This driver slapped a completely bogus placard on their dashboard to avoid paying the muni-meter. Meanwhile, actual businesses in the area get slapped with tickets all the time if they park illegally.

This driver apparently likes to take away parking spaces from commercial businesses... and not even pay the meter.

And s/he is using somebody else's restrict placard.

And there's not even a Precinct nearby (nearest one is on 30th St., and that's too far).

Black Mercedes Benz, - this vehicle frequently uses this meter as their private and free parking spot.

He's at it again but this time on a FRIDAY. At 5 pm on October 2, 2009, the same tall and husky city employee was observed parking his car along 81st Street and 5th Avenue in Brooklyn, NY. He shut off the ignition, placed the NYC Human Resources Administration on the dashboard of his government vehicle and walked past the one hour parking meter without dropping a quarter inside it. Destination? The bar on 8122 5th Avenue for Happy Hour! An hour and a half later, he is seen leaving the bar, getting into his car and I guess it's back to work!

Every other Thursday at around 6 pm, a tall and husky driver can be seen parking his NYC agency owned vehicle along 5th Avenue in Bay Ridge, Brooklyn. He places his NYC Human Resources Administration placard on top of his dashboard and exits the vehicle without ever feeding the one hour parking meter. He then walks over to the Knights of Columbus bar located at 8122 5th Ave, Brooklyn, NY 11209 for a visit. He's been seen staggering back to his agency vehicle several hours later suggesting that he may have had a few drinks too many.

I don’t know what kind of violation this can be categorized as. Is it a parking meter abuse? Is it a drunk-driving accident waiting to happen? Is it theft of city services and resources? Or is it all of the above?

somebody give these folks a raise so they can afford to pay the meter

Too cheap to pay the meter... but I wonder how much the driver paid for somebody else's placard?

Gee, they're on "Official Business" quite a bit over here, along with the Court Officers. They can't be bothered to pay the meter.

fake placard, not paying the meter.

doing his part to hold up commerce

The owner of this vehicle has been parking around the sixth precinct for more than a year without a front license plate and very darkly tinted windows (both NY violations.) I have sent three letters to the captain of the precinct with no action taken. It is currently parked on the east side of Hudson street between Charles and Perry at metered parking. Who is this guy that he can operate his vehicle without a license plate for more than a year without any consequence?????
Can not make out the permit number because the window is tinted very dark.

Car is at a meter, unpaid, at 34 Avenue A, East Village. Funny because the unmarked towers and truck show up to tow him and he and all his buddies run out to show juice. They don't tow!!!
Unpaid tickets and illegally displayed placard and DRUNK. They let him walk.

this selfish behvaior brings new meaning to "An Army of One".

this is a pretty common sight around the armory, sadly

Corrections dept employee wants free parking.

... and we all suffer the consequences.

.. and increases congestion and double-parking. Thanks!

There's a few muni-meter receipts in here, but none valid.
