Not NYPD please stop blaiming NYPD for everything. can't you read NYS police it is not hard to read New York State and not NEW YORk CITY.

REMOVE
This is not a violation.
This pass is valid at meters.
Like it or not this post should be remove!

not NYPD.....
right at the top----STATE OF NEW YORK...so must be executive or judicial placard.......

could be a judge.

looks like executive branch placard from the state of new york....not NYPD as per the post.........

either way, this pass is completely legit at a meter.......

i think judges get those placards. not nypd.

I fixed the Agency - now it's NYSP instead of NYPD. Thanks for pointing that out #1.

It's not that we blame NYPD for every infraction on this site. It's just that:
1) They are the agency responsible for enforcing the VTL and other relevant laws
2) They seem to be the biggest offender of parking law violations, thus they show up more on the site.

does this say judicial or executive branch, the picture is not clear.

First of all, the placard is apparently valid at meters.

Second of all, Transportation Alternatives: THANK YOU FOR BEING NEW YORK CITY'S CYBER METER MAIDS, albeit armed with faux indignity rather than actual summonses. The mayor is undoubtedly pleased at the free work you are doing for ths city's bottom line.

Third, how does being wrong and petty about meter enforcement contribute towards your mission to get the average New Yorker to bike to work or take Mass Transit?

If anything, you'd want the police to take every conceivable spot in the city with their plaques, leaving no choice for people but to commute by other means due to the intolerable aituation this would produce.

Your campaign seems to be disorganized, poorly run and ill-planned.

Note: Provided it is enforced fairly, I like this new policy of posting only after review. The internet should be about freedom, but anonymity without a moderator yields freedom for our worst impulses. Perhaps this will produce a more civilized debate. I may have to reconsider my previous comment that this is not a well-run endeavor. There is no need to post this comment itself.

what official business is the car on for the memorial day weekend? it is a violation of the terms of the permit.

#2, 5, 8 10, what is basis for conclusion that placard is valid at expired meters?

Steve, the chart under "Is this permit legal?" says that a New York State Police Plaque can park at 1 and 2 hour parking (aka meters) if "On Official Business". Putting the plaque in the window is how you state you are on official business, so using your chart, and the rules of the plaque, this parking is legal, and should be taken down. Thanks.

#14 Sorry, but storing your private car at a meter continuously does not constitute "Offical Business".

I'm making one of these for myself!

however it is not OUR business to ascertain whether he/she is on OFFICIAL BUSINESS.

For your edification, judges get the same placard but this purple ring reads Judicial Branch, Executive branch is for state police. (Of course all the staffers (and political BJ's) get these from both branches.)

#15, If he is at work then he is on "Official Business", be it his private car or not. He is legally parked, end of story, this pic should be removed.

The judge here has an NYPD card, unrestricted. He uses it to double park while dropping his laundry.

Although some what conservative in his judicial demeanor, he seems somewhat honest and appreciates my efforts to actually do what I learned in church, instead of just talking the talk, so I leave him alone.

What SP or court facility is at 4th and 1st Ave in the Village anyway?

#18, the illegal parking on this site is not "perks," it's corruption. I don't want any part of it.

#14, 15, 20, sesnyc says parked here "all the time," but more detail is required to determine whether this guy is on the job or not. Would appreciate view of Admin on whether parking all day in connection with 9-5 job is parking on "official business" within meaning of placard, tho I am leaning toward #20's view.

It's not the perks, it's the corruption. Nobody's trying to take from the "deserving"

#17 Officer Krupke: I dare you to create a parking permit for yourself. Read this article and then rethink what you said: All five defendants will be charged with Criminal Possession of a Forged Instrument in the Second
Degree, a D felony. If convicted, they face up to seven years in jail. The investigation is continuing and more
charges may be filed.

"DOI began its investigation after receiving a complaint that employees who were not normally issued
parking permits displayed Department of Transportation Business Parking Permits on the dashboards of their
cars. DOI conducted sweeps of cars parked at a DHS maintenance facility at 260 Eleventh Avenue and a DHS
Men=s Homeless Shelter at 430 East 30th Street, both in Manhattan, said Commissioner Gill Hearn.

Investigators determined that Louis Rivera, a DHS Community Assistant, and Samuel Ogunleye, a
Tri-Star Security Guard, used a counterfeited DOT Business Parking Permits to illegally obtain free parking for
their own vehicles while they were assigned to the Eleventh Avenue maintenance facility. The investigation
revealed that Rivera used an authentic DOT parking permit issued to DHS as a model to create the counterfeit
permit, which featured the license plate number for his privately owned car but retained the original permit=s
serial number. Ogunleye=s counterfeit permit was similar: It featured the same permit serial number but
contained his own car=s license plate number. Both fake permits had expired in December 2001 and lacked the
colored logos featured on legitimate permits. During the sweep, investigators also found that Rivera illegally
possessed a pair of handcuffs and a business card that falsely purported that he was a NYPD "Special" Officer.

While conducting its review at the DHS Men=s Homeless Shelter, DOI investigators discovered that
Anna M. Camareno, Special Officer; Derric C. James, Special Officer; and George L. Williams, Motor Vehicle
Operator, were using fraudulent NYPD Restricted Parking Permits that were designed to look like authentic
parking permits from the 13th and 9th Precincts. The fake permit featured misspellings.

FYI: IF YOU HAVE KNOWLEDGE OF SOMEBODY CREATING A FAKE PARKING PLACARD THEN REPORT IT TO THE DEPARTMENT OF INESTIGATION. NYPD RESTRICTED PLAQUES ARE NOT REPORTABLE BECAUSE THEY ARE LEGITIMATELY ISSUED.

If this is a judge, wouldnt it make sense to make a new catagory under judge?

This is not an NYSP placard. Check your sample placards.

they change the placard design every year.
