What is he doing that is not leagal?

^^^^haha

1. I'd bet using a car cover on your vehicle on public raods is not legal.

2. He's monopolizing the spot. Obviously, a person could not park there for weeks at a time and a person wouldn't have the same spot for over a year, unless of course that person is cop who has no respect for the law.

Frank,
Please keep from the digs like the end of this post. We're trying to keep comments somewhat civil on the site. This photo makes me upset, but I'm not going to generalize about a "cop who has no respect for the law."

We have the same situation on Union Avenue and Metropolitan Avenue directly across from the diner, someones car with PD pass since last November, silver car.

What is he violating-alternate side/street sweeping regs???

I am sorry efficient streets but this is simply outrageous and this cop not only has no respect for what he is supposed to represent, but he has no respect for the people he is supposed to serve as well as the community in general.

You CAN use a car cover in this city as long as the plates are visible as well as the registration and inspection stickers.

update on #9:
NYC Traffic Rules: 4-08j(8)
Vehicle covers prohibited. No person shall stand or park a vehicle having a cover on it that obscures the make, color, vin, license plates and/or registration and inspection stickers, and/or restricts entry to the vehicle, if such vehicle is standing or parked in violation of posted rules.

What rule is this car violating?????

This is just unbelievable!

In response to #9, no plates are visible on the car, just the PD permit and the registration sticker.

Again-what posted parking regulation is this car violating??

Uh, given that he never moves his car for alternate side of the street parking, that would be one. Wouldn't displaying a police placard in the window of a car that clearly isn't on police business, in order to avoid getting a ticket for the aforementioned violation, also be illegal?

Actually, I am a Repulican, but thanks for coming out. Nothing wrong with having a $70k Vette, but if you can afford that, you can afford to park it in a garage rather than abuse your police permit.

It took you to post 14 to say that this car never moved for alternate side parking regs. Just wanted the clarification. There are parts of this city that are not subject to those rules.

The street the car is on has a Tuesday and Friday 9:00-10:30 alternate side of the street no parking sign. His car hasn't moved since the storm last Thursday/Friday, and my bet is it won't move this Friday. That would be three days he has avoided moving his car.

Gee, only brooklyn gets luv? ;)

In any case, I'll take the original poster at his word that the car never moves for alternate side of the street parking.

The pic itself, however, proves nothing - snow thursday into friday, and alternate side parking was suspended for monday (and last friday also i do believe). Lots of cars haven't moved over the weekend.

Musha,

Does the fact that this guy has kept the car in the same place for over six months matter? I have moved my car inumerable times for alternate side of the street parking, while this cop's vette sits there.

Musha,

I would also be happy to take a photo this Friday between 9:00 and 10:30, or perhaps even video tape the car for the hour and a half if that would help....

#22, "inumerable times" ?? I bet you could count the amount of time over a six month period.

(2 X 26 - holidays) go on...give it a try!

Why don't you call 1-800-PridePD and report it to Internal Affairs. I bet the car moves soon after that.

WHat is the problem here??
Car covers are legal as long as enforcement can identify the vehicle.

I would like to see if he disobeys alternate side.
It is also not illegal for a person to move one car in and one car out of the same spot.

Nemesis,
Do you realize that every time you sign off your post, you completely ruin some good points. There is absolutely no room on this site for threats to people, property, or other. Not only will the posts be deleted, but if this continues, your profile will be blocked.

Please use discretion.

I'm pasting the piece of your post that was good, so that all can read:

NYC Traffic Rules: 4-08j(8)
Vehicle covers prohibited. No person shall stand or park a vehicle having a cover on it that obscures the make, color, vin, license plates and/or registration and inspection stickers, and/or restricts entry to the vehicle, if such vehicle is standing or parked in violation of posted rules.

Nemesis here. You're right, if you can't beat them join them. That's the attitude that the police have, that's the attitude that is the American way! YEE HAW!

As for my banning, big deal, anyone can post anything they like here anonymously, why I registered in the first place is beyond me.

Nemesis, there are more then enough cop-bashing sites on the net to satisfy your desires. Do you really need to do so on a site that is trying to make this city safer for pedestrians and motorists? Your bashing doesn't add anything useful, and detracts from this site's purpose.

Nemesis,
Please work with us and keep the site civil. We can block IP addresses, too, but we clearly don't want to do that.

