NYPD Finest Liar?
Traffic Agent Arrested
For Fake Tickets

SOURCE: METRO/JRM (05-24-06)

Queens District Attorney in New York City
says that NYPD Traffic Enforcement Agent
Nivea Cloud, was issuing summonses while
sitting in her NYC vehicle in a handicapped
space. The problem was not that the officer
was not occupying an area reserved for
disabled drivers but that this finest NYPD
agent wrote 27 parking tickets at seven
different locations in three hours on May
12. Cloud faces up to four years in jail if
convicted of writing bogus tickets and
other charges. Yesterday she was brought
in front of a judge and formally charged of
official misconduct. For the address of
37-06 Broadway alone, Officer Cloud,30,
issued as many as six summonses for
vehicles allegedly parked in violation.

NY Costly Parking &
Delivery Companies

SOURCE: NY POST (09-01-06)

Many courier companies such as
Federal Express, DHL, UPS are being
forced to pay costly fines for parking in
prohibited area in New York City,
specially in Manhattan. Their drivers get
about 7,000 parking tickets per day. In
order to cope with all these summonses
the City and the delivery companies have
agreed on a plan that dismisses or
reduces the tickets if the company
waives its right to contest them.
So far this program has saved $1 million
to the City and avoided over 770,000
ticket hearings. Though these
companies are saving by participating in
the program, the parking violation tab is
still high. However many see it as the
"cost of doing business in a large city"
