NYPD officers, protesting a plan to take away some of their vacation days if they botch traffic-ticket cases, are writing thousands fewer tickets—and that means a lot less dough in city coffers, The Post has learned.
While parking violations cost drivers as little as $35, the minimum moving violation brings the city a hefty $90. Given that there were 5,468 fewer parking violations and 7,091 fewer moving violations for the week, the city lost at least $829,570.
Because of the slowdown and revenue drain, brass are now actually considering backing off by taking away fewer days, sources said. But even that doesn’t sit well with the rank-and-file.
The department has set up stings to see if cops are still trying to fix tickets for pals.
