I saw this today on E 45th, between 2nd and third ave in front of the Amish market and had a good laugh with another guy. Why does a court person have a permit to park their porsche on the street......isn't the mere fact that this person is driving an $80,000 plus car enough to ask why they get to park for free? And....if that's how much we are paying our public servants, it's no wonder the city is broke.

NYPD parks illegally to shop next to school, 2 malls and in midst of merging traffic.
This is location of an injury accident with one of the contributing factors being the safety risks of parked cars here.

Here come the judges - and their cars.

What was billed as a temporary compromise over judicial parking in park around Borough Hall angered Brooklynites when dozens of judges moved their cars from the south side to the north side Thursday.

"We are outraged. This is a public plaza. Why can't the judges use the curb spaces they already have?" said Judy Stanton, executive director of the Brooklyn Heights Association. "We used to walk through this plaza; now we have to walk around it."

The judges were parked Thursday on a landscaped plaza complete with benches next to the popular farmer's market.

The move was prompted after city Parks Department officials and judges worked out what they called a compromise that required what they say will be two months of construction.

Downtown residents have complained for years about judges stowing their cars in Columbus Park next to Borough Hall. The issue came to a head last spring when judges threatened to sue and park advocates protested.

The compromise allows the judges to keep the parking lot inside Columbus Park but requires them to move off the walkway. Two months of construction forced the judges to be moved to the other side of the plaza surrounding Borough Hall and the old Supreme Court building.

"It's really another example of the judges given an inch and taking a mile," said Wiley Norvell of Transportation Alternatives, which has been battling the judges. "We're not happy with the compromise. It's highly suspect."

This fella puts a clip on id for Volunteers Involved in Public Safety from Minnesota on dash. No problem says 110th, park all day and no summons from us. We are very proficient at allowing folks to break the law. We wouldn't want to get an ink stain on our finger.

Illegally parked to play soccer at High School - next to school, 2 malls and in midst of merging traffic.

Oh, btw, word is out about the web site, a neighbor and cop is now yelling "Rat" at me from across the street. So pathetic - crooked cops in denial.

OCCB - part of the NYPD organization to park illegally - follows through by parking illegally next to school, 2 malls and between merging traffic. Oh and don't forget the blind spot created by the vehicle at a location where a woman was injured 12/24/2006 due in part to just such blind spots created by illegal parkers.

You may have seen the official looking placards on some car dashboards. Many of them seem to scare ticket writers away. But wait until you see what Fox 5's John Deutzman found out went he checked out just one of those suspicious signs. Watch his investigation.

Mismatch of license number between car and placard. Not allowed to park where safety hazard is created. Just selfishness and narcissism at work here.
Next to school, 2 malls and between merging traffic.
Woman was struck down by auto here 12/24/2006 - blind spots by illegally parked cars contributed to the accident.

Endangers the very public they swore to protect and serve. This one only cares about serving themself. No integrity - No character - No honor. Anyone who will do this will lie/cheat at the drop of a hat.

Next to a school, 2 malls and in middle of merging traffic.

Lack of integrity trumps consideration for the public they swear to protect and serve. Endangering kids at school, shoppers at mall and residents of neighborhood - just to avoid a small parking fee or walk from legal parking

Driver drove past this spot by 1/2 block then slammed on his brakes and backed up at pretty good speed to illegally park here. Last minute impulse to break law for personal convenience and shopping.

[moderator's note: Permit issued to SCO Family Services, 1 Alexander Place, Glen Cove, NY 11542

Corruption just keeps spreading.

Is contempt for the laws and ordinances that one is sworn to uphold - a job requirement?

Our tax dollars buy them fancy cars, fancy clothes and they repay us by breaking the law to shop. One would think that it would not be too difficult to obey parking laws. Such cheapskates and selfish folks that endanger others just so they don't have to pay a few dollars for parking.

People who engage in this sort of thing have real integrity and character issues.

Cop from 115th visits 110th to break the law and shop - putting residents, students and visitors alike in increased danger.

Uses a 71st precinct self enforcement placard to escape a summons for parking in "No Parking Anytime" (soon to be "No Standing Anytime") zone - adjacent to school, 2 malls and where a woman was struck down by an auto whose driver didn't see her due to illegally parked cars.

A Manhattan postal worker has been charged with cranking out and selling phony parking placards and credentials for high-profile sporting events - a troubling security breach.

