If the NYPD is concerned about the cost of the equipment, perhaps we can just raise the fines to pay for it. It's a win/win. Motorists get some assurance that their tickets are legit and the rest of us get more reliable enforcement of the law. Photo evidence for every ticket sounds fine to me.

I say take the picture first, then give the ticket, especially if there is a driver in the car. maybe take pictures of the motorist yelling at the agent too...video & audio would be awesome and could be used to prove verbal assaults on ticket agents. Of course the photos should just be extra evidence since photos will only come out good in certain lighting conditions. The agent's eyewitness account is the primary evidence.

I think you wanted <a href="http://www.wnyc.org/shows/bl/episodes/2009/06/11/segments/133983" rel="nofollow">this link</a>. Coincidentally, I've written two posts about subway etiquette in the past week with an assist from Beliefnet. Neither of those were mentioned on the Lehrer show, and I know his producers read my site. Oh well. The last link to the WNYC clip goes to a New York Times article. I think you wanted this link.
