Enforcement on car inspections is lax. You might receive additional citations or an increased fine for having an expired inspection, but a lot of New York drivers (who I assume are not unique) will simply ignore tickets or pretend that they never received them (which is easy when they frequently come in the form of a letter tucked under your wiper, rather than a digital record).
There are plenty of cars in my neighborhood that are patently unsafe by the city and state's standards, or are modified in ways that wouldn't pass inspection. Many of them belong to cops, who drive into my neighborhood to police it from outside of the city.
- neilknowsbest 4y agoAside: I thought there was some sort of requirement that NYPD officers must live inside the city?
- woodruffw 4y agoNope: most NYC civil servants are required to live in the city, but the police are allowed to live in the neighboring suburbs[1]. The majority live outside of the city[2], with most commuting in by car (and then parking on the sidewalks of the neighborhoods they ostensibly serve[3]).
