Officer Lee (L) and Officer Ditto

CrownHeights.info has learned that the two ‘Officers’ that were assigned to car 1474, Ditto and Lee, known as the APL car [or otherwise knows as the car that gives out all the seatbelt and cell phone tickets], were removed from street duty! This news comes after they have harassed Crown Heights residents, and according to most residents, they were biased and have harassed both Shomrim and Hatzalah Members in the past.

Motorists still remember the first two ‘Officers’ Kennedy and Muintz who were removed from their duties for various violations. The most serious being; they struck a pedestrian on Purim during the ticket blitz then left the scene, telling the pedestrian “nothing happened”, and another incident where they made a motorist get out of her vehicle to collect her drivers license and ticket.

After the removal of these two ‘Officers’, Lee and Ditto were assigned to the APL car. There are numerous rumors flying about as to the circumstances of their removal, one of them being; after an investigation of hundreds of complaints to the CCRB [Civil Complaint Review Board] against the duo. The CCRB opened the camera that is located on the windshield of the car [placed there to prevent departmental irregularities] and the investigators came across a harrowing incident where the ‘Officers’ chased a motorcycle out of the jurisdiction of the 71st precinct, during which the cyclist was involved in a fatal accident and upon this happening the two ‘Officers’ ‘fled’ the scene.

Ditto and Lee Are Off The Streets!

The authenticity of the rumors can be questioned, however a previous incident involving these two reckless ‘Officers’, where they drove at a high rate of speed in pursuit of a small ‘moped’, down union street from the Kingston Ave to New York Ave (driving against traffic) (Click Here to read that story) this wouldn’t be such a far cry.

We also learned that not only have the ‘Officers’ lost their guns and badges they were also transferred out of the borough. One was assigned to the Bronx on desk duty, while the other to Manhattan on desk duty as well.

Residents are urged to fight unjust tickets they received from them.

Remember, since Mayor Bloomberg implementation of the 311 hotline the police now have who and what to answer for, complaints to the CCRB have gone up %70 since 311, so if you feel you were mistreated in any way, call 311 and complain!

  • what comes around goes around!

    i has seen so many times,what the two cops here were doing.
    they were not as bad as the first 2 black woman officers,how ever they were still bad.
    why cant the new CO VEGA from the 71 st pct.just put officers that understand crown heights,in this car #1474
    it is so easy,yet this is not being done.
    i will allways remember of one cop,that worked in the 71pct,and now works with the police Commissioners Liaison unit.his name is Sergeant David Wadler.
    when he worked here,he was liked by jews and non jews alike.his undertanding and judgement is not what you find every day.he is one of new yorks finest cops!
    we need officers like him here more then ever! and i assure you,crown heights would be a much safer place!

    great news…now what about getting rid of those 2 women cops?

    just think…if we can achieve this, let’s all join together to get rid of EVERYONE who’s making life gehennom for the decent pple of CH.

    And that includes getting rid of this CHJCC & all their servants.

HE IS THE ONE WHO SENDS THEM TO "GET THE JEWS" WE HAD A BEAUTIFUL RELATIONSHIP WITH THE PCT. UNTIL HE CAME ALONG, GO FIGURE. VEGA, WE CAN’T WAIT TILL CCRB TAKES YOUR SHEILD!!!!

ALL THE JEWISH NYPD AUXILIARY’S SHOULD GET OUT OF THE RACIST 71ST PRECINCT CAUSE THEY ARE GOING TO BE DRAGED INTO THE GARBAGE. I THINK THEY SHOULD PUT CAMERA’S ALL PATROL CARS SO THEY CAN CATCH ALL THE COPS ACTION’S WHEN THEY PULL US OVER FOR STUPID STUFF.

