Background: Being a city bus, there seems to be about 50 or so seats, though some people prefer to stand if they are getting off rather quickly (about two or three stops). The space is more on the small side, but was not crowded at this moment and time due to the rain outside, which discourages people to take the bus. The most common objects are headphones, bus books, and smart phones with the passengers. The younger the rider, the more likely they are to have a smart phone unless they are with their parents. Old passengers tend to have books or are looking at the bus book.
Individuals and their activities on the bus:
1) Middle aged Caucasian woman, looks to be about 45. Dressed in a big black coat, sweats, and hair slicked back into a pony tail. She also has a flip phone and was talking loudly into it, something about her ex and child support. Got off downtown at 26th and Pacific Ave, though she was on the phone the entire time.
2) Two black teenage boys who are obviously friends. One was dressed up for an interview, his friend was dressed in a basketball jersey and jeans. Both of them got off at TCC. Kept conversations to a low level, until they started watching videos on one of their phones, which made them laugh out loud. I kind of want to see the video, but I know better than to get involved since I am observing.
3) Older Caucasian male, looks about 50. Dressed plainly, but looks uncomfortable the entire ride. Tries to strike up conversations on the bus whenever anyone sits near him, but gets a cold shoulder most of the time until he starts asking for directions. Also tried to ask people where he could get medical marijuana, but most of those conversations ended as quickly as they came up.
4) Young mother and her son and da...

...se no one really noticed I was there, because I followed the general rules to the dot and no one would bother me if I did just that. Once I hit six ave, I became generally disinterested because very few people were on the bus, so I didn't have nearly as many people to observe or anyone that really caught my attention anymore.
What accounts for these feelings is for one, I take public transit a lot, so to make me uncomfortable on the bus has to be a well thought out, guided effort by someone. I have seen various types of events happen on the bus, so most of the ride does not phase me. For way I got disinterested so quickly once we got to sixth ave was because at this point, people stop riding for so long and tend to get off at quicker intervals of stops. The people that stay on at this point got on way earlier on the route. Most likely starting at downtown or earlier.
On Monday, December 4, 2017, I was on patrol, in full uniform, in a marked black and white Pasadena Police vehicle, Unit #17. At approximately hours 1005 hours, I was traveling east on Claremont St., from Lincoln Ave., when I noticed a female, Hispanic wearing a purple shirt and black shorts carrying a dark colored can and salmon colored purse. The female, Hispanic was later identified as Lucy Cisneros Bermudez DOB 04/09/87. Bermudez was exiting the freeway-wash that is located between the 210
On 01-01-17 at 0023 hours I was monitoring the radio and heard that Officer Harrell #3441 and Officer Thebeau #8402 were involved in a vehicle pursuit in the area of Fair Oaks Avenue and Corson Street. I responded to the above location to assist. They advised responding units that the suspect was involved in a traffic collision on the eastbound 210 Freeway Fair Oaks Avenue off-ramp.
Every school bus has a hierarchy, a caste system. The cool crowd the kids who smoke, come to class with hickies, and get into enough trouble to be the secret envy of the honor roll students occupies the back rows. The cheerleaders and star athletes take the middle seats. The serious students sit near the front. The nerds and the outcasts never know where they'll end up. If they're lucky, they can find an empty seat directly behind or to the right of the driver. (8)

On 03-15-16 at approximately ???????????????? hours, Officer Saunders #7720 and I were dispatched to 853 Worchester Avenue #2, regarding a family disturbance. It should be noted that Witness Vanessa Narvaez, Suspect Alexandra Narvaez and Witness Joanna Lynnette Narvaez are sisters and currently live
On September 12, 2014, I observed two people; Person A and Person B. The observation took place at Applebee’s, a local restaurant, beginning at 7:21 p.m. and ending observation at 8:06 p.m. I was serving their table for the evening, enabling myself to observe them closely. The restaurant had died down from the dinner rush, leaving them one of three tables in the smoking section, normally filled with eight. Along with the outside light fading, the lighting indoors was dim, making the dining experience feel more quiet and intimate. The background noise was filled with a light roar of other group’s conversations, and a jazz station played quietly from the speakers overhead.
The female later identified at Margaret Thorne, related that she was lost and in need if some directions. Margaret related that she trying to back to Leola, Pennsylvania. On inquiry, Margaret related that she left Lancaster, PA this afternoon after visiting her hospitalized husband, but took a wrong turn, became lost and has been driving ever since . Margaret also related that her phone’s battery was out of charge and not working. While Sgt. Blanchard checked if Margaret was a missing person, I escorted her inside Wawa in an attempt to buy a charger for her phone. However, her phone was the latest phone from LG and neither Wawa nor Sgt Blanchard