One week, I don't think so. This guy who is not, I repeat is "NOT" a police office has parkied his covette in that spot for over a year. I was starting to wonder if he own that spot. Why doesn't the NYC Parks Department Law Enforcement ticket him or have him towed, they have jurisdiction over that area.

Thats why I left NY. Too many concerned citizens. CONCERNED ABOUT NONSENSE!!

First you all have condemned this man and why, because this disgruntled women makes these claims. I know this "officer" yes officer. Who ever made the previous stupid comment has no idea what they are talking about either. In addition I also know him to be a great neighbor who would do anything for anyone. He moves his car on alternate side days same as the rest of us. But I also know that on the rare occassion when he can't, it is because he is out on the street protecting all of us. Anyone who thinks that this women has a right to photograph and let every element know were he parks needs to evaluate yourself. I don't know how many accountants funerals were attended protecting the public. Yes, he is a friend and I am proud to say so. You should be ashamed of yourself. As the previous person wrote - GET A LIFE...steve

Hi steve, thanks for the call. He is going to just love this. Now that i have read what these wonderful "neighbors" say i to can't believe it. Well "Anonymous" my name is Mark @ 20 River. As you seem to have no problem posting peoples information on this great site, figure no problem. I hope he responds to this nonsense. One thing i have to say to whoever the coward that goes by bianchi, how dare you. I would like to know your feeling if someone posted YOUR information on a public site. And if you were so concerned about parking, what does the type of car and what he paid for it have to do with anything. Clearly you have issues. Your also the first person who would give a cop some lame excuse for getting out of a traffic ticket. Oh no, i forgot, you are sooo innocent.

Congrats, you made the NY Times today-also good to see that you edited this post and clearly identified the placard as belonging to the NYS Police and not the NYPD as had been implied.

i wouldnt care if the person who owned the car was the president. if he breaks one regulation then he is wrong... if he finds a way to maintain the spot by using another car in its place oh well too bad for you .. i mean he has 2 cars which is twice as hard to find parking. is it right ummm morally no is it illegal ummm except for the car cover probably not. and let me be the first to say i am not a fan of the police using plaques running red lights for no damm reason "without lights and sirens" and for talking on cell phones ... but this one is questionable !!!!

I think it's a double standard that LEOs can break the laws that apply to standard citizens, yet when people in corporate "break" the laws (whether this be insider trading, accounting games, etc), they get penalized.

I'm sure the first argument will be "the monetary benefit of being able to park wherever and whenever you want is very slim compared to what corporate hooligans can derive by playing their games." Either way you put it, the benefits derived from breaking laws may be seen as "compensation" of some sort, no matter what the amount is.

Hell, it's not even the $ that's the issue. It's the time that's involved with looking for a spot or having to move your car everyday. Disheartens me everytime I see a LEO turning on the lightbar just to pass through a red light, and then immediately shut them off (what happened to heading to an emergency?). Just as much so as it does to see their cars parked in places that would otherwise be an endangerment (and certainly an inconvenience) to the general public.

WOW !
I'm all for giving our cops the best- and giving them the benefit of the doubt in most situations, but this guy ought to go to jail !!

I hope someone can identify the police executive who is doing this and publicly shame him!

This Guy parks his corvette in the southend of this neighborhood, too. Check Rector Place.

Contact (212) 741-8401 or IAB@NYPD.org. Cops should adhere to the law like the rest of us do. Dumping corrupt cops helps everyone -- especially honest cops.

This is a GREAT website. Keep it up!

This website doesn't even know if the Corvette is parked illegally! If the car is moved every alternate side parking day, what is the problem? To the irresponsible woman with too much free time on her hands, why are you putting this Officer's personal information out there for all to see? Be smart, lady. The police are needed to protect and serve the public.

To the Damager - where do you "personal" information? But rest assured - I will do my best to expose abuse by police. Police have to abide by the same rules as the rest of us.

we get paid 30k a year and have to live in this crime ridden city. i think a few parking perks her and there wont hurt anybody. get a life.

sempir fi.

