Everyday policing is often a matter of conflicting priorities.At Mondawmin Mall the other day, two officers on foot patrol -- ostensibly trying to prevent cars from being stolen -- ticketed 19 motorists. They had expired license tags but had gone to the Motor Vehicle Administration to renew them."I went to get my tags," said an angry Marcellus Oglesby, 18holding a $17 ticket. "Then I saw this on my windshield. If I'm down here getting my tags, why did I get a ticket?"This kind of mass ticketing reportedly often happens at thbeginning of a new month, when tardy motorists' cars become easy targets for vigilant officers at Mondawmin.

McLean's lawyer, a judge last night ordered that the indicted Baltimore comptroller's trial on theft and misconduct charges begin today.While Baltimore Circuit Judge Elsbeth L. Bothe turned down Mrs. McLean's second attempt to put off the trial on psychiatric grounds, defense lawyer M. Cristina Gutierrez vowed to raise a number of motions that could delay its start.The judge said she was not convinced that Mrs. McLean, who has attempted suicide and has been hospitalized for depression for months, should receive a postponement to allow her to receive additional psychiatric treatment.
