her cross, you’ll get pulled over and ticketed. We’ve driven down streets where this type of sting was going in in the past and, trust us, they’re pretty aggressive. So, if you see someone waiting to cross in Ingleside today, do yourself a favor and let them cross.