Due to the nature of what was being said, I learned that they did not seem to know each other. The observed male appeared to be confident and talkative. He seemed to lead the conversation by asking her a number of questions related to her background, marital status etc. He asked her: ‘where are you from?’, ‘How long have you been in London?’, ‘have you got a boyfriend?’ amongst other questions. The observed girl gave the opposite impression. The tone of her voice and her body language showed signs that lead me to believe that she was not entirely comfortable with the situation even though she did made eye contact with him and smiled on a couple of occasions.
she stopped at a red light at Monarch Mills about 9:15 p.m., and a man jumped
The man and woman both appeared to be in their early-20’s and were sitting across from each other at a table. They were engaging with each other, but there were some awkward pauses. From their interaction, the final impression I made on them was that they were potential dates. The man tried his best to maintain eye contact for longer periods with the woman, but it proved difficult for him. He would look at her and then look down at the table throughout their conversation. The man was fidgeting with his clothing slightly, and he wiped his palms against his pants at one point. His facial expressions indicated that he was having an enjoyable time, even though he looked a little serious from his nervous behavior. As for the woman, her body language was mostly relaxed. She would maintain eye contact with him, and would smile at him. Even though it was not as obvious as him, she seemed slightly nervous because she licked her lips a few times and was touching her hair. From the cues, both appeared to be attracted to each other and were interested in the conversation. Their body positions were open and did not indicate signs of boredom or unpleasantness. Their date appeared to be going well, as they left in smiles together afterwards. For the last scenario, I was in the library doing homework and there was a pair of college student males working on an assignment together. They were sitting next to each other, but
It is impossible to deny that cell phones have become increasingly important in the business world of today. They are a great way to keep in touch and be reminded of daily events. Still, it is necessary to remember that they have their time and place. Your life is not the only one at stake when you get behind the wheel and common courtesy should still remain a highly regarded value. Maybe it is because cell phones have interfered with the need to exercise our memory, but we seem to have forgotten it was once possible to survive without them.
When most people think about an eventful or memorable place, they almost certainly would not picture a bus. As we all know, buses are not exactly attractive. The design scheme is the same in almost every bus: rows and rows of brown seats, a thin black aisle down the middle of the bus, hundreds of hazy windows, and the big, lemon-yellow exterior. Not many people, I am sure, would consider buses to be an important part of their lives. However, if a person were to think about it, they would realize that they probably have had at least one memorable experience in their life that took place on a bus.
Cellphones are always at people's side to check email, look at Facebook, Twitter, or to text. People regularly engage in a wide variety of multitasking activities when they are behind the wheel. However, cell phones can are different type of distraction. When people are talking on their phones, they ignore the passenger when they talk. Cell phones decrease communication between the passenger and person on the phone...
My brother stood tall a few feet in front of me. He was almost towering, and I felt myself become very nervous. With his head held high, he walked over to me. He asked how I was doing; I told him that I was fine. My brother flipped his head back in a cocky manner, as if to emphasize his ear-length hair. I secretly rolled my eyes. Making small talk, I asked him how school was going. He replied that it was great and that all his teachers loved him. He also commented on how he might be playing baseball for his college again this year. I smiled and said that that was wonderful. He didn't bother to ask how school was going for me. Feeling strange, I told him that I had to run. We said our goodbyes and he began to leave. As he left, I noticed the way he walked. It wasn't a normal walk. It was a walk that commanded everyone's attention. It was a steady stride. With his shoulders back and head up, I could tell that everyone at the grocery store was watching him. Unfortunately, so could he.
