A Crown Heights resident reported a traffic enforcement agent caught giving baseless tickets in Crown Heights, telling CrownHeights.info that the officer, once confronted, claimed it was an accident.

“I noticed today at 12:40pm, Friday Nov 28th, a traffic agent giving tickets to all the cars parked on Montgomery Street between Kingston and Albany Ave,” the resident reported. “The side they were parked was no parking between 11:00am-12:30pm for street cleaning.”

“I was confused and checked the ticket, and it said the ticket was for street cleaning 12-1:30. I looked at the sign and it said 11-12:30.”

“I asked the officer why he was giving tickets, and he said, ‘look at the sign’. I showed him he was wrong, and he actually admitted that he got confused because he came from somewhere else where it was 12-1:30.

“He basically made a mistake, and now everyone has to fight the ticket. I quickly stopped him from giving additional tickets on the block.”
