Okay bklyncop1,
Let's see if this thread doesn't get too far off the tracks.
Also, if you can help us out to fit your contest parameters by publishing every single Self Enforcement Zone (SEZ) boundary so that we can determine whether the pictures are in them. Also, if you could get Legal to define a SEZ so we could clarify that as well.

Thanks.

Hyposcrisy? If we all broke these laws and no one got ticketed and I were just out to get the cops, THAT would be hypocrisy. But I have the $115 tickets when I park illegally and a cop decides that I don't merit their discretion.

Hypocrisy = inconsistency.

It's frightening to hear some people's description of morality.

Efficent streets,
Thanks for posting this. I guess I get agrravated on this site a little too much so I figured I'll have some fun. As for the boundaries for the SEZ's I guess we can do it 2 ways.... 1. Whoever posts can give a exact location of the offense and 2. I can probably research it and get all pct. and other NYPD location boundaries and e-mail it to you.

Its too easy but what the hell... hey beanstalk whats all this talk of hypocrisy and morality? Lets stick with what I originally posted... thank you

"I can probably research it and get all pct. and other NYPD location boundaries and e-mail it to you."

bklyncop1, why would you want to do that? The SEZs are there to provide us with parking, and often are located close enough to precincts to help protect our cars too.

Many of these libs don't realize the intentional damage that gets done to our cars by all the scumbags and thugs we deal with. Yes, any car in the shitty city can get vandalized, but ours get TARGETED.

Don't give these cop hating libs ANY information. All they will do is use it for their own agenda.

I guess this post will be deleted now too since you're all out for the truth and all.

B52, I've had some luck on this site. I requested licence plate numbers not be shown, I even had some threads of mine stay on after they drew alot of attention that bashed this site. What I'm trying to do here is bring up a couple of valid points. the main one is that the NYPD is not the majority violator in the city, other agencies are. we all know them but lets let the picture takers figure them out. Second is that even if we "violate" the law by parking where ever we want, most of us do it without causing any public saftey hazards as the people who post the "violations" claim. maybe if they would just step back for a second before taking the ppicture they would see that too.

B52,
the reason your stuff comes off is usually for one or two simple words that could easily be left out of the post. I don't mind criticism to the site or the people posting here if it's at all constructive, like most of your comment above.

When you write "cop hating libs" though, that's when your comments come down. And that's a pretty tame phrase compared to some that you've used in the past.

That said, same thing goes for people who say things about donuts and pork products (let alone nails and any other really ridiculous crap). Those kinds of remarks and asides kill an entire comment. If you refrain from them, your comments will stay up.

This is getting fun!!!

I agree with bklyncop1. If you people had a parking perk you'd use it also.

NEWS VAN MAN

Folks,

This area used to be legal parking. when they made 90th street 1-way east (from 2-way a few years ago), they said they had to make most of this block of East End a no standing anytime zone for some obscure reason (uniform code of traffic, or something like that). When I park with 1/4 of my car in the bad zone it's $115, but official cars have no problem. how is that fair? Either it's a problem or not. This wasn't set aside as Gracie mansion parking. There's aready a fullblock for that. These guys park at (not near) hydrants and crosswalks. If anytihing, it ive the job a bad name.

bklyncop1: I was responding to B52 callng us hypocrits. It completely misses the point to drag out the "underpaid NYPD need parking perks." That is such a "don't ruin the Job" mentality. I thought that was left behind in the '70's." I don't think we're the ones who need to step back.

Keep blocking fire hydrants untill there's a fireand people die!

I’m not a lib; I’m a conservative and will vote for any politician that takes away your parking privileges. Why do you think government can get away with offering police bad contracts, it is because your acting like divas.

1. ourlivesinjeopardy- The law states that you have to be more than 15' at a hydrant, Right? Ok good we agree on that.... Now, go to any firehouse and measure the trucks, what truck fits into a 15' spot? None of them... they all double park and run the hoses... SO.... It doesnt matter if I park 5' or 20' they can still do the job.

2. #12 Anonymous- No politician is going to do that because its like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Divas you call us, hmm Give me what I deserve, salary wise and I will become whatever diva you want me to be, until then walk a day in our shoes you ungratefull "conservative" and then lets sit down and talk. By the way NYPD offers ride alongs to civilians. Sign up for one.... BUT!!!! not in your "conservative" 'hood, do it in Flatbush, I'll be more than happy to show you around... Hey!!! Woodruff ave. statistic on the way....

bklyncop,

It's not just about safety.

Your illegal parking "habit" -- your liberal attitude towards city law -- blights New York City neighborhoods, encourages automobile dependence and generates additional traffic congestion, all of which helps to pollute the city's air and make us more dependent on oil from countries that hate America.

Your automobile dependence has huge implications for the city, the country and the world. So, take the train like a real New Yorker and get a clue while you're at it.

OH!!! I get it... you dont care that I park where ever I want you just want to stop us from driving and to protect your planet... HEY BUDDY!!!! The planet will always be here... It doesnt need saving... SO... take your train I'll take my big gas guzzling SUV, and go my merry way. HEY!!! Thats a idea... why dont you ALSO go your merry way and let people do what makes them happy. i like to drive... I havent been on a train in 10 years and even then that was the first time in like 10 years.... You have your mode of transportation I have mine... do I try making you do things You dont enjoy? NAH!!! I dont care what you do... so WHY should you care what I do? If it doesnt effect you personally STOP ANNOYING US!!!!

Shame on you bklyncop1. I was starting to believe you made a point, but your anger and selfishness are putting a bad light on the rest of PD and other civil servants who do not abuse their priviledge. That's right, PRIVELEDGE. One that can be taken away as easily as your drivers license. If PD and Fire had residency requirements like the rest of civil servants our transit system would probably be safer. Get over yourself.

Hey Einstein!!! we do have residency requirments... BUT as I stated earlier WHY? Why should I take public transportation? The hours we work and the overtime we do makes it almost impossible to lead a normal "worker ant" transit to and from work. Your right, it is a priveledge that all you cry babies are jealous of. tell me mr anonymous, what do you do for a living? you dont have to tell us where, but what is it you do? I'll find a priveledge in that also....
P.S crime in transit is at a low.... Einstein................

The politicians need to stop kow towing to the NYPD. They
do not vote, why? Most don't live within the Five boroughs.
They all would rather die than live in the city they protect.
number 16, they do have a residency requirement, they can't live
anywhere except NJ, PA, CT places like that.
But they are allowed to live in Rockland, Nassau, Suffolk
etc, you get the idea. So, they don't vote in the City elections.

darn, I proof read it and it should be they CAN live
anywhere except for PA, NJ, CT etc.

I say "Screw the environment"! I live for the here and now and if that means that i want to drive a gas guzzler then so be it. The Earth will still be here long after you and I die. It will still be here long after humanity kills itself off. You are the fool who assumes that by riding his bike from latte shop to art exhibit that he is indeed saving the Earth. Grow up and smell the coffee. I will get mines while the taking is here. I look out for number #1 and my family and if that means polluting the very air that your yuppy lungs use then so be it. At least I will die knowing that I contributed in the extinction of that liberal bike riding sub species that has hindered our lineage of humanity.

# 24 thanks for your Comment about the NYPD's Mental Limitations. Do you want to compare degree's or are you to embarassed?? Most of us could probably have made very different career choice's, but thankfully for you and the city we became Police Officers and made this city the safest big city in the world. You are sorely mistaken if you think that we took this job as a last resort, this is a calling, it is something that most of us have wanted to do since we were very little. And yes we all knew what we were getting into when we took this job. So go back to your meaningless little existence and leave the tough decisions to the professionals.

^you scare me.
thankfully we have this site for all prosperity.
anyway, so if this is the SAFEST city, why still all the bitching?
You should be happy that there's no crime. which is it?

