In my opinion...
Any law enforcement officer with experience working near the QuikTrip on Burlington in North Kansas City would know exactly why people turn down W. 26 Ave, drive 300 feet down the street, stop for a minute or two, and then leave. They would know there is a pokestop there, because they would see people using it all the time, and they would find that behavior very suspicious if they didn't know. Eventually, possibly by asking somebody, they would figure it out.
When I use the nearest pokestop to my house, which is somewhat out of the way, there is quite often a vehicle parked there with the motor running and somebody in it staring down at their phone.
On the surveillance video, it appears that the officer that pulled Toni over came from the bakery parking lot. From that position, they would have a clear view down W. 26 Ave and of the pokestop. He or she would have seen Toni drive down the street, stop at the pokestop, and then leave. They would know exactly what she was up to without even asking.
That's why they were so sure this was an accident, and that is why they continue to be so sure this is an accident. That's why the Andersons are so sure it was an accident.
Everybody is all outraged. "How can they call this an accident so quickly?" I believe I have answered that question and quite a few more...
I'm actually finding it pretty funny that when I gave them my tip they responded that they would look into it. Good one.
All in my opinion.