(1) It doesn't matter if the Vette owner is the nicest guy in the world, he shouldn't get a break from the laws because he's a law enforcement officer.
(2) If people think cops deserve a perk of free parking, the rule should be passed through normal legislative and administrative channels, and it should be strictly monitored to prevent abuse.
(3) This website has clearly been set up because people think that abuse is not being appropriately curbed by NYC authorities.
(4) As for exposing officers to risk by posting location and license plate information on this site, haven't recent national news events proven that sunlight is the best disinfectant? Also, if officers weren't abusing the perk with their personal vehicles, they wouldn't be exposed to risk.
(5) Battery Park City is not crime-ridden. If the officer or official can afford to live in BPC and buy a $70K Vette, he doesn't exactly seem like an object of sympathy to me.
(6) Doesn't "get a life" seem to mean "please ignore contempt for the law when it is petty"?

I live in that neighborhood and the car has been parked there for at least the last six months, except on the occasion when he takes it out. And as most people on that block can attest, he rarely, RARELY moves the car on alternate street parking days.

to Post #42:

It's not the rest of the community's problem that people in law enforcement chose to go into it. To rationalize breaking the law based on what you get paid is ludicrous. It was a choice you made, probably well-knowing that starting salaries would be in that range. Plenty of people make honest livings (without parking permit perks and benefits) and do not get paid more than $30k/year, so I am not really sure what your point is, other than that not getting paid much entitles you to taking advantage of things that other hard working folks cannot take advantage of.

And before you start preaching "sempir[sic] fi," maybe you should learn to spell it and also consider what it actually means. Talk about irony. As a LEO, you should be faithful to your responsibility, and that is to enforce the law. Following the law yourselves could also help with that.

Perhaps someone should get a picture of:

1) Both his 2007 yellow and 2006 red corvette covered and parked back to back. And no other cars on the block on a Tuesday and Friday because everyone else moved.

2) The corvette covered and his on-duty Chevy Impala with the radio mic hanging from the rear view mirror and illegally parked today in a "No Standing Anytime" spot on Warren Street.

I've seen the red '06 one parked on Rector before. Struck me as sort of odd. Thought to myself, "what a lucky bastard. nice car and he can park it wherever he wants."

If the '07 yellow is supposedly $70k, can anyone verify if it's a ZO6? you can tell by looking for the emblem on the side fenders, the air inlet right past the door, and larger exhaust pipes.

People don't hate him because of what he makes or where he lives. His neighbors are the source of the photo! The people referencing his salary don't hate him for his salary, they're trying to rebut arguments that we should allow cops to ignore the law because cops aren't paid that much. And there is nothing liberal or conservative about having respect for the law no matter what your standing in life. And if all you can do is resort to name-calling, then I think you've proven your irrelevance to this discussion.

If you look hard in that same neighborhood you can find a volkswagon with a car seat in the back seat, parked illegally 95% of the time in a "no standing" area.

Well, ticket that VW, then! This site isn't making the case for the rest of society to park freely like the civil servants (not just cops, though the numbers seem to speak for themselves), it's making the case that civil servants shouldn't hold themselves above the law and park like the rest of society.

Perhaps the posters that consider that anti-American should review the principles this country and free societies around the world were founded upon.

@ #49

What are you trying to prove? There are plenty of people in this city who make more than $95-100k/annum. There are also plenty of people in this city who drive cars far nicer than a C6 Corvette. Correspondingly, there will be plenty of people who legitimately rent parking garage space and pay a pretty penny for it. Your argument for how much income this LEO brings in (allowing him to live in a nice neighborhood and drive some of GM's finest) should also be a justification for him manning up and actually using a garage.

Beyond that, it's not really a respected bragging right to make a lot of money without doing squat. If he's doing squat all day, he should damn well move his car when he's supposed to, or hunt down legal and legitimately open parking spots.

Are you working your way up in the force to this income level? It sounds like you're darn proud of the $ and how you can do "squat" to make it. There's a lot of satisfaction there.

I know this person because he lives in the building next to where he parks: 22 River Terrace.

How do I know this? Because I've lived in this building since it opened in April 2001. He's been parking illegally since '02 or '03, and NEVER moves his car for alternate-side parking. I've spoken to NYC Traffic Cops trying to get them to ticket him, and they told me that they were told not to ticket him. Same with the Park Police, who have the authority to ticket him as well. None of them do because they've been told by a higher-up not to ticket him. I even filed an official complaint with the NYC Internal Affairs Dept., followed up with them, and was told that they will see to it. Has anything ever happened? NO!!