HEY, WHAT ABOUT THE INITIAL CHALLENGE...I AM TRULY QUITE INTERESTED ABOUT SEEING IF ANYONE CAN REALLY DELIVER ON IT. ENOUGH SMALL TALK AND BI-PARTISAN BICKERING...LET'S SEE SOME ACTION...ANYONE CAN TYPE...NOT EVERYONE CAN ACTUALLY DO SOMETHING!

If anyone forgot and got lost with all the verbal spit-balling and paper plane tossing in this juvenile-like internet classroom....

I will re-itterate...

THE CHALLENGE IS TO TAKE PICTURES OF REAL SAFETY HAZARDS BY OTHER AGENCIES, NOT ONLY THE HIGHEST MANNED POLICE DEPARTMENT IN THE WHOLE WIDE WORLD...BUT OTHER AGENCIES LIKE FDNY, SANITATION, HOUSING, TRANSIT, YOU GET THE IDEA...

and no self enforced zones either...
REAL SAFETY ISSUES TOO LIKE,

1. Blocked hydrants
2. Blocked/Impeeded crosswalks
3. Double/triple parking
4. Sidewalk parking
5. Intersection parking

GOOD LUCK!

I thought all posts that are derogatory in manner were to be deleted. I guess that only counts if a cop insults a civilian and not the other way around.

#24 The reason why we bitch about money is a couple of reasons. We are only asking for comparable pay from around our industry. If you are an accountant and make 100g a year and they guy in the next office makes 150g, and you guys did the same exact job (in fact you work a little more and harder), you would ask for a raise. We do make an ok living but to make that living ok we have to work a lot of OT. Some forced some not. That pulls us away from our families more and more. This city and its inhabitants have gotten filthy rich off of the work that the men and women of the NYPD have put in over the last 15 years, we are just asking for what we deserve. That is our simple request.

To answer your question about not living in the city. I used to live in the city for a long time. One of the only reasons I don't live there anymore is the fact I have kids and would NEVER put my kids through those horrid schools and I don't have the money to send them to private school. I want my kids to have the best education they can have, not a dismal one that the NYC school system promises. Also, despite those failing schools top pay teachers make 100g a year, is that fair? No.

You can call us what you want, I come to that city do my job and sign out at the end of tour and that is all I care about. I lost my interest in caring for this city.

I know this is going to be deleted!!!

bklyncop1 omg! you think 15 feet is for a truck to park? #13, You never saw the nyfd in action! What's wrong with you?

Hey hey, relax y'all.
I have a life outside this website (a very insignificant one, mind you, but I do turn off the computer). If you've been on here for any amount of time you will notice that the reprehensible comments come down (thanks, B52, for pointing those out, now I'm taking yours down as well so those comments don't stay up in replicate).

I know it's fun flexing our beer muscles on anonymous comment boards, but please try to keep it to a modicum of civility, people.

Also, despite Brooklyncop1's challenge, and I feel that safety hazards are the most significant of the posts to this site, there are numerous other pieces of this equation that will continue to see the light of day, so don't be surprised that all kinds of stuff stays up here.

Oh I've seen them in action... and not once do they pull into that spot... what is the 15' for? tell me my friend... ourlivesinjeopardy, not really you have us keeping you safe... your welcome....where do you live? name a area not a address...chances are that was a crappy area before we took it over and made it yuppie heaven and real estate sky rocketed.

My challenge was for people to post real hazards not talk about saving the planet... we need saving not mother Earth...
I also agree with petergriffin, no way will I send my kids to public school after elementary, I also plan on moving out of this ungratefull city, But!!! because I want a better future for my kids... This city has turned into a nightmare... NYC in the '80s was a better city to live in because you knew where you stood...

15 feet on either side is for the hose to arc when fully charged. They put the openings on a hydrant at an angle so there is a certain amount of space needed to properly do the job.

Is there a problem not selfishly using that space as MOS personal parking?

As far as your contest, I could fill up this board with pictures just in my pct.

Also I could get beaten and thrown in jail on phony charges. Came pretty close the last time I went to document the late tour shift change parking and driving (Driving!).

However, I work undercover and enough know of me that I would be instantly ID'ed. The NYPD doesn't always follow the law, as ch 2 news pointed out, that it's dangerous to take pictures of the cops.

Hey #37- what the hell are you talking about? "beaten" "thrown in jail" what country do you live in? Please talk to us like we are 3 year olds... T-A-L-K S-L-O-W-L-Y, what are you rambling about? Your Pct.? are you a cop? If so you must work for the rat squad,,for even caring about the SEZ parking that we use.
WAIT A MINUTE!!!!Did you even read what you typed? you a wakko, why even waste my time with this guy, sorry people....

I guess pranks arent confined to phones only....

wow, someone got worked up.

don't go Cho on us, bklyncop1.

:-)

#35 "(thanks, B52, for pointing those out, now I'm taking yours down as well so those comments don't stay up in replicate)"

No problem.

SEZ's are a lot of baloney. They are a made up fiction, like Roswell.

As for this ID nonsense, it is not difficult to find cops, just look for illegally parked cars with no tickets on them. That is a red herring. What about legit red signed agency parking spots?? How difficult is it to identify a cops car. This is just a bogus claim and brooklyn cop is just a spin doctor.

Thats pretty much what this site is about... illegally parked cars... BUT!!!! what I want is a legitamate saftey hazard, not jealousy... We do have red signs in our SEZ, so what? I havent moved my car in 2 consecutive street cleaning days... BIG deal.. is that hazardous? nope... Hey #43 Write back when you wanna make some real contributions....

"BUT!!!! what I want is a legitimate safety hazard, not jealousy." Says bklyncop1.
Sounds to me like Someone is trying to shift the focus from the agency which continues to violate VTL on a regular basis to other agencies with fewer, (alot fewer) posted violations on this site. No matter who does it the bottom line is average hard working people obey the law and if they don't, they Must Pay. Why should others in certain positions of authority be exempt?

As far as Officials parking in designated areas set aside for them while ON DUTY thats fine as long as it Does Not create a Hazardous situation. On the other hand, using placards and such to avoid receiving a ticket while Not on duty should not be tolerated.

I Personally don't feel like people are targeting the Police Department on this site but, it's basically like catching fish in a barrel. I've read plenty of comments on this site and Most of the ones I've read from Law Enforcement have been that of Hostility & Arrogance Towards citizens who believe when it comes to the Law that Everyone should Obey them and those who are Sworn to Uphold them should Lead by Example.

I was at an event and an off duty working security came out and put money in the meter and put the plaque away. Somebody yelled "He's taking pictures for that website" which wasn't true.

I thought I'd let you know you guys are making an impression.

Jealous? We don't mind if the cops get parking when they get to work but they've let it get out of control.

Hey, my buddy abovethelawurnot is back... whoopie doo!!!!! lets see what nonsense he has to say today....Hmmm mr. construction guy I challanged you to go to a fire house and then to a SEZ by a pct. to see who actually has more violations... did u? nope... why not? BECAUSE you are oneway and only wanna bash the police. better yet lets start small... post office, then court house then detention center then news buildings then fire house then NYPD... OK? I'll teach you to crawl before you can run after us.

HEY #48... since your anonymous I figure I can borrow your mask, done for the night? Explain to me what that has to do with anything? OH WAIT!!!! let me guess we are "stealing" spots :-) haha... or "stealing" revenue :-0 heehee... I dont get it... why dont you come up with a cute nic for your self so I know when your trying to come after me, at least abovethelawurnot is kinda a man by signing up and having a profile.... do me and anyone else on this site a favor... When you feel like oneliners stick to the standup clubs and take over the unknown comics job... wear a bag over your head so no one knows who you are.... wuss....
P.S learn to check for spelling errors... dummy

Brooklyn cop, you are doing great PR for the NYPD. Keep up the great work.

