Hey what's he doing taking the spot the van is usually in?!

LOL - seriously! I also enjoy when I have to yell at the bus driver of the B61 to make the stop between State and Schemerhorn on Smith - I haven't seen that stop not parked up with cars since construction began on The Smith two years ago.

How come all of these State St pictures are on page one when there older than some others???????

Also - looks like this guy has raked up $680 in tickets - why hasn't it been towed yet? Hmmm....

#4--maybe his placard has something to do with it? He must have just forgotten it a few times, and was so used to parking wherever he pleased he couldn't bring himself to actually look for a parking space.

#3 - entries are posted in order of date of posting, not date of violation.

Regarding #3, I've just started posting a huge backlog of pictures, that's why I'm all over page 1. I have well over 100 incidents left to post that will be coming up on the site in the next few weeks.

j on state-better take it slow or you'll crash the server

Never block a crosswalk, bus stop, or hydrant... I have no sympathy for this officer.

That being said, I still have a problem publishing the plates of these private vehicles. It is not needed to ID the vehicles to the Agencies in question, and you can be sure IAB is looking at this site on a daily basis. All that is needed is the permit number for the agency to ID and discipline the individuals in question.

All that posting plates is going to do is ID officer's to the public... and not all of the public is law abiding and just looking to correct traffic and parking conditions. Some are looking to do officers harm.

FYI, I've seen PO's personal cars towed from self enforcement zones for unpaid parking fines (twice in the last 4 years). NYC Sheriff doesn't show much discretion. I suspect this officer didn't display a 2007 permit, as plates are run for outstanding fines before a permit will be issued for the current year. Fines must be paid and up to date before the permit will be issued.

Is it me or are the reverse lights on? WAIT is someone actually in the car??? oh My God!!! is he parking? or is he just about to run you over for publishing his plates on the internet? if that was my car... you'd be able to tell me if I have a oil leak....

why dont you people show some respect and get a fucking life!

^^^^^You must be talking about the cops^^^^

Yes, the cops do need to show some respect for the neighborhod they work in.

As for getting a life, perhaps if they read a book while commuting to work on mass transit, their lives would be more fulfilled.

oiseau, your comment is laughable. Telling someone to read a book or something so thier life would be more fulfilled, but you run around taking pics of parked cars. Talk about a lack of fulfillment. I think i'll pass on listening to what you have to say.

Hi again oiseau, mass transit is for 9-5 ers thats not what we do. maybe if you check the neighborhood first before you move in you would know your amck in the middle of a huge law enforcment area.... what did you expect to find in that area??? puchcarts selling flowers and anti death penalty buttons? move back to whatever hick town you originated from...

Fulfillment is found in different ways. SOme like to read books (and are able to do so), some liek to run aroound taking pictures of parked cars (I have yet to do this), some like to think that they can park wherever they like because they are above the law.

To each his own.

And some like to protect and serve the people in this city. And what do they get in return? People who have WAY TOO MUCH time on thier hands snapping pics and posting them on a web site. (or better yet admitting that they don't take the pics, just make stupid comments). But worse yet, the people who go out day after day and do a thankless job, still get up in the morning and do it all over again, despite the silly comments made and the beliefs held by guys like oiseau.

That's right, and I get up everyday and go to work despite the rude and disrespectful attitude of the NYPD.

Oh, and give me a break about it being a thankless job. You ghet to retire after 20 years with a full pension, ebnough already. That is plenty of thanks.

Read all the books you want, you'll still be clueless...
take all the pictures you want, we'll still park wherever we can, to protect you.
we are not above the law, but we do get perks... would you complain about bill gates getting discounts on computers or the conveince store owner who brings home a gallon of milk without paying full price??? Yeah you would...

Aren’t all of these pictures that you have posted either adjacent to, or across the street from, the Brooklyn Criminal Court? Isn’t this where theses vehicles are supposed to park? Do you believe that these vehicles should not be parked outside the criminal court? Where should police vans transporting prisoners park? Should they look for parking ten blocks away from the criminal court, and escort shackled prisoners through “your precious” neighborhood? What kind of complaints would that generate to 311?

It is not lost on some of us that the Department of Education at 110 Livingston has been sold to private developers. Do you think there’re spending all that money on renovating it to make affordable housing for the types of blue collar people who work in this area? Do workers have any rights in your eyes? Or is it only the landed gentry such as j_on_state?

Here’s an idea for all you rich up and coming types who are clearly spearheading this drive against the civil SERVANTS, who do your business, why don’t you do like the developers who have purchased 110 Livingston from the city have done, and use your money to purchase all of the city-owned buildings in the area, and move out the government agencies all together (where they would go is anyone’s guess), that way everyone by the “former” criminal court could chase out the “down-trodden”, and make this area “more acceptable” to the new development model.

You people move into municipal civic centers that have been where they are for decades, and then you complain that there are a lot of municipal vehicles around? Does that make any sense?

Did you people consider that before your forced the previous residents (who didn’t complain) out, to buy or rent all of these lovely brownstones you so recently have discovered?

Its like moving next to the sanitation land fill, and then complaining about the smell and high volume of city owned garbage trucks, or moving next to a nuclear power plant, and then joining a protest to ban the very reactors that were there before you even moved in. Or, you could just not move near the “nuisance”. But no, you have to be close to work, so you could easily take your mass transit the 10 to 15 minutes that it takes you to commute from downtown Brooklyn to Manhattan.

I wonder what kind of complaining is going to happen when the Department of Corrections re-opens the Brooklyn House of detention. The complaints to 311 will be “there are some many criminals over here. Its not safe for me and little Jimmy”, “why are all these people standing on Atlantic avenue making noise? Oh, there waiting to see criminals, we have to put a stop to that! Call the Mayor.

