Meanwhile, I’m sure there are absolutely no hit-and-runs in NYC. Every time a pedestrian gets injured, the police diligently log and investigate it.
You’re a cop, right? You should start by taking a look at the magical crime-free zone right in front of your precinct, where your car can block a fire hydrant or the sidewalk, and parking tickets don’t exist.
- nla 2y agoPolice don't make the laws, we enforce them. Currently if you are in an accident with a pedestrian, and you don't leave the scene, even if there is a fatality, there is nothing more than a summons issued, even if the pedestrian has right of way. NYC is a Democrat supermajority and has been for decades. They just made jaywalking legal, not that I've ever written a jaywalker in over 14 years. Another NYC rule is that on police streets, where there is a precinct, it is self enforcement and the CO of the command has the final say. Nothing stopping you from pressing the NYC City Council from changing the rules or the law.
- jakelazaroff 2y agoPolice enforce some laws against some people some of the time. The “self enforcement zones” you’re describing don’t make parking on the sidewalk any less illegal — they just mean the cops there can allow themselves to break the law.
