How is this some sort of Sham? Is enforcing the law a sham now? Should I just ignore all laws because of this? Of course not, thses ridiculous claims of "sham" and whatnot are ludicrous. This is a legitimate problem and these traffic officers are doing something about it. Sure, they could let them go scot free, but there's no incentive not to do it again. People these days are so ignorant, if you don't want a ticket then don't break the law. Is it really that hard to understand?
Let me explain the traffic agent. Traffic agents consist of mostly blacks, hispanics, indians and some jews. From elementary school to high school they were picked on and bullied. They lack education so they can't own their own business. They have no balls, so they're not going to to be a real cop, fireman or paramedic. So they say what can I do that requires the least amount of work effort and will give me a false sense of authority? I'LL BE A TRAFFIC AGENT!!!!
So let me get this straight. So instead of assigning one officer at that intersection to direct traffic, they chose to instead assign several officers there to write tickets. If this isn't a clear example that police no longer care about public safety and PREVENTION and that they'd rather focus on revenue collection. They prey on problem areas, instead of preventing the problems.
@1775novten So, you don't believe that giving them a ticket will change their ways? That's what a ticket is for, you pay your hard earned money and (hopefully) learn a lesson so you don't do it again. Besides, you could always fight any ticket in court, no garentee you'll win, but it's worth a try.
@XxGRAWM1A1xX Change what ways? What law did they break? You do realize that they did have a green light when they entered the intersection. If a driver is unfamiliar with that intersection and doesn't realize that green really doesn't mean go and instead they need to wait and see if the road ahead of them clears - then I can definitely see how this is an intersection problem - not a driver problem. And it appears the meter maids are praying on this, instead of helping it.
@1775novten The law that you can't block an intersection? There's a rule that states something like; "You may only enter an intersection when there is available space to proceed safely out of the intersection before the light turns red." In short, if you can't get out of the intersection before the red, you're a traffic hazard and likely to be cited.
@XxGRAWM1A1xX So what do you think is a better service that these public servants could provide - 1) place one officer at the intersection to direct traffic, or 2) citing all the citizens who are likely tourists and unfamiliar with these intersections? You don't think it is predatory for these officers to be citing all these people instead of just preventing it in the first place by having an officer directing traffic?
@1775novten For option one, that is why traffic lights were invented. That exact reason. Secondly, I highly doubt they were tourists as those were privatly owned vehices and even most New Yorkers don't own a car. What they were doing is what's called a "Zero Tollerance" sting where; they group up, pick an intersection, and do this for a full day. Everyone caught doing it gets a ticket, no exceptions. It's to bring awareness to laws like theses to people who forget or don't know.
@XxGRAWM1A1xX So you do think it is the best use of our tax dollars and service that our public servants can provide? So instead of preventing the problem and potential safety hazard for the pedestrians - they'd rather wait for the offense to occur and then cite the drivers. That doesn't sound very logical to me.
@1775novten The best use of our tax dollars, yes. If we had peope just directing traffic there'd be no tickets gathering extra revenue. (Plus, that's what traffic lights are for) So, the city has ways to punish bad drivers and encourage good ones to continue their practices. If you saw some guy getting off for robbing a bank when everyone knows he did it, wouldn't you be mad? Don't you think there should be a punishment? Otherwise, people will continue their bad habbits.
@XxGRAWM1A1xX Unbelievable. So you're admitting yourself that they are writing these tickets to collect revenue, instead of serving the public, which is what we pay them for. Instead they are agents sent out by the city to collect revenue. This is a blatant conflict of interest. If the officers focus becomes collecting revenue instead of serving the citizens - don't you see how that is a conflict? Please watch?v=d9ArxnkWck0 if you get a chance - this exposes the conflict.
@1775novten Why can't they do both, why does it have to be one or the other? Why does coolecting revenue have to be some big huge argument when proventing accidents is no where to be mentioned? You're missing half of the point of a ticket and, instead of focusing on the money and the safety, you only focus on the part where the state makes money. Holly shit, the state making money off of citizens for wrong doing?! Someone call the UN, this is inhumane!
I'm sorry but I know there are tons of illegal tickets being issued, but these box blocking idiots are just that...idiots. The reason I almost never end up stuck in the intersection is because I'm paying attention and I will see people ahead getting stuck so I won't cross until there is space on the other side for me, ESPECIALLY when I know the light will change soon. It's called having consideration for the traffic perpendicular to you. They're in a rush too ya know!
TRAFFIC AGENTS DO NOT HAVE THE POLICE POWER TO CONDUCT A CAR STOP LIKE THAT! THEY ARE NOT SWORN POLICE OFFICERS FUCKING ACADEMY REJECTS! TALIBAN MOTHERFUCKERS! AND A NIGNOG! DONTTTTTTTT PULL OVER FOR THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
@AnDyCuZz First of all, yes, if Traffic pulls you over you need to do it. They may not be peace officers but they have the authority to stop any vehicle breaking the law. Besides, that car was stuck (by it's own fault) and didn't have anywhere to go.
yeah well they fuck with drivers that get stuck in the "box" why dont they get on the fucking pedestrians moping across the street like they have all day or cross against the light causing the traffic jam ups
It is a total sham but you are purposely making these videos as if the Traffic Agents have the FULL authority to write the law. You have to understand that it is not them but their superiors going up to the god damn blind governor we have here in NY. This JimmyJustice BS is getting old and these people are noticing that and will lobby for protection from people like you taping them. Just watch it will happen and then the real chaos will begin. So just let it go man.
