Not only that, but he or she would probably end up pushing a broom or cleaning bathrooms. This is unofficially what happens to any TEA who tickets a PO's illegally parked private vehicle.So that's why it's very common to see cars parked overnight in bus stops or in front of hydrants with a placard in the windshield. Never mind that the placard is ONLY to be used on official, on-duty police business within the jurisdiction of the precinct shown on the placard. There's a PO who lives on my block who routine parks his/her car in a bus stop, in front of a hydrant or in violation of ASP rules. When the car is actually parked legally- surprise!- the placard is not displayed. At one BBQ hosted by a retired cop where many attendees were active and retired cops, a lot of them said that a main reason they joined the NYPD was so that they could park anywhere in the city- at least till they bought the house on Long Island- and would be allowed to speed and run red lights off-duty nationwide with impunity. Just flash that PBA card. Isn't is great how the NYPD protects its own and PUNISHES traffic agents for ticketing illegally parked vehicles whose owners misuse their credentials for this purpose? |
