Here we have Latte Lucy still getting away with a pile of scrap paper parking daily in a NO PARKING zone,

With the $7200.00 she saves annually on garage parking she didn't need as she parked for free on the street she bought a new car.

See her old car here 4 and 5 years earlier.
Nice racket when enforcement sucks as it truly does. Just too much work to make an observation daily when there are easy pickens.

If you park your late-model white Mercedes every day on a desolate block festooned with No Parking signs, do you think no one will ever notice? Especially if you obscure the expiration date of your permit? Guess what? People will in fact notice.

This blue Hyundai is parked by a young lady every night as if it were her own personal spot. It must be nice to have that convenience, while the rest of the Upper East Side searches for spots.

The fact that this space is used by handicapped people, such as my elderly mother, seems to be of no consequence.

So ... This guy continues to park in an illegal spot and is never ticketed. (This has been his "special spot" for over two years now) Street cleaning doesn't apply to him either! The city even added an additional "No Parking Anytime" sign and still nothing. I guess the magic EMT plate grants immunity to all who have it. It doesn't even really matter if you are an EMT - - Doctors who can scam a plate get this free pass too!
I guess some guys are above the law in NYC. All the rest of you poor schmucks, get used to it!

More than a year after I first started posting this placard-abusing John Jay College employee taking home an official vehicle and then using it to block a crosswalk for hours on end, things are actually getting worse. He or she has been joined by a second person doing the exact same thing. This second person is from the New York City Department of Small Business Services.

The southeast corner of E. 158th Street and Walton Avenue, which is striped for pedestrian use only, is pretty much taken over by City employees parking their government-issued cars overnight.

I thought the Mayor was cracking down on this. When will this b.s. ever be enforced?

Welcome to the Dirty Five-Two.

While everybody else gets ticketed if they turn around and blink, these guys leave their trucks parked wherever they want, for as long as they want.

The other dirty cops who work at the precinct drive by all day long without enforcing the law they pursue all too eagerly with everybody else.

(This vehicle was parked in the same spot, visible that it's illegal from blocks away, for over 11 hours without receiving a ticket.)

This car parks at the same NO PARKING spot for over two years now without ever receiving a ticket.
Do all EMT's get to park in front of their houses for free? Not only that, but he doesn't even move the car for alternate side of the street cleaning.
This is the second year this has continued. During the spring the "No Parking" sign was torn down / fell down?, Then it was put back up in the late summer. Despite that, this individual continues to use this spot with impunity. As you can see from the photo, this is not an Ambulance, nor is this a area of official business.

Here's another vehicle parked illegally in the NO PARKING ANYTIME zone outside St. Brendan's.

It's a repeat offender:
http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/14625
It's parked in the exact same spot, at the same time it was previously observed breaking the law. And yet, the Dirty Five-Two can't seem to enforce the law?

Apparently they have not yet given up their evil ways! Will they ever see the light (before they're shown the door)?

The dishonest cops so busy breaking the law with impunity within the confines of the Dirty Five-Two have a lot to confess. Unfortunately, I don't think that's why these guys keep parking illegally outside St. Brendan's.

So, here we go again this morning. Even with the Dirty Five-Two under investigation, they're driving by illegally parked cars nobody could possibly miss... without ticketing them.

The sign NO PARKING ANYTIME is clear to everybody. It's obvious nobody else is parking there. You can't drive by without this vehicle sticking out like a sore thumb... Oh, and this location has been reported to the Dirty Five-Two as a problem more than once.

But apparently if you're an officer in the Dirty Five-Two, the corruption runs so deep you WILL drive by WITHOUT DOING YOUR JOB... even while you KNOW YOU'RE UNDER INVESTIGATION for screwing around with parking tickets!

The dirty cops who won't do their jobs, who just steal our money, can't be fired fast enough!!!

Parked in a NO PARKING ANYTIME zone in the Bronx, with a Restricted placard from Queens Vice? That doesn't make any sense. Officers don't report to the corner of Perry and Holt Place to begin their shift in Queens Vice. I sure hope Vice officers are intelligent enough not to use an NYPD placard while they're on "official business."

