From the Daily News:The NYPD released a new online, interactive map Sunday that allows users to research major crime across the city.
The map plots the time and location of crimes by month, and for the current and prior year.
People can search the map by address, ZIP code or police precinct.
The crime-mapping website was mandated by city law earlier this year and created by the city’s Department of Information Technology and Telecommunications.

Useless. It's a month and a half behind real time.

So its a match for NYPDs response time?
This map is pathetic and a continued example of NYPD's reluctance to share information with the public. They'll map car thefts but not car crashes or the injuries and deaths that result. Because it's not a crime if you're driving.
no, driving is not a crime. do you think it should be?

Actually, the NYPD does have a very involved Traffic-Stat program where accidents are recorded and trouble areas are targeted as Accident Prone Locations. And last I heard, the NYPD DOES arrest if they have Probable Cause that there was some intentional or neglegent criminality involved in an accident.
You'd think they'd have enough techy skill to update this at least weekly if not daily.
Never said driving was a crime. But 99% of drivers who injure or kill pedestrians get off without even a traffic citation. Never mind criminal charges. Because if you injure or kill with a car, it isn't a crime.
That's because they're not intentional. If you were drunk or intentionally mowed someone down, that would be a crime. It's very hard to convince a jury that a crime was committed if there's no intent.

Agreed, but the DA always has the option of other charges that don't require intent; Reckless, Criminaly Negligent, Depraved Indifference.
Interesting read here about the types of charges that can be filed against those operating vehicles, but are very hard to prove.
Great, they should give us lower fares and tolls for going through high crime zones. Call that decongestion pricing
