- alphaoverlord 16y agoSomehow I think thats probably what happened. My guess is the plaintiff in question made a scene, "What? I'm just playing chess." and then a summons was written. Then, I don't think its a coincidence that this is on the news. He probably kept complaining and got picked up by local news.
- mjgoins 16y agoThe police in NYC have illegal quotas on summonses and tickets. They were a sort of quasi-secret until very recently. Perhaps these cops needed to meet theirs?
