Official NYPD Business? I don't think so.
9003 56th Avenue, Queens. Observed by hiyall on Sat, Nov 29 2008
Parks illegally under No Standing Anytime sign, next to school, 2 malls and between 2 merging streets.
Arguably racketeering with the 110th to break law and not get summons.
Way to go! NY's finest.
Breaking in new signage

NYPD parks illegally to shop next to school, 2 malls and in midst of merging traffic.
This is location of an injury accident with one of the contributing factors being the safety risks of parked cars here.

Parking to shop
90-10 56th Avenue, Queens. Observed by hiyall on Wed, Jan 30 2008
Another ethically challenged police officer who thinks that No Parking Anytime doesn't include those who can abuse their authority.
This is perpetrated in a high traffic area where 2 roads merge, students walk to school (adjacent to High school facility), across the street from Queen's Center Mall Annex Parking facility and between 2 high traffic malls.

Noticed this car on Waldo Ave onle bacuase a friend of mine got a ticket 3 cars down.
This vehicle is parked in a no parking zone. One Monday morning, this sign came up that was once prime parking on the street. Since then, this grey Chevrolet has been parking there several nights per week.

Nothing! Because you're above the law!

Virginia parks 2 months, switches agencies 3 times
34 vestry st, Manhattan. Observed by IamEntitled on Thu, Sep 27 2007
First noticed this car with Virginia plates on Vestry Street two months ago, when it displayed a Court Officer permit. Its tags expired, we called the First Precinct in early August to asked if it was an abandoned vehicle or potential threat as it was parked so close to the Holland Tunnel and hadn't been moved for a week. The First Precinct didn't respond, so we phoned the State Courts number listed on the permit, and were told this plate wasn't registered to that permit. So we followed the story: The car then disappeared. It reappeared a few days later with new Virginia tags. Then in early September it displayed a new NYPD permit. Then recently it switched to the present NYPD permit.
An honest law enforcement officer for the State or City of New York obeys state DMV regulations that require you to register your car in the state of residence. NJ, CT or even PA we might understand, but Virginia really doesn't cut the mustard. However, given that a gentleman from 34 Vestry Street once ran out the door when we were taking photos of this car to ask if everything was "all right" we have to wonder if this car is actually registered to a full-time local law enforcement officer. The PBA card was recently added as well. This just doesn't add up; top law-enforcement officials on official business have no need to display PBA cards. Fake permit holders, however, are notorious for doing so; just ask a cop or traffic agent about this. Moreover, we all know there are many vehicles in New York City registered in other states—especially Pennsylvania, Virginia and North Carolina—because it's particularly easy to register cars there and save big bucks on insurance. A nearby landlord told me that this particular block is notorious for fake permits and extended parking. So is this vehicle parked day after day on legitimate law-enforcement business or not?

"Official Business" ? to see a Movie?
15th street and Prospect park west, Brooklyn. Observed by Peter on Sat, Sep 15 2007
Once again the NYPD is parking infront of the fire Hydrant on the end of my block to go and see a movie. I am happy that they get time to enjoy a movie and should. But don't park where their fellow cops ticket anyone else that is even 2 inches closer than the 15 feet limit. Always a double standard.

It appears that the nypd has a RESERVED parking spot at this hydrant. 311 was called to no avail, again! The 104th does not ticket their own putting our lives in jeopardy.
