i remember this one, the century 21 incident.
There is a public low cost city/municipal parking garage half a block away at 5th ave and 86th street
maybe like $6 for 8 hours, its 5 stories and always has space even during xmas time shopping and weekends!!!
this cop abused his parking placard and parked in the midblock crosswalk and in front of a hydrant

For the guy who called Jimmy Justice a loser, you are probably the cop that hit him. How else would you know it was for 10 minutes? If everyone is to be held accountable for their actions, then cops are supposed to be examples for others and they are not above the law that they enforce, and should be held accountable for what they do. Jimmy, i hope you video all the bad stuff they do and publish it every day. Bring it all out in the open.

do you have a job.
let the F’n cop park wherever he wants you putz.

He protects us, let him have his god damn perk.

if there is a fire and they need the pump, the FDNY just bashes out the windows and puts the hose thru.

sorry noone is above the law. even the po po.
wasnt there a case where a video vigilantee caught a cop parked infront of a fire plug and there WAS a fire? they are there for a reason, and that reason isnt to be blocked by rent-a-cops

Note to NYCPhotorights: If it helps, I’m in the same boat. The proverb that applies is Misery loves company.

Note to NYCPhotorights: You’re only as old as you feel. However, you said that you feel ancient now. Time for the rocking chair.

Note to NYCPhotorights: You said, Sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander!

You are apparently an elderly person. That, or perhaps you were a reader when you were young. This proverb frequently crosses my mind, and I’ve thought about using in these forums, but I rarely encounter it these days. It’s the sort of thing that a grandparent might say.

Would have served him right if there was a fire in the area. If they needed to get access to the hydrant the NY Fire Department would have busted the windows of his car and ran hoses right through it.

Actually in NYC there is a condition under which someone can legally park at a hydrant – someone has to remain in the vehicle with the ability to move it at a moments notice should the Fire Dept need access to the hydrant.

Part of the problem that gave rise to people like Jimmy Justice is the fact that NYC has adopted a zero tolerance policy towards drivers. Cops and traffic enforcement agents literally sit in ambush waiting for the second meters expire or alternate side parking rules take effect, or do not even give drivers a chance to drop off or pick up passengers at bus stops even though stopping for that reason is permitted by law, etc. Many people have now turned the table and look for errors that law enforcers make. Sauce for the goose should be sauce for the gander!