BKLYNCOP1, keep up the good work. Obviously your know what your doing when you rile up the latte chugging individuals of this site.

God Bless you, bro.

No desk duty my friend, check the times... I play then I go to work and when i get home I'll check it again... Its my hobby, kinda like yours...@#&#$@& %#@# (I promised efficent streets I wouldnt curse so lets use our imagination people)I want all you bashers out there to try and open your eyes... I dont get it, I challenged you all and all I get is one line comments? show me the pictures....As for my supporters on this site... Try to play nice with everyone else so no posts get deleted. This way everyone can see that WE ARE BETTER HUMANS *tear*

To all the naysayers who says this site is not about bashing the cops. All I have to say is out of the 374 "violations" on this site 147 are attributed to the NYPD (even though most are bogus) that is 39.30% of the total. You have 26 governmental agencies listed and you proclaim we are violators 40% of the time. Come on. This site is just for people who want to get back at the cop who wrote them a parking or traffic citation. Let's have the truth be told.

LETS ALSO POINT OUT HOW NEWS VANS ARE PARKED ALL OVER ILLEGALLY WHILE DOING THEIR EMERGENCY CALLS! BUT YOU LIBS WONT TALK ABOUT THAT!

Why is it, if Someone Comments on the Illegal actions of Civil Servants They are Labeled as Liberals? Could it Possibly be all they want is for Government Agencies to Follow the same Rules and Regulations Regular Citizens are Required to Follow or Get Penalized if they Don't? As soon as Someone Comments on Them Breaking the Law, Their Labeled a Lib. Whatever, Just Start Parking Legally and Stop Boasting about Your So Called "PERKS" Once again it's Not a "PERK" if it's Illegal, and That's the Bottom Line..

I don't really care to see any more posts in this thread unless it's a safety violation. No more arguments. Efficient Streets please moderate this. No one seems to be able to find any NYPD safety violations. There haven't even been others posted since this thread came up.

Are you guys kidding me? Cops and Civ. how long are you all going to repeat the same stuff,i actually use to enjoy this site from both ends ,but it has become plain old stupid

Saftey? How about a department of Corrections wagon parked in front of a Hydrant! Not slightly blockin, but completely Blocking it. This was at 08:15 this morning in front of 2 Washington Street in Manhattan!

Hostility people, hostility... #62 anonymous- why dont you reveal yourself so I know I'm talking to the same guy. If it wasnt for people like me you wouldnt be living safe and comfy... #63- How about a picture? isnt that what this is about? You also said it was corrections... C O R R E C T I O N S.... not NYPD.. oh my God.. another agency violating the rules... Take a picture... show all your lib friends that we are not the only agency that parks in the city. I bet if it was NYPD you wouldve taken a picture... #64-corrupt dept? So genius... you admit that this site and your post is against the police dept. not other agencies. typical oneway lib....

Bk, sounds to me like your gripe is with the DOT. I think yu shoudl go down there in uniform and give them a piece of your mind. You tell them all their signs are ridiculous and that they should all be taken down.

Where, in all my responds do you get the idea that I have a gripe with DOT? Its obvious you read as good as you spell.

I work in a city that I think is the greatest city in the world. I was born and bred here grew up in the 70's and 80's when this city was at it's worst, BUT... I would take those times over this liberal Disney wonderland that it has become. I will probably never leave brooklyn but if I did it would be to go to Long Island. See this liberal city is making the public schools here horrible, I dont want to get off topic but, I dont hate NYC I hate what the people are turning it into. This goes for the rest of the country, not just NYC. Liberals are taking over and trying to make this a "happier" place for all. As for Iraq and fighting... as a father of 3 I wish all the soldiers could come home, i was at a funeral the other day for a solider who was killed over there. He was a baby, couldve been my son.( actually he was my freinds son). I'm very politicly incorrect, that was a Iraqi problem let them deal with it. they are animals let them live like that, animals.
Alot of cops , of all ranks are in the military, afew that I know are actually over there now. Dont talk to me about patriotism, Missouri boy, as a matter of fact, why are you here?

How come there has been no violations all week? Is it because this site is losing steam? Can't find any? Or people are starting to show their true colors and don't really care anymore?

petergriffin, I think you touched on something...I think my challenge might of had some effect on some people. I think they are out there looking for legitamate saftey hazards and the owners of the cars might be more aware of the problem with parking where it is dangerous. I have accomplished 2 things, no more BS pictures and also prevented a real condition. I'm sure one of the anonymous wussys will have something to say but I have reached a solution.... I wont waste my time responding to any one who doesnt take a few minutes to sign up to this site. I have registered, posted comments and offered a prize. Who's the better man,Missouri boy?

It does only take about 2 min to register.

I wish i could be as calm as bklyncop1 but I am not so forgiving. What is the matter with you people? Do you all know who protects this city and your lives? The police do. Who cares if they park in a busstop or bicycle lane? Thats the least we can give them for the thankless job they do. by the way even before I became a cops wife, I never cared what they did as long as it doesnt hurt anyone. Stop crying and let them do the job they are hired to do... protect ungratefull people.

And it is so easy to do even someone from Missouri can do it!!! Register people.

bklyncop1 I've Stated Plenty of times before that I have no Hatred for the NYPD just Officers that feel they can abuse their Authority. I will not make Insults about you because I Don't Personally Know You. Your Village People Remark was Quite Childish, Thats like Me Labeling you as the Cop from the Village People, It Has no Relevance on the Issues at Hand. My Life Partner Happens to be the Mother of My Children and Grandmother to My Granddaughter.

God Bless You bklyncop1, your Wife, Your Children Others in Law Enforcement and their Wives and Children. I Know the Job you do is Dangerous as Well as Other Hard Working Individuals in Blue Collar Fields. I Also Know their is a Big Difference in the Work You do Compared to Others. I would Just Like to State Once Again "As far as Officials Parking in Designated areas set aside for them while ON DUTY thats Fine as long as it Does Not create a Hazardous Situation. On the other hand, using Placards and such to avoid Receiving a ticket while Not on duty should not be Tolerated.

With that Said, If you Still Feel the Need to Insult Me, So be It..... I Wish No Harm to You, Your Family or All Those in Law Enforcement, Military Service and All Other Agencies that Make this City and Country Great...

I've sent this site to deputy commish skyler and will continue to do so each and everyday.
hey brooklyncop wife, can I get a buss on the cheek? or better yet, try and get out of the borough of brooklyn once in a while.
Missouri is the "show me" state. but then we're not talking about rocket science just illegal parking in front of a hydrant.

Here comes my diatribe.......

Cops do not get paid too much. However, they are very successful in keeping the city safe. Let them enjoy their perk.

The only point I want to make is that whenever you drive you support alot of evil people. Same as if you would use illegal drugs. Do you really want to support big oil and terrorists? Do you see their remarkable yachts on the Mediterranean? Do you see the excesses of oil barons in Texas and the Middle East?

I cannot fathom why someone would drive from one part of the city to another. You can do that for a measly $2.00. I work in Brooklyn where there is plenty of legal street parking a few blocks away from my office. I live in Orange County, 75 miles away from work. Sometimes I stay in the city and visit my parents and my in-laws both of whom live in Northeast Queens. No matter how I cut it, driving is always slower, costlier, and less convenient than mass transit.

Where I live the only mass transit is an NJ transit bus to the Port Authority. They run very well, and right on time. They are cheap, too. Also, I can do my entire commute, door to door, without even going outside. What beats that?

I want to ask all public servants, especially daytime bureaucrats, "Why do you drive to work?"

