So, let me get this straight...

This placard does not have the identifying information filled out, but the officers of the Five-Two didn't notice the placard was blank? Maybe they didn't notice that there was a vehicle parked right, directly below the NO PARKING ANYTIME sign. Right on the awkward island in the middle of traffic?

I know! Maybe nobody drove down the Grand Concourse all day?

Yeah... there really is no explanation, and no excuse!
