Another example of illegal "overflow" parking by NYPD placard holders near the Columbus Circle NYPD parking lot. Numerous empty parking spaces lie to the south, but those are reserved for the "top brass." So this fellow (ironically, with an NYPD Transit Bureau placard) parks in the bus stop, forcing bus patrons to embark and disembark in the middle of the street instead of at the curb (and creating an additional hazard for bicyclists in the bike lane). While this NYPD placard holder parks his personal vehicle illegally with impunity, the placard-less chump in the beige sedan behind him got a ticket.
