Chad grabbed a roll of crime scene tape from a squad car nearby. It had it's lights on and shining in an area that wasn't part of the scene, so he shut them off. "Anybody with their flashers on get out of here. No need to draw extra attention to this." He said sharply. The cars in themselves were enough to cause a stir.
A few uniforms slunk away, avoiding eye contact with Chad to turn off their lights and roll out. He looked over to Icene. "It's okay. They're not part of my usual crew. Probably would be in the way more often than not."
He wound yellow tape around a pole by the sidewalk and stretched it across to where Patterson was, wrapping it around another pole and tying it in a knot. "What do ya say, can we get some crowd control?" He asked rhetorically as he stepped off the curb and over to the cars pulled off the roadway.
He knocked on a window and calmly informed the occupants that unless they had something beneficial to contribute, they were going to be getting a ticket for illegally parking on the street. Oh yes, he had the authority to do that, he answered with a grin, and nodded firmly as the car sped off. "Anybody feel like busting them on speeding?"
Patterson grinned behind Chad. "Already called it in, boss." Then followed suit with the remainder of stopped cars.
