I see nothing wrong with this individual's actions as long as he displays a valid parking permit. Just because he is not within his designated parking area does not mean that I or any other law enforcement agent has to summons him/her. It is called courtesy and it is extended out of respect for fellow law enforcement personel.

I agree, why not allow this court officer to enjoy his movie or dinner without worrying about feeding the meter. Surely he has done enough to keep this city and it's citizens safe. Why can't these residents of this city be more thankful and less envious. This is mind boggling.

"why not allow this court officer to enjoy his movie or dinner without worrying about feeding the meter"

Simple - it is illegal and perhaps even dangerous. It is corrosive to the integrity of the entire NYPD organization, as well as, the Court.

Tag it and report the co-conspirators.

Antwon and Fuss they don't care what service you give to the citizens. They only care about how you park.

Hiyall, why would I want to summons this auto and report the motorist? Did you not read my above post? Obviously a fellow traffic agent or NYPD officer already saw fit to grant this court officer professional courtesy. Like so many other times, the car is marked in a manner that we as fellow workers can only see and no one else will bother with the car. It is the nature of the beast and it is upto the individual agent or officer to determine when and if courtesy should be extended. In this case the motorist had the right (legit) credentials and the free pass was granted. If this were an illegal act then the city would make it illegal to grant any form of professional courtesy. As you can see this is not the case.

Your inaction to enforce the laws and ordinances of the city, state and country is already illegal. You lack the integrity or fitness to do your job by your own admission. Eventually, you will be outed. I just hope that your lack of fitness and integrity does not harm some innocent first.

Auto is illegal - tag it and report the co-conspirators.

"Your inaction to enforce the laws and ordinances of the city, state and country is already illegal."

Who are you kidding Hiyall? You need to get off your high horse and provide us with actual written law that says that professional courtesy is illegal. I assure you that my job is not in any sort of peril and I fear no ramifications by posting my opinions. My I.P address is he for all to see and that is just how sure I am that my actions are not illegal in any way shape or form. The law is on my side on this point and as an employee of the great city of N.Y we are trained to extend professional courtesies when need be. I will make one thing clear though. My actions by no means hurt or put anyone in danger. In fact my actions help the working man by sparing them a fine. Your gross exaggerations of the truth are mind boggling, Hiyall and yet you practice your trade of deceit without offering up one shred of proof. You should be ashamed.

Auto is legal - Warn/admonish and extend professional courtesy.

Amendment XIV

Section 1. All persons born or naturalized in the United States, and subject to the jurisdiction thereof, are citizens of the United States and of the state wherein they reside. No state shall make or enforce any law which shall abridge the privileges or immunities of citizens of the United States; nor shall any state deprive any person of life, liberty, or property, without due process of law; nor deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws.

Section 2. Representatives shall be apportioned among the several states according to their respective numbers, counting the whole number of persons in each state, excluding Indians not taxed. But when the right to vote at any election for the choice of electors for President and Vice President of the United States, Representatives in Congress, the executive and judicial officers of a state, or the members of the legislature thereof, is denied to any of the male inhabitants of such state, being twenty-one years of age, and citizens of the United States, or in any way abridged, except for participation in rebellion, or other crime, the basis of representation therein shall be reduced in the proportion which the number of such male citizens shall bear to the whole number of male citizens twenty-one years of age in such state.

Section 3. No person shall be a Senator or Representative in Congress, or elector of President and Vice President, or hold any office, civil or military, under the United States, or under any state, who, having previously taken an oath, as a member of Congress, or as an officer of the United States, or as a member of any state legislature, or as an executive or judicial officer of any state, to support the Constitution of the United States, shall have engaged in insurrection or rebellion against the same, or given aid or comfort to the enemies thereof. But Congress may by a vote of two-thirds of each House, remove such disability.

Section 4. The validity of the public debt of the United States, authorized by law, including debts incurred for payment of pensions and bounties for services in suppressing insurrection or rebellion, shall not be questioned. But neither the United States nor any state shall assume or pay any debt or obligation incurred in aid of insurrection or rebellion against the United States, or any claim for the loss or emancipation of any slave; but all such debts, obligations and claims shall be held illegal and void.

Section 5. The Congress shall have power to enforce, by appropriate legislation, the provisions of this article.

To start with, your policy of not enforcing laws for your protected groups (e.g. PBA members, city employees, etc) is a violation of the 14th amendment of the U.S. Constitution's equal protection clause.

It is arguably also in violation of the "Extortion under color of official right" clause of the "The Hobbs Act".

Not being a lawyer, there could be more statue and constitutional issues with your behavior related to biased, selective enforcement practices.

Hiyall you still haven't shown where it is against the law to show professional courtesy. All you wrote was a lot of mumbo jumbo.

ARE YOU FOR REAL Hiyall? Please tell me that you have more proof than this. Just I suspected.
No proof will ever be displayed because there is none.

Yep, I am real. Come park illegally in our neighborhood and you may find your auto posted here and other spots as well.

Hiyall, I already mentioned that I occassionally work your little stretch of paradise and when I park my car I throw my NYPD issued placard on the dash and report to work. Sometimes after work I cant find parking at the Georgia Diner and I park at the meter. Yes I throw my placard on the dash and guess what? I NEVER EVER HAVE RECEIVED A SUMMONS FOR AN EXPIRED METER. Better yet, I am envious of the other motorists making this site. Please, please come take a picture of my car. Being that you are the self annointed protector of the triangle of death that you constantly post about that you know where the diner is located. I hope to see your snazzy camera flashes soon and my image posted on this site.

You usually need to park somewhere other than an expired meter to get my attention. I am interested in mitigating public safety issues and often ignore expired metered violations. It is not professional courtesy - if the merchants do not care or the residents you displace do not care, I am ok ignoring this. If, as you say, you are familiar with my neighborhood, then you know where to park illegally to catch my eye and get posted here.