If it is because you have free parking I feel that mass transit is still cheaper and better on a qualitative scale than driving.

If it is because you work odd hours, I can agree with that driving. But please conside that many mass transit systems are beefing up their non-rush hour schedules. That still might be a consideation.

If it is because you are under some sort of physical threat and need to be protected by staying in a car I understand.

I firmly feel that all city workers should get free mass transit passes as a benefit of their job. That will go a long way in pleasing those workers, yet it costs the city virtually nothing. Also, there will be fewer cars on the road.

I firmly feel that public servants who must drive should park anywhere except meters. If you make them follow the existing parking laws there will be a ton less spaces for regular people.

I just want to say that I am bewildered why a city resident should want to drive to work. It is more expensive, it has less quality, your car is at risk on the streets as opposed to your garage, etc..., you support terrorists and big oil, both of whom truly hate NY.

Have fun........

Keyspanguy, I always had a feeling of idependence driving around, be it to work, a night out, shopping, or whatever. See its my choice to drive everywhere not some group. I understand why you would be "bewildered", but also understand its our choice you choose not to drive everywhere, you choose to take the bus,train, walk etc. It was ststed in the past that as cops our hours are all screwed up.yes in general we do have our regular shifts, lets say for example , I work from 3pm till 1130 pm.Roll call is at 310pm. I have to leave my house at 215 pm (by car) to be at work and ready ontime for roll call. I would have to leave my house at 145 pm to even try and be there on time. (do the reverse to figure out what time i would be home with both means of transportation.) NOW... lets say I arrest someone, and I'm not done till 3am, The next day I have to be back at work at 7am. do you see the problem? no time to go home to rest, see the family, shower, whatever... so do you understand alittle bit now? I'm not going at you hard, because you are one of the few that didnt piss me off on this site. But please try to understand, our job is not like everyone elses.

P.S thanks hun, keep going at them :-)

I don't care if you are pissed off or not. Frankly I think they should reinstate the resident requirement. It was your choice to have a one hour commute. I am sure the situation you described happens every day. You are in the wrong profession, and the world does not owe you a living.

You live in Brooklyn and you drive to work in Manhattan?
Your job is like anyone eles's. It's just a job, you can quit any time.

The DOT has soem legitamate red agency specific signs near precints. The city has no contractual obligation to provide parking for each and every individual in a precinct at the expense of teh local area residents. We are all supposed to respect the law, and there is a process to deal with this. Currently the city is on stalled contract negotiations with the cops that I believe is in arbitration. That is a process as well.

The SEZ is a fabrication, a myth. It is also not always a safety concern and often an issue of taking spaces from the community residents as well as parking meters so important to teh cuty that Mayor Bloomberg had to fight the city council to get them turned off on Sunday. Cops at parking meters impede local businesses. Cops in truck loading and unloading zones do the same and cause trucks to double park.

The cops are not above the law, and there is a process to get signage changes. I think the attitude of people like Brooklyn Cop is very telling and is why where are where we are and this site had to be set up.

You say that SEZs are a fabrication and that the NYPD is under no contractual obligation to provide its members with parking and yet you look in and around any and every precinct around NYC and what do you see?

FREE PARKING FOR COPS!

Perhaps it is you who refuses to realize that reality is knocking on your door and you are not letting him in.

Do us a favor and let reality in....if not for yourself do it for the children. LOL

oops... In case any one wants to know #97 was me...

#94 SEZ's are real I have seen them. They were started in Roswell NM and worked their way to NYC!!!

Soon people will start complaining that some law enforcement officials and agencies give their officers take home cars!!! There is a lot of jealousy here.

Anon guy talking real tough. That is precious!!! Don't worry BK wife he is only starting a fight with a woman because he cannot win one with a man, and by what I see he cannot win one with a woman either. Keep up the good fight!!!

To bklyncop1.......

I see a total justification for parking and driving to work given those hours, especially if you live outside the subway zone. I am really talking about daytime desk bureaucrats with parking permits.

Why drive? Driving is always slower, more expensive, and more frustrating. Let's see how many people still drive when they punch gas up to $4.00 / gallon. As of today the price here is $3.17. Many city commuters quit driving to work because of that. Good luck to all who still choose to drive.

WOW a full week without a single new "violation"
Keep up the good work.

Civil Servants especially the NYPD are running rampant with their "Parking Plaques" the violations are so numerous we must start a movement to end this tyranical practice. But wait their are no violations, it was all a figment of our collective imaginations now we can all live in harmony and focus our anger on something real.

keyspanguy-, now you understand why some proffesions drive. Even if I wanted to drive to work I would just be commuting most of my day if something came up. If i worked in manhattan, I would probably consider driving. But I wouldnt bet the farm on it. As I stated, I enjoy driving, I like the freedom of it. I can smoke, play my music etc... and yes I probably will drive when gas prices go up, its sad but true...

wearethepolice- there is no violation if no summons is issued, its that simple. If the agency's dont think of it as a problem, why do you people? I've stated plenty of times that I dont approve of certain violations (zero feet at a hydrant, middle of a busstop and pedestrian ramp.) other than that, who cares? If the people that monitor our on and off duty actions dont waste the time to monitor us, why do you? This site is a fun way to vent, and some valid points have been made on both sides. Unfortunte for those who really are upset by certain perks people get, ITS NOT GOING TO CHANGE..... For those who are trying to save on congestion and pollution and whatever other cause your fighting for, good luck... people (all types) will always drive into the city...

petergriffin- no new pictures? *sob* I must be doing a good job. I think I did what many have tried and a few have accomplished.. changed a libs mind. :-)

sorry its me again... #109

I already served buddy. Served my time how about you?

Brooklyncop, I noticed your permit says CCRBSUX
You think the dept would like that? They are cracking down on personal
websites.

I think the dept agrees... CCRBSUX

#111 Already served and would gladly go back. How about you??

OK Bklyn Cop....let me ask you this.

I'm driving around Park Slope today for 30 minutes looking for a LEGAL parking spot. Finally find one about 5 blocks away from my destination. Get to my friend's house and there's a fire hydrant right across the street. I'd like to get into the "habit" and "just a habit" of dumping my car in front of that fire hydrant, rather than wasting 30 minutes looking for a spot....and not have to worry about a $115 parking ticket. Why should someone who has a city-issued parking permit be able to do that? If you are going to start something about cops risking their lives....fine...then let the city explicity give cops, firefighters, etc...whoever, a parking permit. Make it part of the compensation package. Whatever! Were that the case, I'd have no complaint...until then...why don't you just break the "habit" and find a legal spot like everyone who doesn't have access to a parking permit (which, as I understand it, is supposed to be used when a vehicle is being used on official business....which clearly, most of the cars on this site are not!)

HEY#94 sez is not a myth! they exist for a reason!if cops have to drive circles to park their cars while coming to work then they cannot do their jobs! then you libs would rant and rave why the cops are taking their sweet time coming to ur 311 complants about trivial conditions!

hey #57 parking rules are to be enforced at the discretion of the officer!remember that when an officer tells you move your illegal parked car and you beg and grovel for extra time while your life partner is in starbucks ordering your 6.99 latte! !! you libs are going to shoot your own foot off! if you take away cops discretion then cops will not consider offering anymore breaks to the people !

yeah ok #93! our job is like everyone else's?does everyone else wear a bullet proof vest, carrying a gun, putting themselves in life threating situations everyday? most of us are quitting! when I find another job i will follow too! then you can fend for yourself!good luck!

No "violations" in a week now. Fantastic. Your ploy worked.

You are great. So happy you put up this site. I have been a VICTIM of these crazy people going around taking pictures. My car is ALWAYS parked legally, yet because I have a plaque, these nuts went crazy on the web, radio, etc. I really don't want to give them the time of day here, you just enjoy screwing around with them...

