The system needs it's extortion funds to run.

In the two weeks that ended Sunday, there was a 70 percent drop in DWI arrests, a nearly 96 percent drop in arrests for incidents in the subways, and nearly 80 percent fewer arrests on housing development property, Kramer reported.

And that’s in addition to the plummeting number of tickets written for parking and traffic violations.

City sources told Kramer if those numbers continue and there is clear evidence of a slowdown, “corrective” actions will be taken. Possible sanctions could involve administrative actions by NYPD Commissioner Bill Bratton or even invoking the Taylor Law, with its threats of fines and penalties.

The unions insist there is absolutely no job action going on.
“There is no work slowdown that is sanctioned or encouraged by the unions,” Detectives Endowment Association head Michael Palladino said.

Bob Ganley, vice president of the Sergeants Benevolent Association, said there is no work stoppage and any threat of the Taylor Law
could do serious damage, 1010 WINS’ Glenn Schuck reported.

“Stop bringing the threats in about violations of Taylor Law, it’s a pretty serious allegation,” Ganley said. “There is no slowdown, I can’t see a judge siding with anybody saying that.”

Meanwhile, the Patrolmen’s Benevolent Association has taken its case directly to the people with full page newspaper ads that were to run for a week. The ads deny the fight with de Blasio is about a contract – actually, those talks are over. The contract will be decided by an arbitration panel.

Great! There’s been no public outcry over it, so apparently there’s been no noticeable increase in deaths or property damage.

Let the public experience the difference less authoritarianism brings, and maybe they’ll learn that government “help” isn’t worth the constant hassle of the fines and punishments that pay for them.

De Blasio and politicians within the NYPD can make threats - but who will they get to come out and protest in favor of more traffic stops and more parking tickets? :D

I wonder if this is a case of the system changing, an individual at a time. It's possible police are avoiding unnecessary confrontation in the wake of the Eric Garner mess. No top-down thing, just individual officers reworking the risk/reward matrix in their heads and choosing not to act where a month or two ago they would have.

Until I hear complaints about graffiti or mugging, it looks like broken windows is no longer needed.

from the link:

In 2013, Crain's New York reported that the city took in around $550 million from parking violations. The city's Independent Budget Office told The Times that parking revenue usually averages about $10.5 million a week. Tickets are down 93 percent, which means the city is losing about $9 million a week in parking tickets alone.

If this works - then the next time a group is demanding the right to some free service, the response can be, “Well, do you want us to bring back frequent traffic stops and rampant ticketing? Cause that’s how we pay for those things!”

The real problem in that quote is the word "losing" as it implies that the money is the city's. The city is not "losing" any money from not writing tickets.

Another story that makes one feel like they are reading the onion. I am not even sure how to react anymore. I only hope that as many New Yorkers as possible read this article

winner.
The irony is that if people stopped double parking (etal), the tyrants would all starve to death, yet not one word of thanks from them.

Their yearly budget (the city of New York) is over 700 billion and it's not enough?
