Came here to say this! As if NYPD bothers to enforce any traffic laws… Hopefully that will change in the new Mamdani administration

The NYPD inappropriately ticketing someone for (not) violating a law the officer evidently doesn’t understand, only to have the charges thrown out in court — LOL indeed, absolutely riotous.
Is that the way you did it for 22 years?
