POLICE REFUSAL TO ENFORCE “REVENUE CRIMES” LEADS TO PUSHBACK: No Vacations For NYPD Until Slowdown Ends.

“Everyone here is under orders — no time off” during the summons catch-up blitz, said one cop at the 105th Precinct in Queens.

“And the majority of [new] summonses written aren’t protecting the public in any way.”

This announcement was posted inside an NYPD station house.

“But now they’re realizing how much revenue the city is losing and they’re enforcing their will upon us,” he said.

So the city’s basically admitting that the NYPD is primarily a tool for extracting money from the citizenry in an arbitrary fashion.
