How many of these cars had placards, fake or otherwise. Why is the pressure not being kept on placard abuse and free EZ-passes, especially now that the cops got a 19% raise.

Come on Mike tackle the damage done to the streets by placard abuse and cops out-of-control.

For TV reporters I think it helps if you have some photos that they can use, and if you can explain the “outrage” in one sentence. They used a bunch of my photos in the news story. This one was easy, anyone can see that those cars are parked illegally.

In the story they said that the police said they had “no complaints on file.” I have a copy of the complaint I submitted, and the people at my community board said that this has been a running issue. So, I’m sort-of annoyed about that, they *do* have a complaint “on file.”

At any rate, I’m keeping my eye on this area and I’ll do an update in a few weeks on the Bronx Group.

Good for NY1 for running the story! Thanks!

Now (as we all well know), it’s up to New York’s finest, the New York City Police Department, led by Commissioner (and rumored mayoral candidate) Raymond Kelly to ENFORCE THE LAW and ticket and tow drivers who park on the sidewalk and in otherwise illegal ways.

Come on NYPD! Enforce the law!