Thank god this site came about to shine the light on this asshole and his breaking of the law twice a week. The permit on his car is from the Governor's office,which I called, too, to no avail. He is being protected by someone high up, but hopefully the press will get someone in the Bloomberg administration off their ass to revoke his permit.

For all of us drivers who live in Battery Park City and abide by the law, I know I can speak for you (I've spoken to a ton of you already - EVERYBODY in this 'hood knows about this asshole) when I say shine the light bright on this law-breaker!

p.s. Who cares how much he makes? He's breaking the law, and this country is based on the rule of law. Period. If you want to reward police officers with perks, we can pay them more, or give them parking spaces in lots. NOT on the street, where all of us law-abiding citizens park our cars if we so choose.

If it is another city or state agency IAB just forwards the complaint... IAB investigates the NYPD and those that impersonate law enforcement officers within the confines of NYC.

If he is from the Governor's office, maybe he was Hevesi's driver???? If he has been at it for that long, perhaps Spitzer will come after him.

I've done taxes for NYC's "finest" and some of the veteran officers (10-15 years on) are pulling in over 100k. One lieutenant in particular has been pulling in 170-180K/yr. Another sargent makes about 140k and another 40k practicing law part-time...anyway, to get back to the subject, no-one should park on bus stops and hydrants, period.

that is one heck of alot of over time for that Lt... he just about doubled his salary... pretty amazing considering the job was caped in overtime until this january.

those were accurate numbers for 2001 / 2002 with the wtc site... haven't seen anyone i know post numbers like that in a long while

i need to change commands

anyhow, posting those inaccurate salary numbers were to make exactly what kind of point? that officers need to work 60 hrs a week + to hit those numbers? that they have no time left for their families?

our salaries are public knowledge, and i can tell you for a fact those are not my salary... i don't even come close except for the year i got 2 years worth of retroactive pay from the latest expired contract.

Normally you get 2 placards and one is only supposed to be used, not 2. I have a placard, but I don't abuse it EVER and I too circle the blocks of battery park for sometimes an hour wasting gas and time.

I love how the NYPD has responded by saying, "The cars are covered to protect the lives of the officers". Then if these 2 corvettes parked back to back and covered are used in high-profile drug cases, why are they parked on public streets and not in a some warehouse in brooklyn?

Don't let the 5 traffic agenices down here fool you:
NYPD Pct 1
NYPD Traffic
Parks Department
NYPD Mounted Unit (Summer)
NYC School Safety

And if a brooklyn warehouse is too discreet, then pay up the $1,200 a month it costs to garage your two vehicles in your neighborhood garage which rapes the residents of the area as well.

Hey #55, thanks for giving us your story, it sounds like confirmation of what 1985bianchi is telling us. But if this guy was being protected by the governer during the patacki admin, shouldn't he be moving on by now? It's been 3 months since his protector left office!

politicians often take care of those the previous admin favored... heck, he might even be part of the new admin now

#61... did you happen to miss this is NOT an nypd permit being used?

People should just start calling the Governor's office and lodging complaints. Maybe if they get enough calls they will act. #55, do you have the Governor's office number that you called?

Judging by the last three posts, I am guessing the cop who owns the car finally found out about this site and has his buddies rushing to his defense. He is kind of busy right now anyway, sitting in his unmarked in a no standing zone across the street from the Vette, so he can move it this morning and not get ticketed. Maybe he will add his two cents once he is done finally moving his car for alternate side of the street parking today!

No I'm not a friend but I can't wait till he get's a lawyer and comes after all you "concerned citizens". Lets see, you have clearly put he and his family in danger, his property, harassment and sounds like stalking. Hope he does get this, I know a great attorney.

Gee, I saw atleast 10 seperate cars today w/no one in them during alternate side hours. Where were you people with your camera's. Boy do i hope #72 is right and you law abiding people get smething else to concern yourself with-FELONY CHARGES. God do i hope he answers this...

#68 writes "pay more attention to your dope smoking disrespectful kids who stay out until 3:00 am vandalizing property, your tax cheating cronies, your insurance scamming relatives and guess what?"

You have just describe the families of most civil servants, because if they don't have the decency to follow the law in the city they work for/in, they certainly don't have follow any other rules and have the attitude of "How can I get over" with every aspect of their lives.

