The beige minivan represents a jackpot of chronic placard and official car abuse. Let's tick through the problems.

1) Parking in a crosswalk AND striped no-parking zone (for 12 hours a night).
2) Abuse of an "Official" Vehicle (as plated) for personal purposes - parking at home after business hours.
3) Abuse of placard to be used by someone engaged in "agency business."
4) Misuse of incorrect placard -- placard is for a different vehicle. The motorist decided to switch to the minivan this evening, but based on the given plate info is still using the placard for a black Impala shown in earlier posting (see links below).

Will NYPD ever enforce even the most obvious of these chronic violations? At a minimum, a car left overnight in a crosswalk should be towed, whether it has a placard or not.

I've been reporting on this for years now.
