TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY

TRAFFIC TIP TUESDAY

To keep our roads safer for everyone, all vehicles-especially trucks- must be equipped with splash guards or aprons that cover the full width of the rear tires. This helps prevent rocks, mud, and debris from hitting other vehicles.

RCW 46.37.500

Traffic tip Wednesday. If you can have tinted windows for your “safety”. So can I.

If traffic tip Tuesday is posted on a Wednesday does that mean it doesn’t apply?

Mike Bastinelli kept running his mudflaps and it did wonders for his career Yakima Police Department.

I thought there was a height limit on the vehicle in order to be required by law ???

Here’s another traffic tip: unless your vehicle came from the factory with seat belts, it’s legal to roll without em.

So that's cool for splash guards what about pothole guards for the roads?

Lmao real crime fighters out there looking for mud flaps lmao

there should be studies done on cops who volunteer for the traffic unit

You do know it's Wednesday right?

Whoever posted this. Put down a book and drive down N 1st St and tell me mudflaps are the problem around here.

Traffic tip Wednesday if we can't use our phones will driving neither can the cops.

And how many of your officers trucks parked in the parking lot are missing theirs? Lol.

You want me to have mud flaps then buy me them till then … no πŸ˜‚

Part of the reason why I stay a couple car lengths away behind these vehicles without mudflaps because those are the ones that throw rocks at your paint, damage it as well as your windshield and crack your windshield and then you spend 700+ dollars to go replace your windshield because somebody couldn’t go buy a $24 part. My 71 Chevy is lifted and stanced and I still have mudflaps

Only if they came factory for the car I presume. Can’t enforce a law if you buy a car without mud flaps

Cops are kidding right lmao! Crime is high but damn mud flaps

Yeah you see them trucks tires are sticking out 6 to 10 in just past the fender I got a $150 ticket and mine wasn't even sticking out

Traffic tip... repair the streets

What a joke in Yakima

Traffic tip Wednesday if we can’t make illegal U-turns in the middle of the street οΏΌ, neither can the cops οΏΌ

Enforce!

Why are vehicles allowed to be sold new, that don’t meet this said requirement?

NEWS RELEASE - DOMES

NEWS RELEASE - DOMESTIC VIOLENCE COURT ORDER VIOLATION INCIDENT

On September 15th, 2026, at approximately 7:25am, Yakima Police Officers responded to a report of a domestic violence court order violation in the 400 block of N 24th Ave. It was reported that a male suspect had entered the residence, armed with a firearm. The victims in the home were able to exit the residence, and officers were able to make initial contact with the suspect via phone, however, the call was terminated and there was no further communication from the suspect.

The Yakima Valley Crisis Response Unit arrived and took over the security of the scene and attempted negotiations. Once a search warrant was obtained, police entered the residence and found the 33-year-old male suspect with an apparent self-inflicted gunshot wound. Medical care was provided on scene, and the suspect was taken to Yakima MultiCare Memorial Hospital. He was later transported to a trauma center on west side of the state, in critical condition.

Yakima Police Department Detectives are continuing to follow up on this investigation.

Prayers

someone cavght the whole thing',"this one''. Police scene report

someone cavght the whole thing',"this one"., Uncensored scanner feeds

This is the actual video recording of the incident that's been getting a lot of attention. Instead of listening to rumors, it's better we see the facts for ourselves in this video. It's short, but it's important so we don't get the wrong idea.. www.facebook.com/share/p/19UKMVdw5H/

Peggy Byrd Lister look at this

The only thing restraining orders on paper is good for is to wipe your ass with. When are good U.S. citizens going to learn that the police are not outside your house to protect you and that you need to carry. Police are only there to clean up the mess afterward. Well maybe this scumbag won't make it and the family will have peace.

Love is the worst πŸ’” πŸ˜ͺ pain in my experience.

This is sad.

Prayers sent to his family πŸ™ I was so worried about him shooting himself πŸ˜” I'm praying he services his injuries πŸ™ 😒 and gets help πŸ™

This is sad πŸ˜”

That is so so sad. if you're in an unhealthy relationship, get the heck out of it!!!!

At least he didn’t kill his family first. Tragic either way. Healing prayers to the family.

Damn

smh rip jay
