City Council To Probe Today Whether NYPD Is Pushing Parking Ticket Quotas

Is the NYPD pushing its officers to give out more parking tickets? That’s what the City Council wants to know in a hearing holding today.

The Police Department has long denied that parking ticket quotas exist, but recently six officers accused the department of penalizing them for failing to meet ticket quotas.

The council is also looking into allegations of excessive ticketing of double-parking violations.
