Hey IamEntitled,

You've got to be careful--those SSAR vehicles are equipped with lasers that vaporize anyone near them at the push of a button on the key fob! Plus all members of the SSAR Junior League are electronically notified and speed to the scene instantly once the chief presses that red button! The SSAR's mission is so important and top secret, their vehicles are equipped with those and other top secret devices!

What an idiot trying to scare you away with the alarm.

is it illegal to park on a sunday

No Standing Except Loading/Unloading ( MON thru FRI ) 7:00 am to 6:00 pm

i saw this car on sunday jan 6 and i did not see no prb with it

FIRST OF ALL HOW DO YOU KNOW HE ISN'T RESPONDING TO AN EMERGENCY? YOU DON'T KNOW THAT. HOW DO YOU KNOW HE ISN'T ON OFFICIAL BUSINESS? YOU DON'T KNOW THAT EITHER!!!

If you call 911 on them for parking on a meter with a placard, I pray to god the officers assigned the job arrive and put you in jail for filing a false report. That is not an emergency. Don't take up a 911 operator for your selfish concerns. I'm sure you have seen the bumper sticker signs by now: Call 311 for citywide services. Call 911 for EMERGENCIES.

i have seen this car parked illeagal in brooklyn.. i will try to upload a pic..

@ cheekycheekyman

where in brookyn did you see it ?
maybe he was on an emergency! how do you know it wasn't an emrgency?

Dragonman and 911, don't you get it? There is no such state agency, unit or entity thing as "SSAR." Some idiot invented it as a way to sell these phony placards. This is a particularly pernicious forgery because it uses the state seal. You two are as credulous as the TEA when it comes to these bogus permits. No wonder we're in trouble!

Mr. 911:

this car was parked at a bus stop on bedford ave and south 8 street in brooklyn...

@ cheekycheekyman

but how do you know it wasn't an emrgency?

BicyclesOnly, No, You don't get it. These people made their own organization, it has no affiliation with the State. IT does not say New York State anywhere on it (and the seal is not the real thing, just an artists representation, if you look close, you'll notice that there are probably elements missing from it). The owner of this organization named it SSAR, he can name his organization almost anything he wants. It's not a fake permit, it's a private plaque made by and for his organization. It holds no real weight in the street, however, I bet his car has VAS plates, and most cops won't wite any "offical" plate, inculding VAS.

cuz i saw him walk into a nearby supermarket...

14', let me see if I have this straight . . .

You agree this purportedly "statewide" organization has no affiliation with the state . . .

You agree that the seal is a facsimile of the NY State seal but is an obvious forgery . . .

You agree the plaque "holds no real weight ont he street" . . . .

But you say "its not a fake permit" and you think this guy is doing nothing wrong based on your completely unsupported hunch that this guy has VAS plates?

Yeah, I'm convinced. Let's give this guy a pass, let him park anywhere he wants.

BicyclesOnly, read what I said again, and stop jumping to conclusions.

The first part of your statement is all correct. His organization is not state affiliated, the seal is not a state seal, and it has no real weight as far as parking goes. (And what I mean by that is, cops probably would/should not think this is a real permit, again, if someone is legitimatly confused, more training would help clear up the confusion.) This is not a fake permit, it's just a scrap of paper he made for his window.

The next part is where you make your mistake. I never said this guy was not doing anything wrong. However, I offered a reason that maybe he didn't get a ticket. I'm 99% sure the vehicle has VAS plates. Thats probably why a cop didn't write the ticket, not because of this stupid paper in the window. I never said he should get a pass to park where he wants. Infact, I wish he would get tickets. But, he's politically connected, and not until those connections are broken, will his car get tickets.

14', if I'm 20 years old and I print up a fake driver's license with a fake New York state seal on it, bring it to the deli and show it to the guy while trying to buy a six-pack, is that just a "scrap of paper I made up" to show to people? No. It's a deliberate forgery of an official state document that I am using to deceive others and to circumvent the law.

You seem to be trying to play both sides of the fence, 14'. On the one hand you protest "I never said this guy was not doing anything worng." On the other, you refuse to call a fraud a fraud. The point of this "scrap of paper" in the post that you refuse to denounce as a fraud is to either trick or intimidate the TEA into not enforcing the law against this guy. That's clearly worse than the hypothetical example I describe above of trying to trick a deli counterman into selling a 20 year old beer with a fake license. In my book, this SSAR crap (whoops, sorry, "scrap") is a serious fraud intended to directly interfere with law enforcement that calls for serious punishment.

Let's see if the Bloomberg adminsitration has the balls to do it on March 1.

BicyclesOnly, Your making one huge error is your analogy. When you say that you would make a "fake driver's license with a fake New York state seal on it" I'm assuming you're saying one that LOOKS EXACTLY LIKE a real NYS drivers licence. That would be illegal.

However, if the kid in your story made a laminated peice of paper, with a made up agency, a slogan that says "this card is good enough to drive with in any state", and/or threw on a cool official looking holigram of the state outline on it, he hasn't done much wrong. That card would obviously not be a State issued Drivers Licence, much like these scraps of paper are not permits. (However, an ID is a little different, as it falls under laws of "false personation" and otherthings, but I hope you understand my point.)

These scraps of paper in the window are A) Not copys of real things, just look kinda like them (any actual copy, WOULD be a fake). B) Aren't being used correctly, even if they were real (unlike your beer example, which is a PROPER use of ID had it been a real drivers licence). C) Not illegal.

this car does NOT have VAS plates...all he got is the fake permit and a red light on the dash......plus his remote to scare away photographers.....

VAS plates or not, his permit is still not fake.
