It's a testament to the safety of our city that NYPD officers are comfortable enough to lower their guard and take a coffee/texting break while patrolling the Brooklyn Bridge, a high-profile terrorism target.

If FDNY leadership claims protected bike lanes are an existential threat to fire response while ignoring their own employees blocking fire hydrants, maybe we should stop treating them as an authority on fire safety.

If this @EDNYnews employee is openly parking a ghost car in a No Standing zone across the street from a federal court, I wonder what he does behind closed doors?

The plate is improperly displayed and can only be viewed from a few feet away, and the exp. date is obstructed.

If you can afford a $70,000+ sports car, you can afford to pay for parking. Some jerk from New Jersey shouldn't delay thousands of commuters that rely on the Jay St bus lane.

This legendary laminated sheet lets the NYPD know that these heroes are so important, they shouldn’t get a parking ticket…even when they park on a crosswalk.

We honor New York’s Bravest Paper Filers, the County Clerks, with the most powerful paper of all: the NYSCCA parking placard.

Remembering our @NYPD1Pct brother, P.O. Johnson, who was struck by multiple snowballs when he knowingly walked into a park where hundreds of hooligans were participating in an unsanctioned snowball battle.He is never forgotten. #NixHodiePensioCras

The New York City travel ban is now in effect but many drivers didn't get the memo.

How is NYC Sanitation supposed to plow Duffield Street if a couple FDNY employees have their cars parked there?

Many cities ban street parking before snow storms so plows can clear roads efficiently. In New York City, we not only allow cars to remain parked on the street, we continue to tolerate placard abuse.

Entering false information in a public record is a criminal act. New Yorker are struggling to cross the street because a handful of corrupt NYPD officers are breaking the law.

Is @NYCMayor's @NYC_DOI ready to take action against corrupt cops?

I reported a vehicle owned by an @EDNYnews employee blocking a crosswalking in Downtown Brooklyn.

Shortly after the 311 was closed as no violation, I headed back to Cadman Plaza and saw that @NYPD84Pct lied.

Takeovers have become so mainstream that public sector employees are now participating.

Here are some advertisements from @NYPD84Pct and FDNY encouraging street/sidewalk @placardabuse takeovers in front of firehouses and police precincts!

Elderly woman who killed family of 4 likely with her speeding vehicle... An elderly San Francisco woman who ran over an Apple executive and his family with her Mercedes is likely to dodge jail time -- leaving relatives of the slain victims appalled.

Mary Fong Lau killed a family of 4 with her car and will likely avoid prison due to "showing remorse".

Can you be remorseful while also transferring your multi-million real estate portfolio to an LLC to avoid losing them in a civil lawsuit?

NYC apartment fire kills 1 after firefighters' battle to extinguish... "When vehicles are parked at a hydrant, it definitely impedes our operations, it slows everything down. Getting water on the fire fast is a critical part of our jobs," FDNY Deputy Chief Jeff Meister...

Most hydrants in Downtown Brooklyn are blocked by illegally parked vehicles. The NYPD refuses to ticket due to @placardabuse. New Yorkers shouldn't die because a few dirty city workers want free parking.

The city must clear their bike lanes immediately and hold Citi Bike accountable for failing to maintain their stations.

The Jay St bike lane is in shambles and yet Citi Bike riders are still using bikes despite the mess.

People riding today aren’t doing it for fun, they’re commuting and relying on these lanes to get around.

A little bit of white stuff and we all forget how to drive

Some people need their driver's license revoked. This NJ man has 97 violations including 43 for speeding and 14 for bus lane violations.

Unfortunately NYCT Bus cameras can't issue an automated ticket for driving on the wrong side of the road.

Thanks for walking past 5 vehicles blocking a Jay St bus stop. That was helpful.

Plenty of traffic enforcement agents walk by illegally parked on this block. Do you know why?

Did Lincoln Restler become an NYPD spokesperson?

The NYPD continues to refuse to ticket vehicles blocking bus stops, sidewalks, travel lanes, and bike lanes.

There has been no change in @placardabuse enforcement so they deserve no praise.

Roads with pedestrian refuge areas remain treacherous. How many days will this go on?

Sneckdown Chinatown

Oops. Dropped my towel and the @MTA took a pic of my rear plate.

Many traffic enforcement officers walk by illegally parked vehicles with placards all day long. This perp covered his rear plate to avoid NYCT Bus camera enforcement.

Does @NYCMayor have a plan to bring integrity back to NYPD NEWS?

A N.J. power broker’s son was convicted in a fatal hit-and-run. Former Gov. Murphy pardoned him on his last day. Harris Jacobs, 28, called his father 10 times after the 2022 accident but did not report it to police.

Harris was arrested and a trial was underway, but Phil Murphy issued him a pardon.

Phil Murphy pardoned the son of a political ally on his last day in office. Harris Jacobs fatally struck an elderly man in Atlantic City and drove away without calling an ambulance.

Instead of seeking help, he called his father, Joe Jacobs, a well-connected power broker.

These e-bikes need to stop driving on the wrong side of the road.

When Mayor Mamdani was sworn in, he inherited our previous mayor’s mess.

Does he have what it takes to stop city employees from parking on our sidewalks? I’m sure Mamdani wants them gone, but does he have the political skill to make it happen?

Vehicles with low hoods reduce pedestrian injuries and, as an added benefit, make it much easier to leave the warmth of collectivism behind.
