  • Hydrant

    I’m surprised the police didn’t come quicker in view of the fact that her car ended up parked within a few feet of a hydrant. Usually when someone parks within 15 feet of a hydrant the police are there within seconds to write a summons.

  • police dont care

    why do police stand on every corner waiting to for a car to go on a red light or go speeding just to get money and give them a ticket without explaining why?
    but when itcomes to an accident, theysleep in their beds and respond “YEARS” later.

  • tickets

    They Stand all day on president (and albany) they take red light in order to pull over somenone for not wearing seatbelt (I dont even know if its leagal for them). i hope at least that the bogus tickets makes the street safer.
