but then a No Standing Zone must be there for a reason, for instance, so Emergency Vehicles can access it in times of need.

But you didn't park in front of a fire hydrant. I hope the community fights this tooth and nail. I'd like to see the percentage of cops who live within the five boroughs and which has over an hour commute from Rockland and Suffolk ctys. It seems this was not really a problem a decade ago. Now they're parking on the sidewalk.

Thanks for the very educational post, Tim. It's great to read real examples instead of just a lot of reactionary anger (like I always write).

I can tell you this, growing up around cops... don't f*** with their parking spots! Man, those permit cards were like gold, like an extra paycheck. They were passed down through generations... and yes, I had one, even though I have a hard time spelling NYPD. I will admit, I used to park my car on a no-standing block near a precinct in midtown and one morning I pulled in, locked up, and looked up to find a scooter cop stopped and staring at me, arms crossed. I just said, "fine, I'll move the car, I don't want any problems." He looked at me and said, "Where do you work?" I told him I got the card from my old man and he started to ride away. I asked if we were cool and he said, "Yeah, I got one for my kid, too." 'Course, I reformed and never do these things anymore. It's an odd situation, a police officer's sense of entitlement. They do do a tough job, and some have long commutes, but sometimes you just want to stand up and say, "Don't you see how you undercut yourselves when you pull stuff like this?"

At least none of them want to privatize SUNY, can't say that of our current governor.

Remember kiddies, the cop's car was parked in front of a fire hydrant. What if your home or business was on fire? A fire hydrant, folks. I think there's a law against that for a reason.

Once again the NYPD shows itself as an entirely corrupt and dysfunctional group of thugs, who apparently have immunity from violating the laws which they supposedly swear to uphold. And just think, that detective is regarded as one of the more "intelligent" ones of the force.....Good work CBS.

didn't someone ask why all the NYPD hate? See the three videos on WCBS. Thank you gothamist for keeping this on the front burner.
