Santa may be able to fly fast through the sky, but when it comes to parking he's got to follow the law like the rest of us civilians. The Daily News reports that one Santa (The Santa?) double-parked his sleigh SUV on Third Avenue in Bay Ridge, and "neighbors and politicians demanded the summons be quashed." But James Huntley, "who heads Local 1182, defended the agent who slapped a ticket on Chip Cafiero's SUV." He also added that seeing the driver in a Santa suit wouldn't have changed the law, and notes that calling the agent a Grinch or Scrooge isn't going to make matters better (is that a threat?). Marty Markowitz, whose office sponsored the event that Santa was at, said "It's the holidays. In these situations, there should be a combination of common sense and holiday spirit instead of humbug." Free double-parking at Brooklyn Borough Hall for everyone in a Santa hat!

give me a break. this guy is no different than anyone else going to their job. he should have showed up earlier to get parking.
I gotta agree with that. Otherwise you would have a bunch of idiots driving around in Santa suits.
So if I'm wearing a Santa Suit and get caught smoking a joint in Brooklyn, I should tell the cop Marty says its OK?
Fuck that shit. I want Santa to bring me navigable streets that are not clogged by lazy and selfish double-parkers.
Better 1 parking ticket for a vehicle than 12 tickets for not picking up the poop from a dozen reindeer.
Santa is lucky that Paterson didn't tax elves.
Didn't this already happen in Home Alone?

The city needs money in these tough economic times.
Marty Markowitz is a piece of shit
Santa should know better.
double-parked in a goddamned SUV??? GIVE ME A BREAK. I don't care if it was GANDHI driving that vehicle, he should definitely get a ticket.
Next time, get diplomatic plates, Santa.
