Telephone DOT, I do and they tag the nypd permit cars!

please post the phone number of dot

No Standing means exactly that! It does not state no standing unless your the Mighty NYPD! Someone needs to grow up! Why is it jealousy to want everyone to obey the law especially those whos job it is to enforce them. It's time to start doing your job without Bias....

#3 Hehe, no, believe me, I'm not in any way jealous.

Yeah, well I come out at night in areas cops are afraid to go and I can see in the daylight that this guy is parked in a no standing zone and is in the way.

The reason for the zone is constructrion, and cars have to use the parking lane for traffic and here's one of Kelly's Heros blocking the road because he's too selfish to find legit parking, because who's going to make him?

Just think, if you join the police, you, too can do this. And it's not like you're making more than $25,100 with whatever you're doing these days anyway. Plus you'll be making a measurable contribution to the quality of life in the city, and not just engaging in acts of street whining.

As a member of the revolutionary proletariat, I am pleased that my comrades in the employ of the State are seizing the priveleges of class normally conferred only to the bourgeois members of the Republic of Manhattan.

Gone are the days where only white Manhattan houselholds with a median income of $284,000 a year can enjoy the conveniences of transport by privately-owned automobile.

In a groundswell of direct action, these blue collar workers are leading the way to a better future for everyday men and women everywhere! Unite behind them in their quest to let the Escalade-driving Wall Street societal rapists know that even a modest city worker can drive about in the Republic!

"From each according to his ability, to each according to his need..."

this photo is like a game called lets find the violation. if you look closely in the picture there are many violations. there are illegal newspaper boxes affixed to the city sign. there is an illegal self standing sign outside the store on the right. finally I see a bike affixed to a meter just ahead. you posted a pic of a half of car which we cant see if the person is inside or not. maybe he was just waiting for the back hoe to move so he can park at the first meter. he could be a rookie and part of his past criminal record he had to do community service and he is doing grafitti removal on the white building. I wouldn't display a permit on ave A that is still a pretty bad area. I remember when I was a kid there were so many vacant lots down that area that the reminants of a none herion community took over the lots and made a community garden. do they still have the gated gardens. those were the good old days, hells angels, herion everywhere, i remember my mom saying when you walk to school don't take anything from anyone. prostitutes walked freely doing the herion shuffle. everyone was robbed or wittnessed a serious crime at least once. but what hasn't changed most people down there never where fond of the police.

#13 - I can assure that the driver of the car was not present, that the car was there for most of the day, and that this driver continually parks illegally in this and other spots. He was not waiting for the back hoe to move.

The bike affixed to the meter is not illegal either.

It sounds like you haven't been to Avenue A in a while. Definitely not a "bad area" anymore. Sure, you might still see a few people on heroin, but it's definitely not like it used to be. Yup, there are still community gardens.

#10 - The No Standing zone is not there for construction. It has been there for as long as I can remember, perhaps in order to allow buses to turn from the bus stop around the corner on 14th St. There is a similar No Standing across Avenue A where this guy also parks illegally. He also parks at unpaid meters and does not move for street cleaning, which is unfortunate, since because of the bars, Avenue A needs all the cleaning it can get.

Let this be said: cops who park their own cars in bus stops and over hydrants using their precinct placards are low-class, arrogant menaces to society who need to be towed. If they can find a NSAT or meter or SEZ spot to put a car that is safe and unobstructive, I don't mind at all.

Every profession has its formal perks and its informal ones. Transportation Alternatives activists get to have coitus with easy, saucy liberal girls (and guys)who are impressed with their activism, bankers get to live in the Hamptons, communists and socialists with Ph.D.s can get a job at any third-teir college in the Northeast, and cops can park more easily than the rest of us. This is life.

Focus this page on three violations only, and you will win respect: hydrands, bus stops, and sidewalk parking outside of self-enforcement zones. Cops will not have a leg to stand on in these cases. Otherwise, you're all being pretty petty.

And cops: name calling and bandying the "liberal" word around makes you look foolish. Try to speak to the people here as if they were a misled child on the street about to fall victim to the gang culture, and you have to change their mind about it. You'd be surprised what this can accomplish.

Hey LawandOrder, who says that chaining the bikes on the meter is not illegal? Well...for your information...it is illegal........as same as chaining the bikes to the gates of other people's property. The meters are the NYC property....same as the lightpoles, signage poles. The NYC has the power to clip your chain and take your bike. but....do the NYC enforce that.....no the city don't. Go look it up on the internet and tell me i am wrong.

