A SERIOUS PROPOSAL: Parking Enforcers should help protect our children

This is a serious proposal. Let’s ask the City to add an additional responsibility to the tasks of the Parking Enforcement Agents, who patrol Borough park relentlessly all day long.

You can see them all over the streets, going up and down, looking everywhere for an opportunity to rip off some poor shlub.

Recently, they were transferred from the Department of Traffic to the Police Department–now they’re imbued with the authority of the Police. If you dare argue with them, you will be arrested, and, maybe, jailed.

So, if they’re part of the Police force, let them do some REAL policing. Give them the job of patrolling Borough park and looking for any signs of criminal activity.

Let’s, at least, get our money’s worth from these “HIghwaymen!”
