Re: Kathy Courtney Hochul signs bus lane fines protection bill

When I was a rookie, sometimes I would be asked to accompany a District Detective if a second one couldn't go. Classic late 80s unmarked NYC Police vehicle with the cherry light on the dash and the "official business" POLICE placard in the dash. He would park on Lexington or right off corner by subway entrances or in front of businesses/office buildings were the C/V worked. About 70% of the time we would get back to the unmarked with a ticket or a sloppopatimus brownie in the act of writing. Some, with a straight face would say that they "didn't know" it was a police vehicle. Most would say that they are told to write everyone, City/State/Government vehicles included except marked vehicles of an agency. The salty old timer Detectives, who back then mostly came on in the 60s, would just toss it in the garbage!
