Park Tix Alert!

More details to come.

This Tue., March 24, 2009, one of my many spies caught a NYPD traffic agent hit 2 vehicles with bogus parking tickets. Between about 7:30am and 7:45am. She was an African-American, full-figured.

The crime scene was 23th Street, between 8th and 9th Avenue, the walkway near the School of Visual Arts. There is a parking sign, NO STANDING 8am to 6pm.

The alleged suspect was caught sticking the bogus tickets, not under the windshield wipers, but in a crevice on the side of the vehicles. My spy saw 2 tickets on 2 different autos fly away as other vehicles passed by. My spy asked her: "Don't you see the tickets blew away." My spy claimed she just shrugged it off. It seems that she didn't care at all.

I suspect the 2 tickets were completely bogus. Probably, they were NO STANDING tickets. She illegally issued NO STANDING tickets to 2 victims. When in fact their vehicles were legally parked. They had until 8am to park there. But she issued the tickets early.

She didn't want the drivers to find them. So, she placed them on the vehicles. So that the wind would blow them away for her.

Parking Tix Judge Can't Answer Sign Question

Listen to my live hearing at http://www.box.net/shared/xmnnc881q8
Download the MP3 file or stream it. Enjoy.

This morning I had a live hearing with NYC Dept. of Finance ALJ (administrative law judge) Kevin G. O'Keeffe. At the S.I. Business Center at 350 St. Marks Place, Staten Island, NY 10301. I was there to fight a bogus "No Standing" ticket for my friend Eddie.

Eddie was slapped with a "No Standing" ticket at 10:03am on Wed., Feb. 18, 2009, according to the summons. Eddie claimed the parking sign was confusing. He took photos, and I reviewed them.

After my review, I had to agree with Eddie. This "No Standing" sign is a blatant ticket trap. Please, check out the sign below.

The top of the sign says: NO STANDING 11PM-6AM. But the bottom of the sign says: NO STANDING 10PM-MIDNIGHT.

Even a person with half a brain would agree this sign was designed to create confusion. The top and the bottom parts do not agree on the start time for the NO STANDING zone.

Why don't both the top and the bottom both begin with NO STANDING 10PM-? Because that would mean less cars ticketed and towed. Less revenue for Mayor Mike and his parking Nazis.

Who does the top part apply for? Where does the NO STANDING 11PM-6AM apply? Judge, can you, please, explain to me who for and where the top part applies?

These were the questions I asked ALJ Kevin G. O'Keeffe.

Please, listen to my live hearing at http://www.box.net/shared/xmnnc881q8

ALJ O'Keeffe claimed that he clearly explained the sign to me. But I'm still confused. I still don't know what his answer was to my simple question. For who and where does the NO STANDING 11PM-6AM apply?

Can you understand his answer?

Lastly, ALJ O'Keeffe said he saw 3 signs not 1 sign. He couldn't understand why I was confused by the NO STANDING 11PM-6AM sign. According to him, why can't I see the NO STANDING 10PM-MIDNIGHT sign. And forget about the other sign.

Take common sense and logic. Throw out window. Now you too can be a NYC parking ticket judge.
