Why pay for parking - just park for free! (part 4)
80-00 Cooper Avenue, Queens. Observed by QueensWatcher on Mon, Sep 15 2008
Apparently, the gym at the Atlas Park shopping center in Glendale, Queens is a favorite amongst the NYPD. You have to pay $3 to park in the mall's parking garage. So they park on the street, in a "no standing anytime" zone instead. They never get ticketed because of professional courtesy and they block the bus from pulling over into a special cutout.

NYPD Applicant Processing Division parked illegally
East 10th st and avenue A, Manhattan. Observed by lawandorder on Mon, Sep 15 2008
Regular occurrence
cypress avenue and stockholm street, Brooklyn. Observed by QueensWatcher on Wed, Sep 10 2008
This happens daily on Stockholm Street between St. Nicholas and Cypress Avenues in Brooklyn. The person who owns this vehicle uses the hydrant as their own private parking space, believing the invalid permit they have in the window gives them immunity from punishment. The placard belongs to someone working in the NYPD's Housing P.S.A #9 which is on Jewel Avenue in Flushing, Queens. Total disregard for fire safety on display.
Hydrant as private parking space
Stockholm Street, Queens. Observed by QueensWatcher on Tue, Sep 09 2008
This 2007 Honda not only is parked too close to the fire hydrant, but also has a placard belonging to an officer at the 30th Precinct in Manhattan, which is nowhere close to this spot near the Brooklyn-Queens border. It also has a film over the rear license plate to evade red light cameras, so it's possible that parking violations aren't all the driver is guilty of. The 104th Precinct frequently drives through the area, stops to look at this car parked illegally, sees the placard and keeps driving while others get tickets for being parked further away from the johnnypump.

M/F off duty cops park illegally creating blind spot which endangers kids at the school and shoppers and other drivers who must merge traffic here. When they returned, the M ordered the F to get in the car and hide the placard. The M kept his back to my camera so as not to expose his face. Knowingly Guilty!

Private Parking
7022 Ridge Blvd, Brooklyn. Observed by Buttle on Fri, Jul 11 2008
This officer's car can be found parked here any time he's not working. Evidently he feels entitled to have a parking space available in front of his building at any time, while the rest of us have to get home by 6:00pm or so if we are to have any chance of finding a spot. Here are some other occasions...
