The NYPD is using “Barnacles” to combat illegal parking. They are commercial-grade suction cups that latch onto the glass with 1,000 pounds of force, making forcible removal next to impossible.
@Rainmaker1973 Never understood the concept of locking an illegally parked car in place so that it continues to be in the incorrect area 🤔
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 Me: Pulls out a drill with 1/8" bit.
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 Yes, it makes no sense. It punishes the victim as well as the aggressor.
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 Spite. They hate citizens more than they love functionality.
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 right just tow them shits to a lot in Poughkeepsie and say you need to pay your tickets to get it back
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 “For parking in an illegal area we are going to make your car immobile so you can’t leave the illegal area” -government logic
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 It’s not illegally parked, the car’s owner has outstanding unpaid parking tickets from the past. Must pay tickets to get the boot removed.
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 Revenue Extortion …. Like the bulk of petty traffic regulations intended to supplement the budgets. Meanwhile no accommodation for lawful drivers needing a parking space paid for by their taxes.
@Purrplexion @Rainmaker1973 They usually tow them within 6 hours. Then they can hold the car hostage for hundreds of dollars.
