From the NY Post:NYPD brass is cracking down on cops who go through red lights while on patrol by forcing officers to fork over $50 fines if they get caught on camera and can’t prove they were on legitimate police business.
A Manhattan cop said he was hit with a summons three months ago after he ran a red light to stop a vehicle with a potential drunken driver.
The motorist was sober but tired, so no ticket was issued, and the cop didn’t make a note of the stop in his memo book, he said.
When the precinct received the red-light summons, his supervisor grilled him — then ordered him to pay the fine.
“They didn’t believe me,” the cop said. “Where was the proof? I had to pay it out of my own pocket.”
His union blasted the policy.

This nothing new...bus drivers pay, DOT truck drivers etc...........slow news day....
In response to the title; In all the times I have ever been in Dunkin Donuts, I have NEVER seen a cop order or eat a donut. They always order coffee or one of the sandwiches. However, I have seen MTA workers, office workers, teachers and construction workers order donuts by the tons!
Good policy if enforced fairly. Doesn't sound like it was in this case.
Everyone but the NYPD should try a salad.
I saw an FDNY ambulance with lights and sirens blaring pull up to a 7-11 on a snack run. It's New York. They do this to keep in practice.
His union blasted the policy.

The police union should be strung-up by their genitals. Pigs protecting pigs. Not the citizens.
Boo-Hoo, Cry me a RIVER. Imagine that, making P.O.'s actually responsible for SOMETHING!!
