A bunch of years ago, I got a ticket on the Gowanus. For 54 in a 50. I was in a NY Telephone van at 4 AM. After he gave me the ticket, I asked the cop if he was pissed that he got a high phone bill or something. Thankfully the judge tossed the ticket.

people drive and speed in this town. its a damn shame. I got a ticket for going 84 mph on the Williamsburg bridge, but that was 15 years ago, when I was crazy, and driving too fast.

At night.

With my lights out.

True story: A guy with laundry bag raises arm to hail cab. A cab (which has a fare/passenger pulls to curb, occupant gets out, he gets in.
The doors lock, he is trapped. The car is NYPD badged as a normal cab.
Inside his laundry bag are several very HOT electronic goods he just stole. A few days later the girl ( i know her ) gets all her stuff back, except for her drug-stash which gets attributed to laundry-bag-man. Whoops!

NYPD can spot these guys a mile away.