Pathetic.

#55 is completely correct. This car is never moved during street cleaning times. Those of us in the neighborhood always see his car parked there. If it isn't it has been replaced by his "unmarked" grey car which is often filled with police paraphernalia. He is also quite agressive about keeping the space, sometimes taking off his jacket so everyone can see his guns and jamming his car so close to anyone who dares think they might get his space when he takes out his corvette.
No one in the neighborhood cares how much money he make or what kind of car he has. We are just angry that he seems to have this privledge of a personal, permanent space in an area where spaces are very limited. Does he think the rest of us like to pay exhorbitant garage prices?
His first license plate was "narcman". It has since been changed.

The cops (and others) who bad mouth and demean the citizens living in the city, and the posters on this web site scare me. If they hate, despise, and insult the citizens of the city they work in perhaps they need a change of venue.

oh yeah....this guy is REAL corrupt. this website hasn't even identified that the offense is a violation or even illegal. What's next? A cover photo in the NY Post exposing him as NY's #1 Most Wanted criminal? If everyone operating and participating in this website put forth the same efforts to curb world hunger, stop global warming, save the polar bears, and bring the troops home from Iraq your time would be better spent.

To the people maintaining this website, why don't you clean up the language posted by your fellow unemployed liberals. Stop censoring only those who are pro-civil service.

P.S. Was yesterday a slow news day?

1985bianchi-

those are my vettes and now that you pointed out my parking habits in the NY Times I am going to make your life hell. I can't wait to catch you jay walking, I hope you like body cavity searches!!!

Are you for real? That asinine request has nothing to do with a car that is illegally parked and everything to do with putting a member of law enforcement at risk for serious harm or worse... do us all a favor and get yourself a life

::rant off::

i need to go back and look at the van again... that will make me smile

I think its an undercover car involved in a stakeout and responding to an emergency at the same time.

I cannot beleive what I am reading. I am so happy I talked my kid out of going into law enforcement. I don't care how tough this guy is, he must feel horrible that the people he try's to protect are this cold hearted. The way I read this most of you seem to be his neihbors. You are horrible people. Who the hell do you think you are. You would never convience me that he NEVER moves his car. And if you could replace your spot with another car or with a friends you would do it in a minute, who are you kidding. I simply can't see what he has done wrong. I'm sure there have been day's you could'nt move your car for alt side. But your so right that you probably looked for a traffic agent to make sure you got a ticket, ya right. I would never even look at a site like this but for all the hoopla you have caused. So your parking problem was really worth putting this officer and his families life at risk. I can't beleive you posted his car, address etc. Now some nut even wants a picture of him. Why don't you stop all your crap, if your brave and outraged address him in person you chicken shits. Problem is he probably has to much class to respond to you the way I know I would. Trust me, that would be a meeting you would NEVER forget.

#55 and #75, congrats to you for saying what every car-owner in the neighborhood has felt, seeing that Vette or Vettes in the same spot day after day after day.

#75, has he really threatened you? If so, please post again.

Let's make it clear once and for all. The guy doesn't move for alternate side parking. No doubt about it. Others should post if they agree, but people should not debate that. You'll find about 800 people in this neighborhood who can all attest to that.

It's actually really interesting - check out all of Vette guy's defenders above. NOT a SINGLE one claims that he is acting legally. Here are the defenses summarized:
1) it's just a small violation, so you should ignore it
2) it's a small violation, and you are petty/pathetic/unpopular/anal retentive/a terrorist lover for bringing it up
3) you, your family and your friends must be even bigger lawbreakers/coke addicts/tax evaders. why else would you care about a cop breaking the law?
4) other people in other cars are breaking the law, so why get on this cop's case?
5) cops are poor, they should have perks (despite owning two $70K cars and living in a $4,000 per month BPC apartment)
6) much worse, you are endangering a police officer's LIFE by raising this issue, so you are a bad person

Seriously, which of these arguments has any merit?

This went from a parking issue to let's post this "CORRUPT" cop's name & picture for all to see. The only thing corrupt here is the people who post these comments.

