This is an older one I found in my archive. NYC Council is aware of the situation... we'll see if they do anything about it.

Other violations can be seen here:

Gee, they're on "Official Business" quite a bit over here, along with the Court Officers. They can't be bothered to pay the meter.

I've caught this driver before:

This driver uses an NYC Council car for non-official business (picking up her son at the Boys Club in the East Village), and in the process parks illegally at hydrants and in No Parking Anytime zones. She has two expired placards in her windshield, as documented by the attached photos.

After reading today's New York Post article on permit abuse, I returned to this site after several months. I watched two ladies of a certain age (one in a nice fur coat) get out of a Subaru on Vestry Street, and walk in around the corner to the 92Y Tribeca. I did a little detective work of my own: they checked in for a 1 pm literature class, and got comfy in the cafe with cups of tea while waiting. This sort of abuse is mind-numbing and Governor Paterson ought to crack down on his Judicial Branch permits the same way that Mayor Bloomberg has on the NYPD. Going to a literature class with a NYS Judicial Branch permit just isn't kosher in 2009—especially if you are a judge and your job is to uphold the law!

There is a parole office across the street from us. We are a construction company that has active loading docks that are in constant use through out the day, especially in the morning. These people with their "State of NY Police" placards park right in front of our garage doors causing our business to come to a stop. The nerve and total disregard is pathetic and we are outraged with the situation.

well once again parking at the fire hydrants on my block. two busy to find a legal spot or maybe not block the hydrant 100%.

Parked in front of the Bowery Residents Committee on Lafayette in a no-parking zone, this permit could be made on just about any off-the-shelf color laser printer. The "not valid for tolls" notation is an additionally charming touch.

This car has been parked on John Street between William and Gold in Lower Manhattan for the past 48 hours now in a clearly marked "No Standing Zone."

There is no official police business that this person could be on for the past 48 hours. In fact, the NY State Executive Branch (Spitzer's office) has been contacted and if anyone else needs the email of his office to contact, just leave a comment requesting it and it'll be posted here.

In a previous post - http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/2176 - I noted how this exact same car enjoys parking in the intersection. Other prison guards enjoy sidewalk and double parking around the Bayview correctional facility, and today we've ratcheted up the special privileges another step: parking official state vehicles right in the crosswalk, over the curb. What will these clever folks think of next? M14 and M23 buses stop right nearby, and these buses are apparently good enough for the executives at InterActiveCorp down the street. Those families coming to visit their loved ones in prison; those folks going to Chelsea Piers across West Street; and those employees of Bermuda limousine directly across West 20th street are constantly inconvenienced by these über-entitled prison guards and staff who daily park with impunity. If the guards were not entitled to violate City parking regulations, the State would have ample places to park its vehicles necessary for prisoner transport. Warden, you've got a mission to take corrective action. This isn't rural Hamilton County in the Adirondacks -- it's a densely-populated city whose residents ought to be able to walk on their sidewalks.

Man, you can buy those cute little dash lights on www.galls.com for $40.
That's one of the most ridiculous attempts at impersonating a police officer I've seen, and somehow it passes muster???

That's a bunch of muni-meter money going the way of the dodo, too.

This car is parked on this street all the time. Its a residential block with no parking

I noticed this SUV because a traffic patrol person pulled over and saw the police card on the dash then drove off.
