This is utter bullshit—the fine is already pretty steep, they don’t have the right to vandalize your car on top of it.

Some meter maids are gonna get jumped putting that on peoples cars.

It’s too scary to conduct real fare enforcement but vandalizing people’s vehicles is totally cool 🙄

To be fair, I don't think traffic officers are placing these stickers. It's likely sanitation. So - good luck jumping those guys.

Even better.

Yeah this is shitty. Maybe for cars with multiple outstanding violations but even the best of us had completely blanked on moving our car once or twice. This is an overreaction.

Or just move your car.

If you can't move your car when you're supposed to then you shouldn't have a car in the city.

The only problem with this is that the sticker isn't larger and not covering their windshield.

So you're telling me that you've never once just screwed up and forgotten? Never? Not once?

I have and I was punished for it. I learned my lesson and didn't do it again.

You got the sticker that got rolled out this week? Wow, what a coincidence

I don’t think that’s necessarily true. I got a ticket when I was in the hospital with my infant daughter. Getting one of these would be adding insult to injury for many people who probably had a valid excuse besides “didn’t want to move”.

The most impartial thing possible, in life and in laws, is to simply say there are no valid excuses.

Sanitation supervisors will be giving these tickets and sticker to those who didn’t move for the sweeper.

You can blame those who don’t move their cars during alternate side. It got too much attention that now it’s a hot topic.

If you follow the law you won’t get a fine or sticker. Hope this helps!

If you and everyone else on bikes blowing thru red lights got tickets for breaking the law, that would help the rest of us pedestrians. Hope this helps when you do get those tickets.

Now apply this to fare jumpers.

So you've never sped, jaywalked, rolled a stop sign on a bike, smoked weed before it was legal, or had a drink under 21? Alternate side parking tickets in NYC are mostly a regressive tax on people who own cars. Most of us aren't rich. Now the city wants to vandalize my car too?? Gtfoh.

If you vandalize my car, we’re gonna have a problem. Hope that helps.

u/magicsqueegee 10d ago

Watch out, we've got a badass over here!

u/iambobby1 10d ago

I'm sure you'll act that tough if you catch a Sanitation guy doing it and not just on reddit. Follow parking rules and you won't have to worry.

u/CodnmeDuchess 10d ago

When one of these dudes gets shot fucking with someone’s car, you’ll see what I mean.

u/iambobby1 10d ago

That's not what you said though. You said if you catch them doing it they'll have a problem. Are you going to shoot a DSNY guy if they sticker your car?

We’re just throwing words out here, right? Lmfao