#118- In a way they already did that without being so straight foward...Do you know how many times I've driven around looking for a parking spot when I'm out, and all there is left is a hydrant? do you know what I do? Park there... as long as I'm not zero on it... thats how it works... Ltes say for example a part of my car was to block the hydrant, I have and will always drive around looking for a better spot. Its human nature, you want the best, If the first available spot is open I'm in there. Tonight I had a function to go to, there was a no standing zone directly in front of the main door, and about 5 car lengths away was a legal spot. Guess where I parked? The legal one. Its not about using the perk, its about abusing it. I've stated over and over again, NO ONE SHOULD BE ZERO AT A HYDRANT, NO ONE SHOULD BE IN THE MIDDLE OF A BUS STOP AND ABSOLUTLEY NO HANDICAP PARKING....If you worked at a movie house and you can get in any time would you? Would you pay? Lets say there was 5 people waiting to get in... would you cut the line to get ahead? or would you wait? I would wait... I would use my perk when there was 50 people ahead of me... wanna answer the same questions? try being honest .... So your beef isnt that some are creating a saftey hazard, its plain and simple... jealousy... Go out and do something creative or enjoyable with your time and stop sweating what we can or cannot do... If it doesnt hurt you WHO CARES????

#121- Brother what are you saying? this is the best job in the world... you know what you do... why let ungratefull liberals take that away?

#121 & #123- thanks for the support...

I have a habit also. I forget to put change in the meter when I park......OOPS! I'm sorry, I don't do it on purpose, it's just a habit! so I guess te NYPD shouldn't write me a ticket right? Like you said, "A habit is just that... a habit"!

Isn't refreshing how the members of the NYPD think when it comes to thier questionable conduct.

NYC PARKING REGULATIONS:

CODE 40/
DEFINITION/ Parking within 15 feet of a fire hydrant.
FINE-CODE/ A-$115 B-$115

PS: Mr. Police Officer, here is the law and it doesn't say unless your a cop and do it by habit.

Has anyone here thought about the possibility that this information although public could be giving terrorists a blueprint to disguise vehicles to be used against us by duplicating one of these parking plates. Or possibly by using one of your pics with public officials license plates, going to their homes and turning one of their own cars into weapons against us? I know people would like revenge and are bitter but I think people need to think about the consequences of these actions and pictures posted here and realize that the ramifications could cripple the city.

There are already dozens of post of cops in bus stops, hydrants, crosswalks so this entire thread is a red herring. We live by the rule of law not the rule of abuse of power or position. There is pleny of public transportation during normal business hours and plenty of legal spots at odd hours. There is nothing in the NYPD contact that entitles everyone who is in a precinct a parking spot, nor does that even speak of the nonsense that goes on will all placards.

The reason the numbers are high for the NYPD is that they are the greatest abusers, no other reason.

From my standpoint, the comments made by police who think they are above the law, very troubling as I question their ability to uphold the law. SEZ's are a made up convenience, like the fox guarding thehen house.

The moderator asked that all SEZ boundarys be made public, and we are all still waiting. Of course since SEZs are a fabrication of convenience we will never get an answer. We are waiting....

#127. Since you are paying my husbands salary can he get a raise???

#128. I see you have a lot of anger and hostility, you may want to seek help for that.

People, you keep insisting that cops use public transportation. Do you realize this is a free country and we are all given choices. Just because someone chooses something different from what you prefer doesn't give you the right to get all pissy. If I feel like driving, who are you to tell me not to???? Like I said previously, you should waste your time fighting for something worthwhile, this certainly isn't. Let people live their lives and stop trying to control everyone and everything around you. In short, MIND YOUR BUSINESS AND GET A LIFE OF YOUR OWN!

With comments from Brooklyn cop like we do it because we can, no wonder you got the negative feedback. Also the comments inferring that everyine is a rich daddy supported yuppie are very telling as well.

There are many dimensions to the problem of parking abuse and abuse of power. Residents in a community have a right to curbside parking in their neighborhoods. Signs need to mean what they say and day what they mean. The NYPD can go through proper channels if they feel they are entitled to more parking near a precinct. The only legit signs are the red agency specific ones. SEZ'a are a fabrication for convenience and don't exist. If they did Brooklyn cop would be able to show us all of them and he can't. It is all smoke and mirrors.

Brooklyn cop does not have the proper temperament for the job and has a large chip on his shoulder for the world at large.

I would give your husband a pay cut. If he feels like driving he can look for a spot or park in a garage like the rest of us.

Your husband is nothing special. Problem is he thinks he is.

The next time I get pulled over for anything can I just tell the officer that I did it out of habit and be let go? I mean I'm not speeding at 20 miles over the limit on purpose, just out of habit. I'm not smoking weed on the street on purpose but out of habit!

Give me a break!

Follow the laws that you are sworn to uphold. Treat the neighborhood you work in as if it the one you live in. And remember that you are not above the law. You are not the law, you are just a civil servant paid by us civilians to uphold the law.

Now get back to work.

lets see how much of the surplus the mayor says the city has goes to cops? i know what my guess is. if only the police stopped thinking they are above the law maybe they wouldn't be a political liability.

<blockquote>GUESS WHAT?!?!?!?! you are nothing....</blockquote>

Wow... A NYPD cop with a bad attitude on a power trip because he can leave his car wherever he wants while doling out tickets for doing the same.

You don't see a whole lot of that in this city.

His explanation amounts to this:

1. We do what we want, so suck it up and like it.
2. You can't do what you want, so suck it up and like it.
3. We don't get paid enough to do what we want, and we won't suck it up and like it.
4. You're all nothing.

If that's the product of such a superior IQ, you need to go back out, drive your ass around the city and pretend to be enforcing the law while people drive by you on phones and you dribble mustard down your uniform from a hotdog.

You have no more right to park at work than anyone else. If you park in the red signed agency specific spots, fine. The rest is not fine nor is using yoru placard as a free parking pass elsewhere fine. Parking on the sidewalk or hydrants or bus stops is not fine. No one here is posting pics of NYPD in properly designated spots and calling it illegal.

You are contradicting yourself and are a poor liar.

Nonsense. Brooklyn Cop tells us he makes more than his superiors. The only thing a cop protects is his pension.

I do not give a flying squat about the contract negotiations, and certainly that is no reason to take things out by declaring themselves above the law. They knew what they were getting into, a secure job, with good pay and benefits and a great inflated pension.

Do you have any idea how much people make in the home depot or othet sales jobs and how insecure their future is? I suggest you take yoru violin to anothertrain station bucko.

My pension is way better than yours and thats what really burns you. Hmmmm, lets see .....I retire at 40 and I collect about 60K a yr FOR LIFE with free medical and dental FOR LIFE!. Oh and to add insult to injury we get a variable supplement check of 12K a yr too boot on top of that already glorious pension. Now if I were to get injured Id get 3/4s of my salary(80K) TAX FREE.....FOR LIFE. Upon my 40th birthday then I could go furth and get another job as well and supplement that 80 tax free ......OUCH! WOW.......no wonder you hate injured cops as well.

Thank you for paying your taxes and thank you for padding my pension. Guess whay i am doing when I retire....Im getting a federal job and then I will retire at 55 with 2 pensions and then when I finally hit 65 I will collect that social security check.

MY GOD NOW I KNOW WHY YOU YUPPY LATTE DRINKERS HATE US SO MUCH. It burns you that a big chunk of your city/property taxes go to fund our glorious pensions.........Yeah its good to be me right about now.

