Rabbi Leib Glanz
A reporter spotted a black Chevy Suburban with official license plates double-parked in front of Glanz's home on Ross Street in Brooklyn; the vehicle had emergency lights on the roof and dashboard, plus two parking placards. One read, "Active firefighter . . . This vehicle is on official UFA Business . . . Uniformed Firefighters Association . . . Expires Feb 1, 2010 . . . #22344." The other was a placard from "Chevra Hatzolah," the volunteer emergency ambulance service.
The reporter followed Glanz as he drove around Brooklyn, parking illegally at will. When confronted, Glanz explained that he'd been given the firefighter placard by the Fire Department "as a courtesy" so he could park at the main synagogue of the Satmar sect on Hooper Street: "In case I have to respond, I can park there. There aren't a lot of spaces." But when asked why had been seen using the placard to illegally park away from the Hooper Street synagogue, he replied: "I'm willing to take it off. I don't need it." Then he drove off.
They Bloomberg administration has made reducing the glut of parking placards a priority, with mixed results. Last February there was an outcry over employees at an Upper East Side synagogue using bogus DIY parking placards, as local cops looked the other way.





get off his kneydls. he was chosen to use that placard, end of story.
Can't a rabbi do something wrong without being persecuted? This is worse than the Holocaust.
Oh c'mon, Shoah little respect.
There are two well too do looking little old ladies with big blow dried hair on Grand Street in LES who have a Hatzolah placard on a black caddy, lic plate NY "1K R1". They seem less than capable of rescuing anyone, let alone themselves in a real emergency. It looks like abuse to me.
When he goes to temple and pray for his sins everything gets washed away - until he leaves temple.
Dirtbag.
classic scam, all i see in broklyn are fake EMT's and VAS cars with all those lights zipping around traffic, running stop signs and running red lights.

These guys don't care about anybody but there own ethnic/religious community. They have their own police department! How the hell is that Kosher with the city?! And whenever anybody speaks out against them, you're called an anti-Semite.
Plaxico obviously should request a transfer to this facility. Something tells me that making microwave popcorn here wouldn't be a big deal.
