How do you know he is not a postal employee?

Dragon, one clue is that this car has out of state plates. If this employee lives and works in the city, he should have NYS plates.

(However, I will admit that this is not a direct indicator, because he could have borrowed the car of an out of state family member who is visiting. We don't know the specifics.)

14FeetAway I work for post office and I work with a lot of people who have out of state plates. They have legal residences in other states. I don't believe that there is a law against that.

Dragon, it is against the law. Your vehicle is supposed to be registered in the state of your MAIN residence. That residence is probably the one you live that when you are at work. (or atleast the one you live at a majority of the time.)

Just because someone owns 2 houses does not mean they can register the car at the cheaper insurance house, and use it at their other MAIN residence. (This is insurance fraud, which there are plenty of laws agaisnt.)

This guy has CT license plates. I would go out on a limb here and say he lives there since CT, depending what part you live, is pretty close to NYC....

How is it against the law. I can make my main residence in another state and work in another state. I work with people who make their residence in PA and work in Brooklyn.

Exactly, Dragonman. Thanks for pointing that out 14Feet. USPS POV's make other placard holders look bad. NYPD personal vehicles must be registered in New York State. Dragon, your fellow employees give placard holders a bad rap and also should not have out of state plates because they get cheaper insurance and then I have to pay more. If this guy lives in Connecticut, tell him to take Metro-North. He isn't a LEO where he has odd hours and has no idea if he'll have OT at any given point. The post office closes and he goes home. Tell him to take the train.

I guess you've never heard of commuting.

I'm not sure what the recidency requiremnets of the USPS are, but I'm pretty sure out of state plates are no good. I know city employees are required to live in NYC or the surrounding counties. I still say the CT plate is no good.

WillNYC most post offices close and they go home. But not at a General Mail Facility. They are open 24/7 365 days a year. We have 3 tours. We get called for overtime Just like the NYPD. The facility I work in is in East New York. I wouldn't take the mta in broad day light in that area. As for the residency requirements we don't have any. Like I've said in my previous post, I work with people who live in PA and work in Brooklyn. They travel 1 1/2 to 2 hrs a day back and forth. Some of them stay with family during the week and go home on their days off. I don't see that as being against the law. Many years ago people would get busted for insurance fraud but that was when there was enough officers to check if that person lived where he said he did.