Time and Time Again I Read Comments from Law Enforcement (Sometimes their Wives) and One thing I Notice is How Many Times the Phrases:
"We Park where we Park, Because we Can"
"We Don't do it on Purpose, Just Out of Habit"
"Mind your own Business"
"Why Should it Bother you what we Do"
"Bleeding Heart Liberals"
"Yuppie Latte Sippers"
"Cop Haters"
"Your Just Jealous"
"We are the Police"
Just to Name a Few. It Seems as Soon as Someone Questions the Actions of Law Enforcement They are Labeled as Such. Why is it so Hard to Comprehend the Fact that Laws are Laws and Should be Obeyed by Everyone. I've Also Noticed How Some Choose to Result in Insulting People about their Spelling Which is Obviously a Last Resort when they Have no Solid Concrete Facts or Opinions to Post.

I Personally Don't Consider it Jealously or Hatred Towards Law Enforcement Just Frustration at the Fact there is to Much Bias Affiliated with these Agencies. Parking in Legitimate Assigned Spaces Set Aside for these Agencies While on Duty is Not a Problem, It's When they Feel they Can Park Wherever they Wish with Impunity While on Duty and Especially Not on Duty. If there is an Issue of Not Enough Spaces then Alternating Days Should be Considered or Perhaps even Car Pooling. Once Again I'll State This Fact, It's Not a "Perk" if it's Illegal!

Now Before I have Somebody (or Their Wife) Respond to this Negatively, Let me Say this. I have Nothing but the Upmost Respect for Law Enforcement Officials Who Obey the Law they are Sworn to Uphold, It's the Ones that have a Superiority Complex Who I Could do Without! I Can't Count the Number of Times I See Police Officers Blatantly Breaking the Law to Benefit Themselves and it's Disgusting. I am far from a Yuppie, I'm a Blue Collar Worker and Have been All my Life! I Don't Need Anyone to tell me How Hard their Job is, Thousands of People Work Physical Jobs Everyday in this City and Manage to do it While Obeying the Law.

You See the Electrician, Plumber, Carpenter, Construction Worker, Steam Fitter, Tin Knocker Etc. Make their way to and From Work Each Day and Night Some by Car but Most by Public Transportation. There they are, Waiting for the Train at Odd Hours, Filthy and Tired Just Waiting to Get Home to There families, So if they Can Do it Everyone Can do it. I'm Not Saying Everyone Should Use Public Transportation, Just Don't use the Excuse of Being Tired and Working Odd Hours to Justify Illegally Parking!!

As Far as Being Jealous of Your Glorious Pension and Medical Plan, I Can Speak for Myself when I say "NOT"! I Happen to Own and Operate a Family Business Which is Very Lucrative. I'm Set for Life as Well as My Children and Grandchildren so Boasting About Money and Medical is Very Trivial to Me. Lets Stick to Facts, Shall we!!!

With that Said, I'm Sure we Will see the Usual Comments on How we Should Mind Our Business, How Much Money You Make and Let the Police Violate Laws Others are Supposed to Obey Simply Because, THEYARETHEPOLICE.

Post #161 ..........This whole site continues to repeat itself over and over,not just the cops

Post#162............ True But, Facts are Facts Not Opinions Correct?

Above the law ur not that post was most excellent and spot on.

Like I said this post has backfired on Brooklyn Cop.

Before I Get any Responses Regarding My Prior Comment I Stated "I Own and Operate a Family Business" as in Previous Comments I Stated "I Work Construction" this is True, it's a Family Business and I Still Bust my A@@ Everyday of the Week. Not to Get into My Personal Life any Further I Just Wanted to Make that Clear Before Anyone Accused Me of Not Being Honest. Those that Might Still Have a Problem, Oh Well.....

If You Say So! I Have Nothing to Gain or Lose! I Know How Many Children & Grandchildren I Have. You have Stated "No one....and I repeat "No One" who owns their own construction business resorts to working with his staff in the pit. How do I know this......................I work construction on the side" Good for You! We are a Family Business and in My Family, No One Gets a Free Ride!! I'm One of the First Ones In and the Last One Out.... Think what You Want, the Bottom Line is Laws are Laws for ALL to Obey.. I Will Not Lose any Sleep Over Your Comments or Speculations... It's Funny how with All the Facts I've Stated the Only thing You Could come up with is to Question My Authenticity!! How Pathetic....

Abovethelawunot over explains everything. That is a sure sign that he is lying.

Correct me if I am wrong but I recall a poster asking him a few construction questions regarding construction site slang that only workers knew and he basically shrugged off all the questions and refused to answer them.

Sorry buddy but your were busted back then and today you were thoroughly owned.

Slump Test

The required Slump Test value may be entered in the ’Slump’ field on a Mix Design Form.

The slump test is the simplest and most commonly used test for workability.

The freshly mixed concrete is packed into a 300 mm (12 in.) high cone, 200 mm (8 in.) wide at the bottom and 100 mm (4 in.) wide at the top, which is open. The concrete is smoothed off level with the top rim of the cone, and the cone is then carefully lifted, so that the concrete is left unsupported. The slump is the distance that the centre of the cone top settles. In a so-called ‘true’ slump test the base of the concrete does not spread excessively. If the concrete collapses or shears to one side the test results will be unreliable.

Although the slump test does not directly measure the work needed to compact the concrete, it gives a reasonable indication of the how easily a mix can be placed and is simple to perform. The test is only suitable for reasonably workable, cohesive mixes. Very stiff mixes do not settle enough for useful measurements to be made and uncohesive mixes tend to shear or collapse. A slump of less than 25 mm (1 in.) indicates a stiff concrete and a slump of more than 125 mm (5 in.) indicates a very runny concrete.

It seems that this site is very focused on the cops and second the firefighters. Yet nobody looks into those people who double park their cars in front of the grocery store and run in for a "couple" of items leaving their kids in a running car. NOW THAT'S A VIOLATION!!! How bout you try that!

People double park in my neighborhood because the cops are parked all day at the meters. Trucks double park because cops are parked in the truck loading and unloading zones.

This site is not focissed on cops, it just turns out that they are the biggest scofflaws and violators and isnlt it ironic. Seems the cops are disingenuous & self-serving.

What are the numbers on the home page. 150 NYPD violations? You are anti law enforcement the numbers prove it.

Oh and IE and most other browsers have spell checks now usually you just have to right click on the misspelled word (the word with the red line under it) and click on the properly spelled word.

focissed = Focussed

No simply the police are the biggest violators. We can't post what doesn't exist. The pictures are clear and real.

so if its not ok for justin volpe to plunger attack someone......but according to the police its ok for them to park illegally......

and they make a distinction between a felony (justin volpe's attack)
and a violation (illegal parking)

my question is simple....

if a parking violation is no big deal, especially compared to a felony...

then why does the city write millions of parking violations to new yorkers every year?

Money thats why. Duh you freaking idiot!!!

It seems that this site is very focused on the cops and second the firefighters. Yet nobody looks into those people who double park their cars in front of the grocery store and run in for a "couple" of items leaving their kids in a running car. NOW THAT'S A VIOLATION!!! How bout you try that!

the police already do a good job of ticketing people who do that, now if that person is a cop then they get a pass. the second part of the sentence is the problem. do you get it now?

my question is simple....

if a parking violation is no big deal, especially compared to a felony...

then why does the city write millions of parking violations to new yorkers every year?

For the last time, the NYPD does not enforce the law against its own. It is a courtesy that we extend everyone who works on our job. I stress the "OUR" because the civilian populace is not part of our brotherhood.

The reason that millions of summonses are written is so that the city can fill its coffers. We might the summonses but I assure you that we do not get a % of that money. Bloomburg is the one behind the raised fines and the meter prices. This greedy little man is the one to blame for taking your money. All the NYPD does is write 20% of the summonses generated on any particular day.

All I can say is, better you than me paying the summonses and making Bloomburg richer.

