Even a depleted law enforcement agency can flex its muscle for big investigations.

The understaffed Santa Fe Police Department went a step further. It treated a minor traffic case like a major crime.

Eight Santa Fe police officers descended on West San Mateo Road and Galisteo Street after a female bicyclist was pulled over at 10:20 one summer morning. A traffic cop said Jackie Shane, 59, had pedaled through a stop sign.