Here is another sign of cops arrogance: "mass transit is for 9 - 5 ers" No, you most likely work three shift 12 - 8am, 8am - 4pm and 4p - midnight. There is not one shift that you can not take mass transit to work. Why should I have to check a neighborhood to see if there are rude, disrespectful arrogant morons working in a police station nearby before I move into it?

I was born and raised in NYC idiot, so why don't you move to downsouth where your gun-toting flag flying redneck brethren awaits you!

and when you delete this post, delete #13

Bklyncop you make no sense. Your rational is that of a schoolyard bully.
You don't protect me, I protect myself - from the likes of criminals and cops alike.

As for the store owner and Bill Gates, no I don't get mad because those things are their property! Sidewalks, crosswalks, etc. are not the police's property. You are sworn to uphold the law! What? You're so pathetic you can't do your own job?

Oh and yeah. you get perks? Like retiring after 20 years with full benefits paid for by me and others who you insult and abuse with your disrespect.

when you delete this ^^^ post, delete #15, I'm only replying.

oiseau,
always paranoid... poor creature, If you were to walk in my shoes for one day... you'd stay hidden in that little world of yours with your pet goldfish... go out find a friend.. village voice has ads for people like you.

based on your postings, you sound like a perp....u wouldn't by chance live in flatbush or east new york...would u????

I'll keep my whereabouts private, thank you, because there is nothing more vindictive than an arrogant cop. Maybe, bklyncop1, if you had graduated from high School you wouldn't be in the position you are now? Of course you and your vapid wife are most likely procreating like rabbits thus dumbing-down the rest of this country.

Get this fact jack - it is people like you who give the USA a bad name in the eyes of the world. Oh but what do you care about what anyone else thinks? You're too wrapped up in your arrogance and false pride to give a shit.

Pathetic.

delete #20 when you delete this

oiseau, It is very apparent you had your lunch money taken from you often as a child, it shows in your angry posts. You should not speak ill of bklyncop1's wife as he has not insulted you or your boyfriend. Next time you visit your therapist ask him to help you explore why you have such problems with authority. Is it what your daddy did to you at night when you were little? is that the source of your rage? Whatever the reason, you taking photo's of parked cars will not help you. Maybe you should read a book then tell everyone how smart you are.

When you delete this, delete #21. What the heck delete everything by oiseau.

Mike,

I used to live in this neighborhood.

I lived on the 3rd floor of a walk-up.

I am not rich. Just another guy trying to make a buck and live life.

Cops and court personnel and the traffic congestion they contributed to with all of their illegal parking make life a living hell all around Downtown Brooklyn.

The sick thing is that every subway in the city and every bus line in Brooklyn runs through this neighborhood. At least half of these illegal parkers could be taking transit into Downtown Brooklyn.

I actually had to move thanks, in part, to you guys.

So save the gentrification shtick for another time. You're hurting regular New Yorkers with your illegal parking and your unnecessary driving. You're breaking the law. It's got nothing to do with luxury condos. So quit trying to change the topic.

There was an article years ago about J in one of the papers bitching and moaning how the NYSJ spots in front of her brownstone were taking up precious space that could be used by her personal vehicle and others on her block on State Street.
Now that the parking regs changed, she wants it all. Apparently when J moved into the area (in the mid 80's) the area was a depressed sh--hole. Drugs, homeless, abandoned buildings, etc. You couldnt give these crumbling buildings away. I am sure she appreciated the LE presence during those years but now, the court buildings have become an eyesore to her.
Her happy day is when the eyesore that is 120 Schermerhorn is closed and the Criminal court building moves to E. NY or Canarsie.

Here's an idea: Try and obey the laws that you are sworn to uphold.

Never swore to uphold a thing, i had my fingers crossed :)

i keep seeing people saying that on this site you are id'ing police cars for people to do them harm ... logic would dictate once people put plaques in the car they id' the car them self do u really think somone one is going to walk around to these locations and do something ??? if someone is that stupid then they can just walk around the city without the help of this site and see the plaques for them self i mean seriously ... use your brain some ""bad guy" is going to log on the internet find this site and go to each location ?? give me and yourself and everyone else on this site a break... it would be just as easy to just randomly roam the city streets !!!! this site is not going to get anyone thats a "badguy" to go out and do anything and if they do they will get caught and locked up because if they are stupid enough and petty enough to do something and use this site then i am sure they are dumb enough to get caught. its not like anyone can get on here and get all the cops info and go there... for that matter if a "badguy" had a problem with a cop unless they allready know what the cop drives in which case i am sure they know the cops plate and locations allready how would they know whos car is who???? only dot and people with those computers and access would know that and its not like they are going to enforce this anyway.. funny thing though i bet they would send someone a ticket if a citizen caught someone parking illegally someone should try that out just to see what happens. take a picture of their car parked illegally and send it in see if they get a ticket.. then report the results to the news

I am new to this site and am quite surprised by what seems to be automatic and prepared responses from posters that claim to be/or are police officers. I will be posting due to chronic blocking of the corner curb cuts (ramps) by official and private cars outside the 68th precinct. Unfortunately I need these ramps as I can only travel via electric scooter as I am bilaterally crippled. When the ramps are blocked, I need to negotiate my way outside of the crosswalk. Not a bad thing if you can walk or run. Very bad for those of us who cannot.

I hope the officers that are trolling these postings understand that commenting in retrospect and offering a multitude of scenarios of how the photo may not be as described is a cheap and easy way of NOT addressing the issue.
Let me ask; are you on city (our) time while trolling and thinking up clever though pointless replies?
I'll be expecting a mean-spirited response.
