>You are downplaying the severity of this evidently widespread issue for the cops.

Widespread? I'd really like to know your definition of the term widespread when speaking of the NYPD. There's 40,000 employees in the NYPD. If this is so widespread you're telling me.... I don't know.... 25,000 NYPD employees are out there blocking plates, running red lights, and breaking vehicle traffic law?

Do realize the daily shit show the roads would be if this were true?

Or in reality, maybe a few hundred or so are doing stupid shit like this. 200 out of 40,000 total employees, or 0 .5%. In reality 1/2 of 1% of the NYPD are acting like assholes. (I guess 0.5% to you is widespread)

There's plenty of plaque pics in there but your 1st vehicle has a dash loaded with patches and an NYPD baseball cap. That doesn't mean shit, that's all store bought crap. Usually that's someone who considers themselves "pro law enforcement" and hopes that helps them swat they discretion of the ticket writer to not write them.

Trust me, no cop has an FD patch on their dash.
