Wow Kojak, you solved yet another amazing parking violation! Please tell me how this car is doing anything dangerous. It seems to me it's a jelousy thing, just because civilians can't park there. I say, re-sign the whole area into 24/7 parking for everyone... Problem solved, no more complaints!

Oh, and why no mention of the SEV behind this car? You guys arn't being selective and only targeting cops cars again, are you?

Perp?

Oh puhlease!!!

But honestly what difference does it make that he covered up the placard number of a union issued placard? If anyone REALLY needed to figure out who he was, his license plates are on the car, presumably, and his registration sticker is affixed to the windshield. How long would it take to figure it out? Perhaps a civilian would have a hard time figuring it out, but even with the placard number, if you called the Court Officer's union and gave the number to them, they would NEVER disclose the name of the owner. So I just don't see what difference it makes that he covered up the number. Please don't respond and say that I am justifying his parking there. All I am talking about is that you're labeling him as a "perp" because he blocked the plaque number. What effect does that have on you at all?

Seems like a real lame attack to me.... yes it is a literal violation of posted signs, but itisn't creating a serious safety issue.As to this so-called blind spot, PEDESTRIANS have a responsibility (believe it or not) to not jaywalk out from a blind spot thus getting struck by a car.

Will, I've said the same thing many times. I hardly ever argue that the parking of these vehicles is correct, but I do argue all the time about all the other petty things this website picks to argue about. The permit number covered, or the permit being upside down, etc... None of it has any real effect on anything, but they just want to find everything they can find to blame cops on something...

I am labelling the driver a perp because she illegally parked, thus break the law, thus a perp.

hiyall do you cross at the cross walk? If not then your are a perp too!!!

You can think of me as a perp, if it pleases you - just remember where is your proof?

In the meantime, if you park illegally in that dangerous spot and I happen to pass your car when I have my camera, then you will likely find its image on this website.

14feet, come on dude. we all know that these folks try to make it harder to ticket them by covering up permit #s, putting them upside-down, etc. it's obvious that they know what they're doing is wrong. and btw, I am not trying to blame everything on cops. I just want civil servants to obey the law they are sworn to uphold, and not to crap on my community. that so hard? its elitist arrogance, that's what it is.

Hoodwatch, The permit has NOTHING to do with issuing a summons, or taking any other enforcement action against the car, permit or not.
And as for obeying the law, can you make the City obey the Taylor Law and pay cops fairly too? Isn't that illegal too?
And please don't speak to me about elitist arrogance. No one is more arrogant then civilians. Everytime they are cought it's "do you know who I am? Who I know? I'll have your badge..." etc... All because cops are just doing their jobs... Phone calls fly, and the COP GETS IN TROUBLE for taking police action on something the civilian did in the first place! Fix THAT double standard, then come back and talk to me about parking...

Neighborhoodwatch, the permits' digits are not needed to summons the car, just the plate on the car and an ICO who is enforcing the rules. And for HIYALL: if ya jaywalk in front of me , I won't take a photo, I'll just write ya the summons.

hiyall: I'll take an illegal picture of you as you keep taking illegal pictures of cars. That'll be my proof.

Putting a permit upside or blocking the number does not make it more difficult to issue a summons. Upside down, rightside up, covered with something...regardless...it's still probably not getting a summons.

I would think that stalking and personally attacking someone from a certain group of people could be construed as a "perp" move. I remember someone who continued to take pictures of a person's POV when they asked the person to stop. He even went as far as to take a picture of the driver w/o the driver's permission. And why is it that the picture-taker only concentrates on a specific spot? Could it be that person has a personal stake? And what happened to the handicapped van??? What happened to the police report??? Anyone??? Anyone??? Beuller??? Beuller???

A summons may be a good idea. It would provide exposure of the institutionalized corruption within the NYPD - willful non enforcement of laws to benefit PBA members including themselves. Seems a seed morass to even a casual observer.

HIYALL , you state this permit was issued to a court officer. Therefore it would be a court officer abusing his priveleges. I see you can't help but attack the cops/PBA re:"institutionalized corruption within the NYPD"... when a courtesy is extended to a COURT OFFICER , not a cop/PBA member.

Hmmm - let's see - who issues the courtesy - NYPD, therefore it's institutionalized corruption within the NYPD. It is policy to "not ticket" those with placards or PBA cards, therefore it's institutionalized. The fact that it is giving a pass to those who blatantly break the law makes it corruption.

It is not "policy" or "corruption" or whatever else you want to call it... It is a courtesy given to other city employees, well within the bounds of using discression when issuing a ticket for a violation...

It is institutional corruption and the reward is the quid pro quo.