:)

bklyn1cop Says "WOW evryone else is attacking abovethelawurnot go figure... HEY guys see the skell named serpico? hes next... hey abovethelaw... I told you you would be outed...."

I Wrote a Response (Comment #171) to a Poster Who Claimed I Failed to Answer a Question About a Construction Slang Some Time in the Past. I Replied than as I did Last Night, that Question Could be Answered By Anyone who Could Google and therefore Doesn't Prove Anything! For Some Reason the Explanation was Removed Yet, I Used no Insults or Foul Language. I take that as a Personal Insult that Somebody Would Remove my Response to Someone Who Questions my Livelihood, for that I'm Done!!

As for Bklyncop1, I Don't Fully Agree with you but I Least I Showed you Courtesy, Professionalism and Respect! and for the Record I was not "outed" I Could have Just as easily Accused You of being "bklyncop's wife" as well as "bklyncop1" but, I Chose to Stick to Facts and Valid Points.

To Both Sides of these Issues let me Say this, God Bless You and Your Families. I Wish no Harm to any of You.

1) if the cops do not enforce the law against other cops, then why did justin volpe get arrested for the plunger attack and not get a free pass?

2) if the public and the police dept agree that parking tickets are not about public safety but rather about revenue, then why dont we stop this parking ticket blitz.It is an outrage that the city is involved in parking ticket racketeering.We should fight to change the laws and make the system fair for eveyone.I am not saying that some people dont deserve tickets.It is the system of predatory ticketing that I am against.

3) Since the law prohibits cops from going on strike, I suggest the cops perform a "slowdown" to protest the unfair salary they are given.It is ridiculous for the city to expect cops to risk their lives for a starting salary of 25k. The cops should protest by refusing to write parking tickets until the city gets the message.

To everyone.......

NYC is an extremely expensive place to live, even if you are one of the highly paid civil servants. I consider priviliged parking a benefit. This is a very good move on the city's part because that benefit costs the city nothing to provide it. That benefit should extend to free NYC mass transit to all city workers. This also costs the city virtually nothing.

The whole goal here is to stop funding Middle East and Texas oil barons. Look at their excesses! You brag about glorious pensions. They are diddlysqaut compared to what those people enjoy. Because of oil we have a stunted foreign policy and a lousy war which has no objective and no end.

People, please use mass transit if you can. When you spend a dollar on mass transit it goes to local coffers. Where does a dollar spend on gasoline go to? An oil baron's yacht, a Texas millionaire's trip to Vegas, Iranian research into the latest and greatest nucler weapon, etc...

Years ago if you had free parking and an enery efficint car it was in fact cheaper to drive to work than to take the subway. Many Long Island residents who do not have to pay a toll drove to NYC daily. The tables, though, have turned. I always felt it was a better trip to work taking a train or a bus but I thought about driving when gas was cheap. When I moved to Orange County in 1999 gas was .87 per gallon in NJ. That was way cheaper than taking the bus. Now gas is 2.83 in NJ and 3.23 in NY. Tolls doubled. Whay do you mean you say? Well, guess what, the Tappan Zee bridge used to be 1.00 for those on the commuter plan, now it is 2.00, quite a stealthy toll increase. Add this all up and I gave up driving to work.

As said before, by driving to work you fund people who really hate NY.

The privileged parking benefit should not extend to the following.....
- blocking a fire hydrant rendering it useless
- blocking a crosswalk
- blocking a bus stop
- blocking a lane intended for driving
- blocking an intersection

Everybody who has a job gets benefits. Even a dishwasher at a restaurant gets free food and beer. I did that for a while and let me tell you.....I ate meals that some yuppie would have paid $25.00 for! That benefit is part of my compensation package. That benefit did cost the owner a few dollars. Privileged parking costs the city NOTHING!!!!!

Sorry folks.....forgot to add another non-tolerable benefit of privileged parking..

- parking at a meter

Good arrest everyone who takes pictures of sensitive locations. Without our emergency services we are defenseless against these idiots. I think we should support out emergency services and public officials and not belittle them like you do.

BRING BACK POST 35!!!!!!

An article in the NY Post says the following: MIKE TARGETS PARKING PERK The growing abuse of government issued vehicle placards has finally gotten the attention of the one person whom privileged parkers have to fear: Mayor Bloomberg. Bloomberg said municipal workers "shouldn't be treated any differently than somebody working in the private sector," except for those in emergency roles. Article by David Seifman 05/09/07

arrest people for photographing police committing crimes. it would be good for our cause to get national attention. lets get the justice department involved. lets see how the police like being sued into poverty. any cop who arrest some one for this should be personally sued. take every thing he owns and will ever own. lets see if arresting people who photograph police committing crimes stands up as constitutional. from what i understand the pba pays for the lawyers in these cases. if enough law suits come up it will bankrupt them.

WOW EVERYONE LOOK!!!!!! # 193 #194 #196 #197 someone trained a monkey to use copy and paste...

keyspanguy... i agree with what you said. about where it is acceptable and where it is not...

the article is 2 paragraphs. Says nothing and means nothing. this site has touched on more iissues than that article, who is david Seifman any way? a friend of TA?

i know i won the contest...i just posted the pics and my 02. cents just now lets see if the moderator does the right thing ...and oh yeah im really bookemdanno..but they wouldnt lemme post under my name so i had to get a nom-de-plume....alias at yer service...and oh yeah this time the culrit in the pics aint the nypd...its sanitation!!

What pictures have you posted ALIAS? this site isnt doing the contest I am...

HEY PEOPLE NEW CONTEST COMING SOON!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

bklyncop1,
David Seifman is the City Hall Bureau Chief at the Post. Pretty senior guy there.

These mugshots are in house photos that were captured on an NYPD surveillance cameraand as a result are not to be shared with the general public because the individual on the poster is not wanted for a crime but instead for questioning. The Mug shot serves as a reminder to us to be vigilant for certain people who are up to no good. "Steve" has stirred the hornet's nest and due to current events has called attention to himself. The brass wants to know why this fellow is taking pictures of police facilities under the guise of taking pictures of cars. In 2 of his photos posted here one can clearly see that his motives were not to take pictures of the cars but instead of the buildings themselves. "Steve" might very well be dealing in police facility photos and supplying the terrorists with the means to attack us. For this reason alone he is wanted for questioning by the NYPD and most likely Homeland Security.

To all cops who frequent this site please be warned that it is being monitored thanks in part to the Fort Dix incident and "Steve's" sudden appearance at numerous precincts.

This is not over by a long shot and I would not be surprised if the site owner's server isn't supenaed to determine "Steve's" IP address and true identity.

TO BE CONTINUED.

I have alerted internal affairs about the unlawful and threatening comments left here by police officers.

When you cant win a debate, you run and tell on us... need a diaper change?

What debate, bklycop1? Do you seriously think that these kinds of threats are reasonable from any perspective?

Let me put on my "I am a cop who hates Uncivilservants.org" hat for a second. If my goal is to "get" Steve for taking pictures of vital and strategic national facilities such as the 23rd precinct, does it make even the slightest sliver of sense to brag about or encourage this activity ON THIS WEBSITE? Because if something does happen to Steve or any of us, even in the improbable case where the officer in question is acting in good faith, it's going to be tied back to the threats here. You've essentially insulated him (and the rest of us) by guaranteeing disciplinary action and massive negative publicity if any MOS does more than politely ask a few questions of someone taking pictures for this site.

Why do you think we haven't deleted these threats? It's because they are so profoundly damaging to your cause that we are rubbing our hands with glee. They may be vile and inappropriate, but this is outweighed by the benefit they confer on us.

bklycop1, you make good points from time to time, and seem to be coherent and rational pretty much all the time, and I can't imagine that you think this approach is even remotely wise.

