Reply to comment by bangbangthreehunna in Captain of 78th Precinct Defends Arrest of Famed Bike Lawyer For Fixing Defaced Plate by LonelyGuyTheme
For clarity on why you’re getting downvoted, your initial argument was “they don’t have time to help with illegal cars, they have too many important 911 calls”. I point out how absolutely ridiculous this case is, and that there is no way it should take priority if they are so busy. You respond by saying “well it must’ve been a 911 call”.
So either the cops aren’t as busy as you say, because the 911 calls can be unimportant stuff like this, or they’re terrible at their jobs and prioritize unimportant matters on the arbitrary basis of what number was called.

A 911 call for what probably is considered criminal mischief has priority over some abandoned vehicle. An alleged crime v a car that needs to be towed has different priorities.

Boy oh boy you sure do just love the taste of boot, huh. “Criminal mischief” sounds like a good description of the person purposely blocking their own license plate. It is also a crime to abandon a vehicle.

Is that so?

Section 16-122, paragraph e
“It shall be unlawful for any person, such person's agent or employee, to abandon, or to suffer or permit to be abandoned any motor vehicle, whether or not owned by such person, in any marginal or public street, or any public place.”

Here’s the laws being violated by the person obscuring their plate, though magically the cops weren’t interested in those. Golly gee I wonder why that is.