#88 so let me understand your rationale, your big issue is that he parks in the same spot. So if he moved his car three cars down that would be okay by you. According to all the fools who identified his address it is pretty clear to me that he has every right to park in front of (side of, or any place else) near his house that he wants to same as you do. And yes I do live here and yes I see the guy move the car on alt day's and then pull right back into the same spot. SAME AS WE ALL DO. Guess i'm not one of your 800 people. by the way I have also seen him move his other car into the same spot, SAME AS WE ALL DO, if you had another car to take the spot. Stop being a hater. And by the way, I probably make alot more money than he does but yes i would consider him a hero as well as any other cop, fireman etc. And next time you call 911 you better hope that a short order cook doesn't show up.

Caught wind of this insanity and after reading these posts i have concluded. So far 91 people, myself included need a hobby. Further, 35 of these posts clearly agree this guy has done nothing wrong OR illegal. Atleast a dozen completely lost track of whatever they thought was the issue, now speaking of (salary, threats, pictures, and so on). Which basically leaves about 47 out of which seems like the same 4-5 people doing the bitching back and forth. Seems pretty far from the 800 quoted, but i'm sure you will recruit some friends. Maybe this needs to stop before god forbid some nut comes into the area looking for this cop you all gave up and people get caught up in the nuts insane plans. I think your points have been made. Stop this before it goes to far and we are dealing with a tragedy. I have kids, enough is enough. If things go bad you can rest assured were the blame will fall. We can agree to disagree and i'm sure that our neighbor will be sure he won't forget tues/fri.

Simple solution... next time he moves for alternate side, put your car there instead ;)

No scones recipe... never really lked scones myself... blueberry muffins, now were talking

#55 here again:

To #90 - You're lying. He NEVER moves his car on alternate side parking days. That's why we're incensed. Do you think I'd waste my time up here if it were any different?
Like I said, I live at 22 River Terrace and have been here since the opening of the building. I'd be happy to meet you in the neighborhood to discuss this further if you really do live in the 'hood.

To all those others who say that it's a small issue, yes, you are correct. But to say that we should be out "saving the world" instead of wasting our time here, guess what? you can do both! :)

Finally, the only way to really alter this jerk-off's behavior (i.e. get his permit revoked) is to write to the governor's office (and call) to report this law-breaker. My next post will list the permit number.

In the meantime, you can call the governor's office at:

518-474-8390 and speak to Ann Carey, who has been in charge of doling out these types of permits. Her address, to write a letter, too, is:

Ann Carey
Executive Chamber
State Capitol
Albany, NY 12224

More to come...

The permit number is on the original post, along with the license plate number of his grey Impala.

Time to write those letters! (and call the governor's office)...

I have lived in the building pictured for 3 years now. That "officer" has had either his red corvette or his Impala parked in that spot every day for the past 1+ years (maybe 2). As someone who circles and sits in my car during "Alternate side times", I can tell you that he has NEVER moved his car. That end of the street has not been cleaned in at least 1 year. Often he takes 2 spots, and over the past several months, he has taken a 3rd spot with a matching yellow corvette. I have witnessed many times where he he pulls one out then replaces it with another.
I have been THIS close to saying something to him numerous times but never have the guts....

#114 is absolutely correct. He NEVER moves his car (except when he is taking it out and at which time he replaces it with his grey car). He NEVER sits in his car during the time when the rest of us would get tickets if we weren't sitting in our cars. He thinks he owns the space(s. It his total disregard and disrespect for his neighbors and others is what infuriates everyone.
Anyone who has written in saying he has actualy vacated the space is not telling the truth. Ask ANYONE in the neighborhood and they can attest to the fact that his car are ALWAYS there. Being a police officer or a narc has nothing to do with his personal life. He needs to keep them separate too. He can have whatever kind of car he likes but he can not take advantage of his job perks when he is off duty. And, this site is not putting him in danger because if he was worried about that he would not have such flashy cars, nor would he keep them on the street at all times in front of his residence.

tomorrow is tuesday, get the video cameras out.

Why don't you beat him to the spot when he moves it?
Is there alternate side parking on this street?
If so does he move it or is he the only car on the block that has the car there?
Everyone that wants the spot should line up down the street and put dibs on it, or maybe he should have the courtesy to ring every ones bells or ask the doorman to ask the tenants who wants the spot.
He is a cop after all and well first things first he needs to kiss every ones A--.