    You guys sound like a bunch of Morons. If you follow the laws in regards to driving, you will never have a problem. If you hate the cops so much, stop complaining about every little problem you have, and handle things yourself. Enough is enough. As a jewish police officer, you make me feel embarrased. As for this crazy crown heights jew, go back to the 77 or whereever you came from and just quiet your position as an apo. You wannabe. Now you know why you get treated like garbage

    for everyone’s info i think the car is cursed cuz this morning at about 7:30 in front of my house car number 1474, which was these officer’s car, they pulled over a person, i think cuz they wanted to feel important, and just ticketed the car for probobly something stupid, especially at 7:30 in the morning.

    Is that right? If we follow the law in regards to driving, the cops will take the time to arrest muggers instead? THAT is our problem in CH. WE pay the taxes and WE get fined for the offenses, whereas the REAL criminals walk around as if they own the neighborhood. And all because of politically correct policing, and cops who know that if they ticket a Jew in CH, the worst they’ll get is a little rudeness, whereas if they do what is needed to fight crime, which is what WE pay them to do, and what the many law abiding gentiles in CH also PAY them to do, they might get into a fight.

    Cops are civil SERVANTS, not our bosses. Cops work for US – we are not here so that cops can meet ticket quotas.

    I’d love it if we could handle things ourselves, get a rebate from the city for what goes to the cops, and put a private security firm into the 71st Precinct offices. Needless to say, that is not how things work in the US.

  • Ditto Victim

    Mad River, Those cops were BAD people! They harrassed more than just jews! There are other bad cops here in cronw heights and they need to be removed from the NYPD. No one is complianing about gettign stopped or getting ticketed thats legit! but when you only stop jews and let blacks talk on the cell phones in MY face. and then you treat those victims like dirt, thats a CRIME! And what about harrasing EMTs? Ive seen it with my own eyes! The Inspector Needs to make a public appoligy or at least send one of his messangers to post a comment in the name of the 71 PCT. Come on I know you guys read CrownHeights.info They just have REAL good news! Keep up the good work…

    I sit here and read these stories and laugh. These two officers are fine gentlemen who have worked hard putting their lives on the line to keep the streets safe. Crown Heights is a diversified neighborhood and their is a lot of racial tension there as well. Motorists who received summons have a right to challenge them in court, but keep in mind they will return and are probally reading these comments. This would give them an incentive to put a bullseye out on people. The Jewish community is not thrilled to see them off the street, they are thrilled they do not have to spend another penny paying a ticket. They feel they are untouchable. You know what, they are human too and are not above anyone else. They are treated the same as anyone and when someone gets preferential treatment over another, that is violating the NYPD policy. A police officer is to be non biased and treat everyone the same. I feel they have

    The problem here is not that they are giving tickets, like you said – that is there job (and they should do it.) Yes, anybody driving with out a seat belt or talking on his phone should get a ticket, they are putting themselves and others at danger (the laws are there to protect use)

    The problem is:
    The NYPD say they are giving ticket on accident prone zones. That’s fine, we most be safer on the road.
    But our (real) problem here is, why are not the NYPD found in Crime prone zones.
    If they are cracking down on Road crime then they should be (even more) cracking down on ALL crime.
    It just seems that they are just taking the easier Job* (of making money) and not getting in to harms way.
    I.e. we want full protection.
    * Easier job: The question also arises as to why when other’s in our community breaks the traffic laws (like double parking etc…) they get away with it.

    The answer to that is that we DON”T make a Fuss/Riot when we get ticket –Which causes no harm to the police… But the others…Not so fast…

    Don’t fool yourself; it’s not only about the tickets.

    You really have no clue as to what goes on in the community you live in. Stop feeling like you are the victim here. In every pct in the city there are officers dedicated to enfocement of moving, parking violations. If you don’t like it here, I suggest perhaps you knock on the doors of 1 Police Plaza

    Let me ask you….