Officials from the NFL, NHL, NBA and Major League Baseball were alerted after cops busted Jerome Knauer, 43, yesterday and seized a trove of bogus but realistic access tags.

Knauer, a nerdy bachelor who co-workers nicknamed "Sleepy" for his habit of sleeping on the job, used his home computer to create the documents, cops said.

"He looks like a bum, but he paints like a maestro," said a law enforcement source who saw some of the fakes.

A mail sorter at the Lenox Hill Station postal facility on the upper East Side, Knauer drew the focus of investigators after complaints about phony NYPD parking placards cropped up.

One of the placards - which allow cops to park in off-limits zones - had the markings of Queens' 115th Precinct, where Detective Joseph Trovato began a probe.

Apparently, the gym at the Atlas Park shopping center in Glendale, Queens is a favorite amongst the NYPD. You have to pay $3 to park in the mall's parking garage. So they park on the street, in a "no standing anytime" zone instead. They never get ticketed because of professional courtesy and they block the bus from pulling over into a special cutout.

For this one, the plate number on the permit does not match the plate number on the car!

lots of jokers parking as they please here

Pretty common site. This driver has moved from parking in front of hydrants and in no parking zones, to parking in the bus stop across the street. This fraudster has now affixed several pins to his fake federal law enforcement placard -- how cute.

The geniuses at 311 marked down my complaint as an "illegal bus layover". Of course, the 9th precinct said they didn't find anything in violation, without even bothering to leave the precinct house.

... cause this person can't read streets signs, nor "their" permit.

Public school teachers have had most of their golden parking passes pulled - but private schools with city-sanctioned parking spots have been left untouched by Mayor Michael Bloomberg's effort to unclog city streets.

At least a dozen swanky private Manhattan schools, from elementary schools to colleges, have "faculty vehicles only" zones designated in front of their buildings, a Post survey found.

The perks apply across the board, to religious and secular schools, with eight spots each going to: Regis, one of the top Catholic high schools in the city; the Ramaz School, an Upper East Side Jewish elementary school; and the secular Columbia Grammar and Preparatory School.

It's unclear if the city has any plans to reduce or eliminate such zones for private educators. Their public school counterparts will have their city-issued parking placards slashed 80 percent as of Oct. 1 - with the number reduced from 63,390 to 11,150.

The mayor should be applauded for the cuts, said advocacy group Transportation Alternatives, but the private school handouts are unjustified.

This happens daily on Stockholm Street between St. Nicholas and Cypress Avenues in Brooklyn. The person who owns this vehicle uses the hydrant as their own private parking space, believing the invalid permit they have in the window gives them immunity from punishment. The placard belongs to someone working in the NYPD's Housing P.S.A #9 which is on Jewel Avenue in Flushing, Queens. Total disregard for fire safety on display.

This 2007 Honda not only is parked too close to the fire hydrant, but also has a placard belonging to an officer at the 30th Precinct in Manhattan, which is nowhere close to this spot near the Brooklyn-Queens border. It also has a film over the rear license plate to evade red light cameras, so it's possible that parking violations aren't all the driver is guilty of. The 104th Precinct frequently drives through the area, stops to look at this car parked illegally, sees the placard and keeps driving while others get tickets for being parked further away from the johnnypump.

This was and still is a chronic condition.

Today I won.

It can be done, you just have to want to do it enough.

By DAVID SEIFMAN, City Hall Bureau Chief

Mayor Bloomberg yanked more than 80 percent of the school system's parking permits, but officials never examined the actual allotment of reserved spaces - and that's left some schools still with a generous supply of spots, despite their proximity to mass transit.

The most visible case in point - if only because it's two blocks from the mayor's home on the Upper East Side - is PS 6 at 45 E. 81st St. off Madison Avenue.

Records released by the mayor's office show the highly rated elementary school has 23 parking spaces for 54 teachers and 13 other employees.

But it's not clear why any teacher needs to commute by car when the No. 6 line, where the mayor himself is a frequent passenger, is only a few blocks away at Lexington Avenue and East 77th Street.

Looks like they need a task force on how to operate their cars legally.

This winner also likes to park in bus stops:
http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/5011

mismatch in license plate. this is a chronic problem with this car in this location. since 311 calls are ineffective, the next step will be to call the USPS Office of Inspector General.

One of those DoE teacher permits that the UFT claims is never abused, here seen being used to park illegally.

These types of permits will be invalid in a month, and only a greatly reduced number of DoT-issed permits will be valid for DoE employees to use. It will be interesting to see how that plays out.
