The US Department of Justice this week issued a warning to the New York City Police Department demanding officers stop parking their squad cars however the hell they want as it’s now becoming a flagrant civil rights violation against people with disabilities, PIX11 New York reports.
This issue is not about how they park at the scene of an emergency response – obviously they can and should do whatever they need to in those situations – but just the lazy, fuck-all attitude of it when they leave their patrol cruisers on the street near precincts and scenes of non-urgent calls.
