How is this legal? Would love a fed to weigh in.

Omg be glad he wasn’t arrested.

You were parked in front of a fire hydrant. I doesn't matter why. Grow up.

It makes me really happy that this clown’s license was suspended in NY for traffic violations in another state. DC should figure this out.

Newsflash: you and DH are not special, and all rules apply

She doesn’t live in the DMV.

Bottom line is it is illegal and immoral to park in front of a hydrant. I get it if you aren’t aware for whatever reason (street parking is busy, you couldn’t see from the drivers side).

Illegal and immoral. Even for 5 minutes.

You do know firefighters use those things, right?

There’s nothing troll about this post. She thinks it’s an absurd system that her husband’s license can be suspended when they didn’t have notice of the underlying offense. I get that. The fire hydrant is not actually relevant to her complaint and is distracting the heck out of all of you!

Not all of them. Only specially equipped cars and officers who are certified to use the automated reader system. The officer only gets alerts when a plate flags. Otherwise it’s automated. And being parked illegally does not flag.

Yes, only some cars/officers have the automated plate reader system. But isn't it the case that pretty much any officer can call in or look up a specific plate and find out driver information/if the car has been reported stolen/etc? I sort of assume that these days if I get pulled over, the officer already knows my name and address (as owner of the car) etc.

It's circumstanctial evidence that points to mental impairment and a character of massive entitlement not understanding or respecting traffic law (or common sense), which suggests a long history of violations, and likely ignoring the notifications of last ticket, or perhaps driving on a license with an invalid address.

Of course. Cops don't want to get shot by a violent fugitive at a traffic stop.

Oh and OP said she doesn't know the difference between the Federal government and the state that issues a drivers license.

Am I the only one who thinks fire hydrant cop was actually being an ahole? ACAB, and I hate to say it but his time could be better spent on actual crime. I know that's cliché.

Also, jealous about the NYC bagel.

[Anonymous]

Folks. She is a New York liberal. So therefore exempt from no parking signs when it is raining. And how dare a cop eun her husband's tags! Her husband is a tax paying Democrat!

[Anonymous]

Did you have your flashers on? Because cops will let it slide if you’re parked illegally with your flashers blinking.

/s

Seriously, I’m always happy when entitled a-holes get their comeuppance when illegally parked because they can’t be bothered to find an actual parking space for their oh-so-important bagel and coffee run.

Wow it is such a mystery!

There is it. Looks like you will have to contact the town police or look up their website to see how to pay your ticket or fight it. Best to just pay it but make sure doing that clears everything up. Oh a DH can not drive till this is taken care of…he could easily go to jail if pulled over or gets in an accident.

Lol, you know OP's DH is out there driving right now, feeling entitled to park in front of fire hydrants any time he wants to run into a store and pick something up. Ugh.

what is the worst case scenario here?
someone needs a hydrant and then they can easily get to it because we were IN THE CAR.

You broke the law, dimwit. NYC doesn't give a cr*p about your specialness. No parking in front of a hydrant means exactly what it says.

[Anonymous]

And 100% don't believe you or your DH knew nothing about any out of state violation. Just thought it would go away and would plead ignorance if it came back to bite you.