Comment #16 contains glimmers of rational thought, so it stands out from the bunch and deserves to be taken seriously, unlike 99% of the apparent LE commentary on this site. There is a general distinction to be drawn between the blocking of bus stops and hydrants (I would also include curb-cuts and crosswalks in this category) on the one hand, and violation based on signage, meters or other traffic rules, on the other. I think this site tries to makes the distinction with its automatically generated "safety hazard" label. However the generalization does not always apply; I and others have posted triple parking situations that probably present as much danger and inconvenience as some bus-stop parking. So all the posts should be allowed, but rational minds will recognize that there are meaningful distinctions.

As for #16's comment about every job having its formal and informal perks, it seems we are getting more jealousy-driven fantasy here than reality. Let's deal with reality: people with jobs in offices often steal office supplies for personal use. Many of them view it as a perk of employment. If cops steal office supplies from their precincts, that doesn't bother me.

But the streets do not belong to the Police Department or even (strictly speaking) to the City; they are held by the City for the benefit of the entire public. When a public employee takes control of the streets or the sidewalk by illegally parking a personally-owned vehicle, the "perk" they are taking is the "perk" of breaking laws they are supposed to be enforcing with impunity. The use of the "perk" relies on the no-hit policy among TEA and others with summons authority under which there is tacit agreement not to enforce the laws against public employees. What you got is a corrupt system across agencies and even across city, state and federal government to systematically not enforce the law against public employees. The costs of the system is borne by the public at large, not just the particular public employer of the illegal parker. The costs include not only the danger, inconvenience and disrespect from the illegal parking by the public employees, but that from the illegal parking by the fraudulent permit holders who get away with their fraud because of the no-hit policy put in place to protect the public employees. The widespread, public, systematic non-enforcement of the laws relating to public streets necessarily engenders concern among ordinary citizens that the parking laws are not the only ones that are being systematically broken with the tacit approval of law enforcement personnel.

The most comparable example I can think of from the private sector is the recent case where Marilee Jones, the Dean of Admissions at M.I.T, was forced to resign when it was revealed she lied to get her job. We all know that Jones would not have been fired for stealing pencils, but when the integrity of her core job function was comprised, she was history. The systematic violation and non-enforcement of the law among public employees for their mutual benefit, at the public's expenses, inspires the same kind of disgust that led to Jones' getting sacked.

the same thing would happen if the bankers #16 talks about were embezzling the private funds placed in their hands by clients; they would get canned and jailed. If your beef is that bankers get paid more than the apparent value of their work to society, maybe you are right. You should join up with #12. But you should also be subject to summons for acts of "revolutionary expropriation" of the street space. Do it as an employee of the state and it makes you a Stalinist thug, not a revolutionary.

Where are the pictures of police facilities, Steve? Hmmmmmmmm, judging from your current IP address it seems that you are logging in from another location. What a brave man you are.

Homeland Security is aware of your suspicious activities, Steve. You are officially now on their radar.

Have a nice day.

Yet another anti establishment diatribe posted by Steve. He is quickly cementing his image as NYC's most wanted. His moronic dribble is peppered with hints of threats toward the folk in Law Enforcement. Let us all cut and past it and send it the the Homeland Security Site. Together we can make a change and guarantee that Steve will not aid the terrorists any longer.

If you see something, say something.

I am loving this. Steve is laying law and refraining from posting trivial pictures. He posts once a day and then he changes locations.

He is running scared as well he should be.

Knock knock.................Who is at the door?................your future Steve. Lol

Come back soon Steve.....We miss you.

#18 - Thanks for the compliments. I have several cops in my family, and have great respect for the profession. I'm not a liberal either, not that there's anything wrong with that.

No standing so the bus can turn, NOT No standing except Kelly's Heroes.

We are the owners of the magical parking permits which covers our cars with a magical shield that prevents us from getting a summons. If you want one then join the NYPD if not then go get your shine box. LOL.

You actually expected the TEA (basically the police) enforce the law on another police officer's vehicle in New York City? You've got to be kiddin'! The police get to ignore the law when and where they want to. They get to not enforce the laws they were sworn to uphold when and where they want to.

#27 better start getting used to reality because your magical shield is soon going to Fizzle away!!

well the reality is that the ticket will never happen so get used to that

#37 Thats because this site has not been around for 18 years... We shall see!

Update - my parker was out again last night, illegally parked across the street in another No Standing Zone. I didn't get a chance to snap a photo. He moved at around 8:30 this morning, to his credit.
