My complaint about unlawful parking is with people who put reflective vests on their dashboards. This is blatant corruption and we should not tolerate it.
I think we need a similar photograph law about unlawful parking and if there is a reflective vest or NYPD paraphernalia visible in the car, the fine goes up 100x regardless of whether they are NYPD / NYC employee.
- sidewndr46 5y agoI'm confused here, what does a reflective vest have to do with anything?
- gorbachev 5y agoIn New York, the traffic cops ignore illegally parked cars that somehow indicate they're part of the brotherhood. A reflective vest will do, so will a hand written note saying you're a cop, court officer, employee at DA's office, surgeon, accountant in NYPD, anything really that indicates you're "one of them". A thin blue line sticker will also work. It's wonderful.
- NullPrefix 5y agoThis sounds awful lot like a conspiracy theory. I assume a reflective vest is easy enough to obtain

"In the movies I’ve seen people who try to get out of a traffic ticket by telling the police officer they made a donation to the policeman’s ball, but those were comedies. I had no idea that not only does this exist there are official cards. In fact, the police in New York are livid that the number of cards is being limited."