    This morning the traffic light on N.Y. Ave and Empire, let’s see, yes that’s the corner on the 71st precinct, was not working for about (as far as I know- could be more) an hour, as I was coming up N.Y. Ave (with a green light) I almost got hit from both sides.
    NOW WERE ARE THE COPS THAT CARE SO MUCH FOR OUR SAFTEY, WHY FROM THE WHOUL POLICE DEPARTMENT THERE WAS NOT ONE OFFERCER TO CONTRUL TRAFFIC,
    WERE WAS CAR 1474?????!!!!!!
    [some one saw that car on Kingston and Montgomery giving some one a ticket]

    This is not the first time that this has happened, it happened not long ago on the corner of Kingston and Empire for a good few hours, NO POLICE to direct traffic,
    They just drive by.

  • NYPDsupporter

    Let me set somethings straight. I am speaking on behalf of these two officers and wish to remain anouymous (or however you spell it). Right now, they are reading the website and laughing. They are going through a rough period right now and over time, they will resume their career. They would comment themselves, but it is in their best interest not to at this present time.
    They worked hard and did their job. The Jewish community is up in arms because they were actually touched for once and these officers had the courage to do it. I cannot say the same for other lazy cops. I find it disgusting that they are being referred to as Laurel and Hardy, but it is not ok to right despariging remarks about the jewish community; those would not get printed, but dispariging remarks about them are. That is a disgrace and the jewish community should be ashamed of themselves. This website should be ashamed of it iself to as it is biased and one sided; it should retract it as it would comments about the jewish community. Mark my words they will be back and they will resume their courageous work. I support them and believe me, they taking all this one and they will return stronger than ever. Yous are making it worse on yourselves.

We do things the right way and the right way privailed! We will continue to crack down on low lifes like ditto and lee. and not to mention PO Kirsh, hes on the way out I hear… Ask vega at the next meeting :)

    Great News!

  • Listen Up!

    The most amazing part of this story is not the fact that these two “fine officers” were removed from the streets and transferred separately to different boroughs, no this is small stuff. The best part about it is the defense that they are getting on behalf of all NYPD MOS’s. One night I was in the 71st and I saw scrawled on a locker with a marker “DON’T BE A DITTO”.

    While within the department officers may hate each other, once one of their own comes under attack they unite and defend each other, even if he’s a bad cop. Crown Heightsers take a cue!

    When the 71st received 6 new officers 2 years ago I heard a community member ask a Sgt. are they white or black, the Sgt. answered blue. While I wish that were true, it isn’t. there are so many officers out there that are racist pre-judgmental fascists, just go out there and read the NYPD Rant, where they are constantly blasting the “hasids”. And it seems like they are almost jealous of those “hasids” since all you hear them do is cry that “they have the money” and “they have the power” and “they get to have red lights” and lets not forget their all time favorite “smelly hasids”. Plain pathetic, and to think that some of these are those who protects us, I shudder at the thought.

    And to that ignorant cop that wrote that comment in Lee and Dittos name, you are a fool, once transferred its almost unheard-of that a cop comes back to his former precint, besides, one of the reasons they were booted was for using non regulation law informant equipment such as an additional red LED light bar in their windshield and privately owned radios. These cops ate it hard with IA, I wouldn’t be surprised they get kicked off the force entirely. Aside from the fact that its probably one of them who actually wrote the comment!

    One last thing, to all those of you who feel the rant is overflowing with hatred, you aren’t welcome here with the rest of your hatred, go troll elsewhere. Webby show them what biased really means!

  • victim of tickets

    Vega is REALLY a bad CO. Not since the riots have we seen such obvious anti semitism here. Either he turns a blind eye or he encourages it. He can’t pretend he doesn’t know. Can we get rid of him???

    Couldn’t drive up Kingston last night fom Lefferts to Empire. I was LITERALLY stuck…double parked Shvartze cars on both sides, many of em BRAND NEW (I wish!!!) w/ blaring music.

    WHERE WERE THE COPS TO GIVE THEM TICKETS???

