Where did you hear this? You're a cop, so I guess you have access to stats, but it's definitely nothing I've heard of.
Do you mean like drivers are raging at panhandlers? Isn't a road rage incident where either a person gets out of their vehicle and confronts someone or dangerous moves are made with the vehicle due to driver to driver argument?
I'd like to see the stats you have on this, cause beyond frustration I can't see there being a significant rise of people actually engaging in "road rage" incidents over it. And haven't these intersection panhandlers been around forever?
