automobile was parked in front of property
situated at 479 Perry Highway. The

blocking the sidewalk. Anybody coming

Highway would have to walk
around
this vehicle to get around it to get
up and down the
highway.
Q. Did you initially make
that observation, or did
the Chief send you up
there?
A. At the time, the Chief
was -- we were going all
throughout the Borough. One big thing
was to get all
the cars off the sidewalks. I
believe that
morning the Chief pointed out to me
that there was a car
parked up there and, when I had a
minute, to go up and
put a tag on the vehicle.
Q. And so you did that.
Is.that right?

CLEMENT: I object to the
characterization as unusual. It's
leading.
MR.
WATSON: Overruled.
Q. Was

front of that store?
A. Yes. It was out of the
ordinary. Yes,
sir.
Q. Had you ever seen an
automobile or any kind of
a vehicle parked there ever before
that time period?
A. No, sir.

Borough since
1991. Is that correct?