    I hope the cops monitor this site. They need to know how much they’re despised. We need a complete shake up @ 71st. Is there some way to get all these comments to the Commissioner, make him see how strongly the community feels? Also, let’s send as many constructive comments we can to the Post/ News. Better leave out some:))

  • ILOVENYPD

    Just because an officer is transferred out does not mean he would not return to his respective precint. The Jewish community is not responsible for these officers getting transferred out and they understand why. In time, whent the dust settles, they will return and continue where they left off. What is sad how one sided this website is; it is anti-cop. Printing comments about police is allowed, but not the jewish community. Sad. To call these outstanding officers low lifes is disgusting. They are a blessing to the neighborhood and are hard workers. Criminals come in all colors and religions. They stood up and took action where needed. They risked their lives at least eight hours a day and did what they had to do. They touched an untouchable community and for this they are hated and booed. They stepped into uncharted waters and pushed aside politics to do their job fairly. They believed in by the book action. They saw the infraction, the violation, and/or the crime for what it was and not the type of person committing it. I have seen these officers work and I am impressed. Guys, keep up the good work and I wish you the best. You have my support and we need you guys back. We need cops with a backbone and they had plenty of it. We need cops that do not believe in politics and they didn’t.

    —————————————————————-
    No, they did not touch an untouchable community. They went for the easiest targets, allowing the real violators, from the real untouchable community, those whose traffic offenses and quality of life offenses were just the tip of the iceberg of their lawless lives, to operate freely.

  • ILOVENYPD

    When one says the easiest targets, I wonder what that is implying. There is no such thing as an easy target. In addition, there are no real violators; people in general break the law. End of story. Being that is the case, police action is taken. These cops are highway safety officers and they enforce moving infractions and violations. There are patrol cars that answer 911 calls and there are a lot of calls every tour. It is hard to do so much with so little. When it comes to quality of life issues, these need to be addressed with the C.O. and Community Affairs. These officers and patrol cops have their assigned roles and it is hard to find time to stray away and tackle other issues. In addition, when it comes to Quality of Life offenses, when an arrest is made, the D.A.s’s office does not take them seriously and laughs at them. So overall, who is to blame? Maybe if people in general were civilized and respectful to the police, quality of life would improve. Maybe if matters were addressed more with Community Affairs, quality of life would improve. If the D.A.’s office hit these offenses hard, maybe the quality of life would improve. From jaywalking, to driniking in public to loud music, these are pressing issues that need addressing otherwise the community as whole will blame the police for not addressing it when it goes beyond them.

    When one says the easiest targets, I wonder what that is implying. There is no such thing as an easy target. In addition, there are no real violators; people in general break the law. End of story. Being that is the case, police action is taken. These cops are highway safety officers and they enforce moving infractions and violations.

    See Mendel. Mendel is talking on his cellphone. He keeps talking after he starts his car and moves off. Mendel gets a ticket.

    See Kamaganga. Kamaganga is not from anywhere near Eastern Parkway and no one wants him here. You see, this is not about race. Our fine neighbors have less use for Kamaganga than we do – no one lumps us together with Kamaganga.

    Kamaganga is speeding at 120 MPH. Officer is busy with Mendel. Kamaganga then double parks and leaves his radio running as he drops off a suspicious package. Mendel is running late for work and doesn’t have the time to notice Kamaganga.

    See Chana. Chana forgot to put on her seat belt. Her kid is not well and her mind is elsewhere as she heads off to the doctor’s office. Chana gets a ticket. Chana tells the cop – Look what’s going on over there! Cop tells Chana – "Shut up! I’m the boss here!"

    Meanwhile Kamaganga roars off at 120 MPH. Chana calls 311. Officers get a complaint lodged against them. Officers respond by ticketing every Mendel and Chana who double parks on EP for a few minutes. 311 gets a deluge of calls, and the tickets are argued in court. Officers finally are moved.

    Mendel and Chana are easy targets. Sure, they deserve tickets. Good citizens who, like all of us, forget the rules or have bad habits. But Kamaganga is a hard target, and he gets away.

    And you know full well that except for isolated events on holidays, it is the Kamagangas who play loud music without permission and drink in public. I don’t even know how you define jaywalking, but if it’s what I think it is, it is basically suicide on most CH blocks during rush hour.
