No, that would mean admitting wrongdoing by their officers and that will never happen. It's also a nice revenue stream and would expose the internal pressures

No, that would mean admitting wrongdoing by their officers and that will never happen.
It's also a nice revenue stream and would expose the internal pressures to raise money through ticketing by management and administrators.
- iquantny 10y agoThey admit wrongdoing in the quote.
- DiabloD3 10y agoBut there is nothing in the story stating NYC is returning the effectively stolen, as per their admission to wrongdoing, money.
- morganvachon 10y agoIt's not stolen, that implies an intent to do wrong. Per the NYPD's response (and given their candor, I find no reason to believe otherwise) it's clear this was a training issue and the officers writing the tickets were doing their duty to the best of their knowledge at the time. And having said that, yes I believe the money should be returned, and probably will.
