Stolen Car Prompts Massive Police Response
CROWN HEIGHTS, Brooklyn [CHI] – A car with plates that came back as a stolen vehicle prompted a large police response. The incident began at 6:15pm today, Wednesday on Empire Boulevard and Bedford Avenue where a police van spotted the vehicle and ran its plates which came back as stolen.

Throngs of officers, mostly from the Brooklyn South Task Force responded to the short chase which came to an abrupt halt at Brooklyn Avenue, just a few blocks away from where two officers were shot and one killed when attempting to pull over a stolen vehicle. (Click Here for that article)
After approaching the driver and a short investigation it turned out that he was in fact the legitimate owner of the car, one officer said, “He probably reported it stolen and found the car on his own and neglected to inform the police”.

I actually thought for a few seconds that it was a Purim Torah: the police quickly responding in great force to a stolen car?! My God, what’s the world coming to? What’s next–the police quickly responding in force to a mugging or home burglary?!

last night i was coming home from a wedding.
i was so excited to hear the noise coming from teh 2-way radios of the police patrol ment walking on president street.
Well, this was a kinda noise i do want to hear at12;30 am, but for some strange reason, when i finally saw the 2 policemen, they were not patroling the street, but rather, they were giving a car a ticket. i watched for a few minutes, and after they put that dreaded orange envelope tucked into the cars windshield, i noticed, how 1 officor, then croseed the street to walk, with his flishlight, while looking at each cars registration as he walk by it, towards Albany ave. As his partner was covering the other side of the street.
So i think i get it.
they kill 3 birds with 1 stone;
1) they give tickets in peace without the jews looking at them
2) they can be “out patroling” so what are the jews complaining about …
3) they fill thier ticket quota with ease.
how sad. how sad. What a bunch of waste of taxpayers money.
this is Sick.

the only reason the police is doing a “great job” is cause they have nothing else to do

Let me see if I’m getting this — Whine if the cops do nothing, wine even louder if they do — Why should they even bother to do anything when no one shows any ounce of appreciation?
EXPLAIN YOURSELF, CHESKY!
B“H
I hope I’m misunderstanding you, that when the police are on foot patrol, WHEN NOTHING IS/SEEMS AMISS, according to you, they are not allowed to check cars on their beat for an expired registration?
AND, according to you, if they find a car with an expired registration, they are not allowed to ticket it?
THAT’S SURE WHAT YOU SOUND LIKE!
If that’s not what you meant, I think you’d better clarify what you said above.
Personally, my take on it is, B”H, they are on foot patrol!!! I always personally thank them for being there! Since when is THAT a “waste of taxpayers’ money” in this neighborhood???
And if writing a few tickets FOR VALID INFRACTIONS (yes, even expired registrations!) will bring in the bucks to keep officers on foot patrol in Crown Heights, so be it! Keep your registration and inspection up to date, and you won’t EARN “that dreaded orange envelope.”
