Mr. Wolf, of course you must come to a complete stop. Count to 3 at the stop before proceeding forward. You must do this at any time of day or night or the PO Leese will get you.

The sign says STOP not roll or Hollywood Stop. It means you come to a complete stop look both ways and, if safe, procede through the intersection. Whether there is a cop there or not and whether another car is anywhere in sight you must stop.

Well its a stop sign at 1 in the morning and its a stop at 3 pm so even if no one is the i think it means to stop!!!
And your risking a lot more than a couple of seconds!!

Well, they do have stop signs that disappear when there are no other cars around. Those you can run through. But if the stop sign is present, then that means you have to actually stop.

Reminds me of the joke, a cop stops a lawyer for failing to stop. The lawyer insists he slowed down enough to justify it being a stop. He demands the cop show him the difference between slowing down and stopping. The cop agrees and asks the lawyer to step from the car. The cop starts beating the lawyer with his nightstick.
The cop asked the lawyer "do you want me to stop or slow down?".

Basically, STOP means STOP. Look at it this way: Suppose an officer pulls you over and for some strange reason commences to punch your lights out. Would you prefer that he STOP or just slow down a little?
'Nuff said.

Yes. Complete stop. Legally.
But if you don't mind breaking the law, Then Why ask the question? If theres no one there, then who'd know? Legally you have to completely stop, but if no one is there to see you, then theres no way you'd get caught, so the only one who'd know is you. Leaving it up to your discretion. Can you live with yourself if you break the law?

Yes you do. The stop sign says STOP not slow down. You can receive a traffic violation if you do not stop.

It may seem not worth it but you must. Where would you draw the line, a card a block away, 500 ft, 400 ft. There has to be all or nothing.