And... Gee... This car sure looks familiar...

Maybe that's because it was already caught parking illegally IN THIS SAME SPOT just a few months ago:
http://nyc.uncivilservants.org/post/index/13494

But here we are, back again, with a dirty cop breaking the law while the Dirty Five-Two turns a blind eye.

Just how is it that nobody from the Five-Two managed to issue the necessary summons? This is, after all, a conspicuous location. And this is, after all, a location that has been brought to their attention repeatedly. And this is even a vehicle that has been reported to them, for illegally parking in this exact spot.

How is it that they managed to drive by all day long, and not issue a ticket? I don't think they're that inattentive. I really do think they're smart enough to understand this issue too.

The only explanation that makes sense is that they're just so corrupt they really think they're going to get away with this collusion to steal a few extra benefits. They think they have the power to allow their buddies to break the law with impunity. Who cares about BREAKING THE LAW, right? Who is going to do something about it? The cops? They're the cops!

Well, we ARE a nation of laws. We are the country that allows citizens to make arrests. And THIS community will not tolerate this type of corruption.

Some advice: park legally, and ticket EVERY vehicle that is not legally parked. Or go find a new job!

Be aware, we're not going away - WE LIVE HERE. Sure, you can keep breaking the law for a little while, but THE LAW will eventually come for you!

So, here is a dirty NYPD cop, using his Restricted NYPD placard (from another precinct, no "official business" in sight, far from any police house...) to park illegally. Of course, he's parking illegally as a copy in the Dirty Five-Two, so they do NOTHING.

As ALWAYS, the cops here in the Dirty Five-Two did not ticket the vehicle. Even after residents talked to them IN PERSON about this EXACT location. Even after it was called into 311.

(Location is signed NO PARKING ANYTIME because it must remain clear for emergency vehicles to be able to turn the corner. A fire earlier this year burned the supermarket to the ground. Dirty Five-Two just doesn't care about our safety, or enforcing the law, or obeying it...)

Meanwhile, at THIS SAME SPOT, just this week, the honest officers from the MTA Police have arrested a guy for using a stolen placard.

That's right. The MTA Police made a special trip to enforce the law after the matter was brought to their attention. Meanwhile, the Dirty Five-Two can't be bothered to stop the car while they're ALREADY driving by, even after multiple discussions with the local community.

The difference between the REAL HEROES and the Dirty Five-Two couldn't be more clear!

They're working hard here in the Dirty Five-Two... working hard at breaking the law, that is!

Parked in a NO PARKING ANYTIME zone, nowhere near any precinct, no police activity in sight, no excuse whatsoever to use an NYPD Restricted placard in a totally different precinct. And, as always, not ticketed by the corrupt cops at the Dirty Five-Two.

Let's be clear. Let's speak the TRUTH. When you see several personal vehicles parked illegally, proudly displaying their illegal use of NYPD Restricted placards, and the precinct does nothing about it day after day, they are telling everybody THEY HAVE NO RESPECT FOR THE LAW.

These dirty cops could care less about enforcing the law. They like being in charge. They like giving themselves special privileges the law does not give to them.

But, we're the ones who pay them. And we pay them to ENFORCE the law, not BREAK it.

It's time for the people breaking the law to be held accountable. If they park illegally, they should be fired. If they refuse to ticket their buddies when their buddies are breaking the law, they should be fired too.

If you won't do your job, we'll find somebody else who is honest enough to actually get the job done!

Here's the personal vehicle of someone who has a restricted placard from the Traffic Enforcement Division.

This vehicle is not being used for any official business to enforce traffic regulations. It is just habitually breaking them itself!

This is not a restricted parking zone. This does not remotely look like a place where someone would report to work for the Traffic Enforcement Division. And this is not the first time we have observed this vehicle illegally parked in this area.

It's just laziness, and arrogant corruption.

There is usually a parking space available any time of day or night on Parkside Place. There is ALWAYS parking available on Webster, not more than 4-5 short blocks away.

This guy just believes he can get away with it. Why not? His buddies here in the Dirty Five-Two have been letting him!

