There are 2 policemen parked along a one-way street looking for traffic violations. They spot a taxi driver going in the wrong direction, yet they do nothing. Why?

(In reply to my thoughts by Russ)

2: It would probably have to be a state line, not a town line. In my state (and I presume most others) a policeman has the authority to arrest a person anywhere in the state for a violation of the law he personally witnessed. (His normal authority only extends to the town line, but this exception is made for obvious reasons.)
