"I noticed a vehicle parked on 50th Avenue in Long Island City for 7 days. It was parked on a one way street; facing the traffic. It was parked in front of a fire hydrant and it was parked 20 yards from the 108th precinct Police Department.
I have a few questions:
Why does the Captain of 108th precinct Police Department allow this?
Does this car belong to one of the police officers? If yes, couldn't they park somewhere else instead of parking illegally for more than a week? (I took photos of the car everyday for one week). The car was finally moved today.
There is another small car (Cooper?) that regularly parks at the same stop; right next to the building of 108th precinct. There are several police officers that park on this street, blocking the vehicle traffic as well as making walking very hard. The officers park their personal cars on the sidewalks. One officer has a huge black truck that makes driving almost impossible on 50th Avenue." - Lee
Sometimes impounded vehicles are parked outside precincts if evidence needs to be collected from them. Besides, I'm sure a NYC police officer would make sure he/she registered his/her car in NY state. So that can't be the vehicle of a police officer. (Ok, I'll stop being sarcastic now.)

In other breaking Queens news, a cab went through a yellow light, there was heavy traffic on the LIE, BQE and GCP, delays on the R train, and there was an accident on Queens Boulevard and double parked cars on Steinway Street.
give him a citizen's ticket- scratch up his hood.
Guarantee you want the car moved: Call Internal Affairs, they have a towing unit that responds very quickly.

And a city worker took his/her city-owned car with official plates home and used it for non-city business...
You know, its not fair that our big, strong officers have to WALK more than 50' from their cars to the door off the PCT.
And heaven forbid they take mass transit and hop on the subway like the rest of us! Oh wait, i forgot, we stupidly allowed them to live outside of the city now. I forgot.
Check out the 114th precinct in Astoria. They park on the bridge on 35th street, crossing the GCP. The cars are half on the sidewalk, half in the street. Cars block this cross street 24/7.
Those aren't even NY plates!
How come the firemen don't paint yellow lines 10 feet on either side of the hydrants anymore?
I work for CUNY. Who should I report unofficial use of city vehicles to ?

Lets end this practice especially residency - restore requirement to live in the city.
What do you expect from the most corrupt precinct in Queens with the highest rate of CCRB complaints?

The 108?? I thought it was the 109.
I don't mean this to sound like a defense of what goes on outside of this one precinct - just the opposite - but is there a precinct in the city where this doesn't go on? And check out the streets by the intersection of Junction Boulevard and the LIE, where the NYPD has some kind of bureau. It's even worse there.
Yeah if they all lived in the city,there would be even less parking spots,skippy! When was there ever a requirement to live in the city? NYC transit employees aren't even required to live in ny state.
It cannot be a NYC cop: as we all know only North Carolina residents receive North Carolina plates, and its a long commute from NC to NYC.
The NC plate is definitely not a cop's private vehicle. The precinct Integrity Control Officers all have their own "quota" to bang out a certain amount of cops for various infractions. This would be a very easy one and the 108 ICO would be on this like a Queens politician on a developer's private parts.

Bad example. That is actually one of the LEAST offensive, compared to other police commands, both in Queens and citywide.
