Officer Ramirez is directed by his supervisor to respond to a particular intersection where multiple citizens have complained about the traffic light and drivers running red lights. He realizes this is the same intersection that he drives through on his way home from work every day. He knows the light cycle tends to be extremely short and can cause traffic to backup. While parked at the intersection, he observes the light cycle is extremely short and multiple cars run the red light because they are becoming impatient. He notices that there are no other cars at the intersection and that the drivers are not causing a true hazard. How should Officer Ramirez handle this situation? WHAT IS THE MOST APPROPRIATE AND LESS APPROPIATE RESPONSE? A. Officer Ramirez should issue a ticket to every driver who runs the red light in hopes that this will provide good statistics for his evaluation. B. Officer Ramirez should monitor the intersection and if he observes an issue with the traffic light, he should contact the appropriate department to rectify the issue and ease traffic congestion. C. Officer Ramirez should stay in his vehicle at the intersection and just monitor the situation. D. Officer Ramirez should tell his supervisor that the traffic light is frustrating to drivers, but proceed with his assignment