Despite a lot of work by the community, our elected officials, and IAB, the Dirty Five-Two still won't pass up an opportunity to give their lying, cheating buddies a free pass!

MTA Police placard used to park illegally at a difficult turn on a narrow residential street. Basic common sense would dictate that an FDNY truck may need to be able to make a turn ON A BLOCK WHERE A BUILDING ALREADY BURNED TO THE GROUND!!!

But does the Dirty Five-Two care? Absolutely not! They're obviously more interested in being best buds with their dirty cop brothers everywhere.

Let's get real - it is you JOB to ticket ANYONE parked illegally. Don't care if they're job is being a cop. That doesn't mean they can break the law - it makes it that much more important that they do not break the law!

If they can't do the job, they need to be fired. In this economy, we can find plenty of honest, brave New Yorkers who will actually enforce the law, instead of breaking it!

Things have been getting better in Norwood. Far, far fewer illegally parked cops in the neighborhood, and they ticketed an illegally parked car with a DOT placard this morning.

And yet...
This morning, a car with a placard from "Headquarters" parked right in the middle of a NO PARKING ANYTIME zone.

Just as the precinct starts to clean up its act, someone from downtown shows up to break the law.

Sometimes the dirty cops are so thick, you can't even get to the end of one block without coming across another one.

Apologies the photo isn't a little more clear. If you look, you can see the No Parking Anytime sign - the vehicle in question is the white one down at the corner. Clearly parked illegally.

Dirty Five-Two simply does not care. One dirty cop parked next to another, and they leave them all alone.

They're too busy ticketing the taxpayers who pay them for (maybe) parking a few inches too far the wrong way.

Meanwhile, the cops are breaking the law all over the place, up and down the street, around the corner... you name it, there's a dirty cop parked there!

Half of the reason the streets are literally so dirty is that with all the dirty cops parked, the street sweepers can't clean properly.

Welcome to the filthy world we live in, thanks to the Dirty Five-Two!

Still walking down the same street, here's dirty cop number 3!

This is nowhere near any precinct. Certainly not the 49th Precinct that issued this restricted parking permit.

This is also the second day in a row this dirty cop parked on this part of this same block illegally (he blocked the fire hydrant yesterday morning).

Clearly not on any "official business" here...

Just breaking the law to park more conveniently because the Dirty Five-Two lets him get away with it. No regard for the danger it poses for everyone in the community. No interest in any basic semblance of professionalism either.

Three blocks this morning, and we've got three dirty cops. In a precinct where they're all dirty enough to let these jokers get away with it in broad day light.

It is really bad when you can't walk a single block without seeing a cop break the law.

In fact, other than cops breaking the law on every block, I didn't see any criminal behavior this morning at all!

The only crime was the dirty cops in our neighborhood! Welcome to the Dirty Five-Two!!!

This guy parks illegally almost every day. When he isn't in the NO PARKING ANYTIME zone like this morning, he's blocking a nearby hydrant.

He doesn't even have a parking permit from the NYPD. He just throws a bunch of trashy looking NYPD junk on the dash.

What does the Dirty Five-Two do? They give him a free pass.

If you decorate your car with enough NYPD junk, apparently you can park anywhere you want. Who cares what the law says... obviously not those paid to enforce it!

Just another day of NYPD crime in the Dirty Five-Two!!!

Come on!

One-third of the car in a NO PARKING ANYTIME zone might not be a big deal, if they weren't ticketing civilians for a matter of inches every day of the week.

It might not be a big deal if he didn't insist on parking illegally every day.

But this guy refuses to park legally, and the Dirty Five-Two refuses to ticket him.

And he doesn't even have a real NYPD placard!!! The guy just throws a bunch of NYPD crap on the dashboard.

Yesterday afternoon he was blocking a hydrant. Not ticketed. He moved from the hydrant, and was in the NO PARKING ANYTIME zone by the morning. Still not ticketed.

Other cars on the block had been ticketed.

I guess if you suck up to the NYPD, you don't get ticketed. Their own little power trip here in the Dirty Five-Two!

Parked nearly everyday in a No Parking Anytime zone...