Is it really that big a deal to get your pantyhose in a bind over this?
The suburbs offer nice land and lots of parking with no alternate side of the street parking and well neighbors far enough that you don't have to hate everyone around you.

Filming cops that go out drinking after payday and then drive is a better idea then worrying about this guy who moves his care and covers it. I give him credit to have the patience to cover it.

How about going after these orginizations that call up all day askign for money in the name of the police and 911. Arrest them!

Peace to all
A Happy New Jersey Resident

First of all I just came back from sitting in my car from 9 - 10:30. I had full view of the car in question and no one sat in it, moved it or bothered to take the cover off. Once again the street cleaner went around it.
In response to #121, as you can see he just ignores the alternate parking signs and when he does move his car, he aggressively replaces it with his grey unmarked car. There is no way he lets anyone near his space. I have seen people try.

I've noticed that his car has not been moved at all during the street cleaning days. I'm more amazed and saddened that he is completely indifferent to the bad publicity he has gotten. He is sticking it to everyone's faces that he is above the law and there is nothing that anyone can do about it. I don't have a car and the parking does not effect me but it still makes me so angry. His behavior disgusts me.

I seriously doubt he even knows about this thread. why doesn't someone who lives at 22 River Terrace send him a note about this thread via the doorman?

There was no alternate side parking on friday you moron, so you sat there for nothing. He just has more brains and knew he didn't have to move it. Knock off the bashing already, it has gotteen real old..................I didn't see anyone else move either, or for that fact anyone sitting in any cars. In addition, as long as he does move on alternaye side days, there is simply nothing wrong with him moving his other car. Get yourself a second car and you to can do it. I do, and I got to tell you it's not so great. Still get off your high horse. You ARE wrong. I have tryed to get him to respond, he just don't think it's worth his time to acknowledge this crap, and I guess he is right. Steve

Well I wasn't the only one sitting in my car. Every car near me had someone in it and the street cleaners came by. You obviously were not there. You just don't get how obnoxious this guy is and how rude and arrogant his behavior is. Do you work for him? It seems like you must be doing this to keep your job.

Tuesday and Friday are the alternate side parking days. The signs clearly show that it's on these two days. I posted the picture of the car above with the original post by bianchi at 22 River Terrace's bulletin by the mailbox but someone took it down fairly quickly.

I didn't mean that he would read this thread but bianchi's allegations against him were in an article in the New York Times.

what are you talking about ?

Here's a copy of the letter recently sent to Spitzer's office. Just copy it and send it on so that the Governor's office can revoke this loser's permit:

Ann Carey
Executive Chamber
State Capitol
Albany, NY 12224

Dear Ann,

I am writing to you to complain about an individual here in New York City who has been illegally using a NYS Police - Executive Branch Parking Permit (permit #058309) to park his private Corvette in front of the residential building in which he lives. This block is regulated by “alternate side of the street” parking regulations, which means he is supposed to move the car on Tuesdays and Fridays (street cleaning days) like the rest of us automobile owners. Instead, he relies on his NYS Police - Executive Branch Parking Permit hold his spot and not receive a parking ticket during the days when he should be moving it to allow street cleaning.

The address of the building is 22 River Terrace in Battery Park City, and you can view a picture of his car at http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/789. He even uses his grey Impala, New York plate #CWG4813 to hold his spot when he takes his Corvette out for a ride.

This individual has been parking his private car in the same spot on the corner of River Terrace and Warren Street for over FOUR years now! My wife and I live in the building, and myself and my neighbors have complained to every police department we could. A few years ago I complained to Governor Pataki’s office, and even filed a complaint with the Internal Affairs Office at the NY Police Department. Unfortunately, either we have not complained to the correct person or department, or this individual is being protected by someone in your office.

On behalf of his neighbors and to deliver the justice he so deserves for abusing this privilege, I am asking you to investigate this matter and to not only revoke this permit, but to punish this man who has been breaking the law all of these years.

One final note: this matter is coming up now because of a recent New York Times article that features the website called http://nyc.uncivilservants.org from which I link above. His car was featured in the story and generated over 130 comments from neighbors about his abuse of this permit. You can read the thread of comments, which backs up this letter, at that url I listed above (http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/789. )

Thank you for your time and attention to this matter.

Very truly yours,

does are friend still park in the same spot?

Yup...still parks there!
