NYPOST.com (http://nyp.st/1N0tD9c) reports that the ticket-writing champ, 53 year-old Arnous Morin, bested the city’s No. 2 parking enforcer by 4,000 summonses and says he owes his title to his relentless commitment to enforcing the city’s parking ordinances to the letter of the law.
“Never, never. It’s never OK to break the law,” Morin said. “The law is hard, but it’s the law. You can’t break the law for any reason.”
The Haiti-born Morin generated about $1.2M in ticket revenues for the city in 2015, mainly covering the streets of Sunset Park, Park Slope, Bay Ridge and Coney Island.
“I have the whole of Brooklyn South in my head,” Morin said.
Yup I’m sure he doesn’t break the law at all… I’d love to know how much commission or bonus be gets… THAT’S what I’D like to know….
So whats his commission??
I am sure such a talented guy can find a better job then making the lives of New Yorkers a living …..
Oh! what a genius
Really the law is the law? Why don’t you look alittle harder at the muni meter receipt before you write a ticket? I’ve fought and had dismissed atleast two dozen tickets this year because of careless people like him that can’t bother to look alittle harder at the paper on the dash. 1.2 million – and he’s just one guy , the number 2 guy “only” wrote 15,000. I think there needs to be an outside audit of this guys ethical performance.
That is called “abuse of authority ” !!! And for everyone who disagrees …. Let’s hear your opinion when it happens to you !!!!!
I bet you he’s not a NY car owner..
50% are fake I am sure about it, He should be investigated.
Came to the U.S.A. from Gyanna in 2005. started working for city 6 months later. They should check if he had green card, legal working permits. Only received his citizenship 6 months ago. Anyone who repeatedly says that we have to deal legally is likely to be an ILLEGAL.
Just drive down coney and you can give a ticket every few feet! Double parked cars, cars at hydrants or bus stops…. It’s a Chillul Hashem!!
Enforcing the law is one thing. The laws themselves are not there to protect businesses or to help the customers trying to shop. They are there for one single purpose – to criminalize normal behavior so that the city can generate revenue. That is plainly immoral.
he really cares about the law, im sure he never smokes anything illegal.
The law is the law this ticket people are lowlifes have my car ticketed and towed for no reason got the ticket dismissed but go fight City Hall to get your money back for the towing and storage fees he is what he is a lowlife in my opinion
What is his secret that he doesn’t get writer’s cramp?
At least he does not decide. Drive down Nostrand Ave and observe. All the agents give warnings to their black friends, never a ticket even in a No Standing area.
When I hear a person of color proclaiming passively the ‘law is the law’ I always want to remind them about the laws from 50 years ago.
Now let him hit boro Park- I’m sure he can beat his own record
Seriously, do they get a commission? I have never seen NYC workers so devoted and alert.
does he get a plaque?
He wouldn’t write half the tickets if he was patrolling a black area
Send him back to Haiti – or hell
Sometimes a person just falls into a job that he simply likes and has a talent for. I am like that with my work. It is a wonderful thing.
To all the ticket complainers:
Imagine there will be no traffic enforcement in Borough park, i would be now stuck in traffic on 13th ave shopping for Passover 2013….
Well i dont know if he wrote illegal tickets or not but sadly this whole thing of ticket writing has nothing to do these days about enforcing the law but rather about bringing in money to the city. And in order to fill in the proto call alot of agents have written tickets that should have been dismissed in first place for them endangering peoples lives just to write those tickets
The reason people hate these guys is that they treat you like an animal. Even if you have a defense they don’t care to even talk to you. They simply look you in the eye, leave the ticket and move on to the next ticket. Now, you have to put the time to send in proof of your defense and possibly go to court to deal with it. They are like computerized machines, with no human component.
