- DSMan195276 1y agoSmelling like pot in a park doesn't mean you smoked in that park though, you can walk through a park smelling like cigarettes too.
- steveBK123 1y agoOK for the pedants let me be more clear - "NYPD writes tickets to people drinking beers in the park but not to smokers, for reasons". Anecdote lines up with actual data from GOOG: In a three-year period, the NYPD issued a total of 440 tickets for public smoking violations. vs In the period between January and March of this year, the NYPD wrote over 7,000 tickets for public drinking. This represents a significant increase compared to the same period in 2022, with roughly 5,000 more tickets issued.
