USPS traffic crime #2

Observed by lawandorder on Fri, Jan 30 2009

Parked illegally, and almost certainly committing insurance fraud too -- this truck has been parked outside the post office here every day for years with North Carolina plates. Oh, and they parked this truck on the sidewalk too!

As has been explained to you numerous times, since there is no agency rider listed on the sign, then NO, supposed USPS employess may NOT park there.

If you say so Lawandorder. Did he/she get a ticket? I'll answer that for you. NO. So I guess they can park there.

Funny how you deem this vehicle engaging in insurance fraud when you have absolutely no proof that it is uninsured. Either way it does not matter because any self respecting traffic agent would not ticket a vehicle inside a federal Self Enforcement Zone. The Postal Police enforce their own. There are much bigger fish to fry outside a postal parking zones. Courtesy would most definately be extended. I would just move on to the next car whose owner would and could afford the summons.

It boggles the mind how some individuals just refuse to think rationally. So if I were to follow your train of thought then my car that is legally registered/insured in NY is not legal at all if parked in the great state of North Carolina. No matter how long it is used and parked in another state one must remember that it is legally registered and insured in another state. If your rational were true then every out of state car in NY is commiting insurance fraud. Will envious wonders ever cease? Bottom line is that the poster has no credible proof that this car is not insured. Might I suggest he try talking about matters that he actually knows about and understand. It would also help is he supplied some actual evidence for a change instead of plucking information out of thin air. Sorry but his proof for calling this vehicle uninsured is totally ridiculous ERGO - He DOES NOT KNOW WHAT HE IS TALKING ABOUT.

Fuss, I live in the area, so I see this car every day. This person obviously does not drive from NC to work at the post office every day. They are committing insurance fraud. Pretty common in NYC if you pay attention.

Even I know that cars from other states are legally insured in their state of origin. To say that the car is committing insurance fraud solely based on the fact that you see it parked there once and a while is totally ridiculous. By your logic then the postal trucks, which have no license plates are illegal as well and committing insurance fraud. When you get some fact based proof then feel free to chime in.

Antwon, i dont really have the time to correct your consistent and willfull misreading of the facts, but 1) this is a private vehicle, 2) it is parked here every day, 3) this has been the case for well over a year. so really, when you know the facts, then you can chime in, 'coz I'm chiming out.

greetings all posters pro and con.... I'd like to point out on the insurance fraud issue, that as long as the owner of the vehicle maintains a residence in N.C. he is not committing insurance fraud per se, although he/she is most definitely exploiting a loophole in the insurance laws. I had this issue rise personally when I was stationed out-of-state and lived in VA while my veh was registered/insured in NY. At worst the insurance company has the biggest complaint but no VTL violation along this line.

I wonder when he will provide a sliver of proof beyond his gutt feeling that this car is engaged in insurance fraud. I highly doubt that he will deliver.

Alsivi: "The car is being used for years in NYC with out of state license plates. ERGO - FRAUD". So if I am a firefighter in Harlem and live in New Jersey and have NEW JERSEY plates because I LIVE there PERMANENTLY, I am committing insurance fraud? I must be because I "use my car to drive and park in NYC for years with out of state plates." Sorry, but your logic really frustrates me. I'm in disbelief that you actually pressed the enter button on that post. You must have realized how absurd it was afterwards.

I am still awaiting the actual proof that makes this car owner a suspect of insurance fraud. I guess the proof will never materialize especially when there is none. The car from another state is perfectly and legally parked within its self enforcement area. The driver is extended professional courtesy based on his placard. Why harass the poor postal worker when in fact he is trying to do his best to get the mail to the populace of this ungreatful city. I am curious, when did it suddenly become hip to attack federal workers? Oh I know, when it suddenly dawned on the detracters of this site that it was a losing battle to try to label professional courtesy a crime. Carry on, there is nothing to see here.