And as for why Steve hasn't posted -- who knows? I know why I haven't posted recently, which is because like everyone else who contributes to this site (including, of course, yourself), I have a life and a day job and this is something I do when I have the time.

Salguod... First of all, I never threatened anybody with any police action by taking pictures in front of pcts. that was the cops from the pct. in question.
second...My only threat was if someone took a picture of my car with my family members inside... Thats where I draw the line. You can all take pictures of all vehicles parked around the city but ... DONT LET IT COMPROMISE THE SAFTEY OF OTHERS. We cleared the problem up when I first started to write on this site. Licence plate numbers not to be shown. Any threats made by "officers" on this site are usually anonymous, which leads me to believe that people are just talking out of thier a$$'s to start some kind of feud by posting garbage, and to see how far they can go. I myself recieved a rude E-mail from SERPICO. He is pro TA and pro uncivil servants... I laughed and sent back a rude message to him and ended it with " HAVE A NICE DAY" Thats my style, I'll let people know what I'm posting. I've never written anything bad or threatfull to anyone unprovoked. If for a minute you think that most of the stuff I type is out of anger , you are wrong. I never attacked Steve (recently :-) ). I think it was a good picture but not for this site. I am hopefull he will post more pictures so I can trash them not him. This is America free speech and free parking :-) Till later,

Didn't mean to suggest you were making threats, it just sounded like you were defending the people who were making threats (which the previous poster said he reported to IAB). I must have misunderstood, or maybe some other post got deleted in there, since I agree that the current round of threat makers are "talking out of their a$$'s" -- we're in violent agreement on that. :-)

My comment about IAB was simple. This is a forum, we discuss topics, debate issues and tolerate idiots. They come from both sides. Calling IAB and complaining about something on this site is a waste of time and money.Thats what I meant (in a sarcastic manner)

What we see in the photo is a Caucasian man using flash photography in broad daylight in order to take pictures of the commanding & executive officer's cars. This is not a run of the mill guy taking pictures of pigeons on the street, oh no. This guy took a detailed picture of the side entrance of this police facility and then hammed it up as if the garbage pen was parked illegally. Was this a secret message to the terrorists to attack this weak point in a precinct defenses? Trust me when I say that the powers that be running the N.Y.P.D gave the green light to print out these posters and address all the commands about Steve. The Police Department does not car about random photos taken in front of a precinct but they do care when the photographer is taking pictures geared at finding a weakness ina precincts security. Obviously the recent developments with the terrorists trying to attack army bases and new your precincts plays a huge part in their decision to get more information on this individual(Steve). I find it quite amusing that the moderators and a few of the usual posters assume that the N.Y.P.D or the FBI9Home land Security) care about their civil rights in dire times like these. They usually act 1st and worry later. History has proven this via the Patriot Act. In Steve's case he has called attention to himself in a big way and I hope for his and the moderators sakes that no precinct is attack in the near future because the good name of the TA will be tarnished for a long time to come.

While you call these words threats I choose to call them the truth. These are the steps that the police department is taking to assure its personnel's safety. Call IAB all you want because the will only tell you that they are on it and change the subject by asking "by the way do you know who Steve is"?

Oh BTW, it is the terroristic actions of Steve that will undermine this site and its moderator(s). I have made copies of all the pertinent pictures and following responses by the moderators who have actively condoned if not steered Steve's actions. Time and time again they have proven how anti- establishment they are by posting pictures of cop's plates and pictures of sensitive police facilities. I would not be surprised of this site did not play a part in the Fort Dix caper. I have nothing to fear because it is not me who thinks that Steve is a threat. It is the N.Y.P.D and now Homeland Security(sent them an extended email and a link to Steve's photo graphical contributions to the terrorists movement) who are aware of Steve's threatening behavior. I can sleep well at night knowing that I did my part to keep this country safe. I am sure it is Steve who is losing much sleep and for good reason.

God bless the UNITED STATES OF AMERICA and the members of the N.Y.P.D

#228- wanna send me a pic for Flatbush?

Why would you be afraid of internal affairs unless you did something wrong???

Saturday morning we are going to stake out the 70th precinct on Lawrence ave in Brooklyn.The precinct is between different buildings for handicapped and cerebal palsy residents.And the police routinely block the entire sidewalks with their personal vehicles, forcing those in wheelchairs to be wheeled in the streets.What an absolute disgrace.

If the precinct is between those buildings that would make it a self enforcment zone. Doesnt that mean thats where the police can park?

#228. thank you for reporting this person to the authoriTies. I too always suSpected something unpatriotic about him. Hopefully the people behind the Patriot Act will expose any future terrorist plots that this person was hatching against the N.Y.P.D.

Everyone whould cut and paste STEVE'S pictures and send them to the Homeland Security people. It is our duty to report anything suspicious that we see.

#238, I am way ahead of you. I forwarded the links to Steve's pages to the Homeland Security report page 2 days ago. I too found something strange about his pictures. Why was he reporting illegally parked barriers and then photographing the captains entrance to the precinct. Was there a subliminal message being broad casted?
I hope these pictures and their posters are investigated.

I have someone in the civilian complaint review board who is willing to investigate and take action against gross misconduct and abuses of authority by police officers parking their private vehicles improperly and creating public safety hazzards.

He said that when you see a police officer's vehicle improperly parked, to photograph the vehicle and the license plate number.Then dial 311 to file the report and you will be assigned a case number and told where to send your photo evidence.

He said that if a police officer gets 3 complaints within 1 year,the nypd will place that officer on probation in the Performance Monitoring System.

The investigator guarantees that if a police officer is written up twice he will be extremely careful to avoid the 3rd.Because.... 3 strikes your out!

we could all park ultra-legally, but then that would be less spots for you. You could consider it a benefit for yourself, as well. But as for now, I will be going around the pct. and tagging any car without a placard parked within our "NYPD Vehicles Only" DOT official signs, and then have them towed. All bicycles chained to fences, trees, sign posts and light poles will be seized and vouchered, all bicyclists riding on the sidewalk or otherwise disregarding the NYS VTL will be summarily summonsed or arrested. Those inside NYC Parks disobeying the regulations regarding benches, restricted areas, skateboarding, etc. will be summonsed or arrested, without discretion. Those crossing against the lights, crossing signals, and in the middle or the street or down the street itself will be summonsed or arrested, without discretion. Those attempting to interfere with any of the above mentioned police actions, such as attempting to disrupt the issuance of a summons or the arrest of an individual will be summarily arrested and charge with the appropriate statute. I will act in absolute, discretion-free, strict accordance with the NYS Penal Law, Business Law, and Vehicle/Traffic Law. Hey, this is what you wanted. I will start in Greenwich Village.

CCRBSUX... so do you... if you cant win a debate you go and cry... bullied alot as a kid? yep, poor creature...

hey 240 go knock yourself out you coward cry baby! ccrb is a joke, everyone knows this! why not do something construct and come up with An alternative parking solution instead of whining? and when you find yourself becoming a victim of a crime dont be surprised if cops are not there in time! you will most likely make a boo hoo complaint to big scary ccrb because the cops were late coming to your emergency because people like you dont understand why it is a public safety issue to make sure cops have proper parking so they can be in a police car responding to emergencies not driving in circles looking for a spot in their private cars!

Bklyncop, if you want to bring to light bike violations, BY ALL MEANS START YOUR OWN SITE. You keep talking about 'agendas' and whatnot, what's wrong with that? You have your own agenda, quite obvious from your venomous posts directed at everyone BUT police, we can have whatever agendas we want within the law. The simple fact is that if citizens choose to publicize illegal acts in hopes of some response bettering the quality of life in this city, you have NO right to threaten us in any way for this.
