NYPD Threatens Cars with Tickets while stuck in traffic

This NYPD vehicle at Rockefeller Center responding to an emergency gets pretty impatient with all the black taxis parked in a no standing zone, threatening them with a $115 summons after coming back in 5 minutes, as well as drivers who won't pull through the red traffic light.

[@AM-zr6sd]

This is the reality of the situation. These officers working in the city have to stress with this. It’s not fair that they can’t get to their emergency without there being illegally parked cars everywhere. Eventually someone has to take action or else no one would understand and become chaotic. This doesn’t just affect the police, but also EMS workers and firefighters in New York City.

[@aishaali5495]

Exactly they need to go to there emegergency even with the rumbler they can move they dont get brakes off they just have to work oh and when the officer passes by they well be moving

[@worlwr2]

Well thing is the very organization responding to an emergency in the video is responsible for ticketing and clearing illegally parked, standing, or stopped vehicles citywide yet they don't seem to give it enough effort or thought. Also new legislation should up the fines by a large amount to make it financially insane for commercial motorists to ignore these regulations and pin it to the 'cost of doing business' that their company's supervisors likely tell them to and make private motorists comply with these small yet important rules so that loading zones will be clear for commercial motorists. For a city with one of the lowest car ownership in the country, we sure worship private motor vehicles and their storage on public ways for literally no reason.

[@toocheaptobuycolognes3681]

@@JukeboxJoeB Well, for one, multiple cars would be likely passing through that intersection; that can be one clue. And with all the high tech stuff we have nowadays, it wouldn't be impossible for their red light cameras to already decline giving tickets to vehicles where an emergency vehicle was passing through. I am quite sure that if you have been caught in a red light camera ticket, it should also catch the emergency vehicle with the ticket, thus declining all of them. I have run reds for emergency vehicles for over three years, and have never been ticketed with a red light ticket because of it. Either way, invest in a car camera; they are valuable for more reasons than just that.

You know this is ridiculous. I think the worst was watching pedestrians cross the street when there was a police car with its lights on and sirens blaring. One thing that might help is setting up the traffic lights so emergency vehicles can get flick a switch and the lights are fixed so their vehicle can driv3 right through green lights. Too bad if drivers don't like it.

[@BadDriversOfNapa]

Very interesting. In my state, going through a red light in order to make way for an emergency vehicle is purely optional. An officer, fireman, or EMS cannot force someone to run a red light. If the person did run a red and then caused a crash, the police department, fire dept or EMS company would be liable. Though I think drivers should run the red only if safe to do so. We also aren't allowed to pull to the left to make way. Our law dictates that we must always pull to the right to make way. It's a messed up law because sometimes the only option is to pull left, or keep going if stopping would block their way.

[@cassie_to_heart734]

All the more reasons why traffic should keep one lane clear specifically the fire lanes and I'm assuming some of the taxis are taking up these marked lanes. And when they don't, that's when NYPD has to get tough on these drivers that have to now pave way for the police unit, and with bumper to bumper traffic, certainly, that's not gonna help it. You're right that ems can't force a vehicle to proceed the light, but ultimately, it all comes to the officer's discretion and would be solved by telling the drivers on the PA to 'drive through the intersection safely...' and of course up to the drivers themselves as you pointed out. However, any drivers in front of any emergency vehicle could've gone as I bet some choose not to run the light because it would be an inconvenience for them creating an inconvenience for the police. All in all, I feel for any ems in NYC traffic that are trying to get wherever it is they're going, the camera guy is able to keep up with a police unit... BY FOOT!... no wonder how congested of a nighmare NYC really is.

Solution: Where I live, all major intersections to the scene are controlled traffic lights. When an incident is active all lights go green for the FD, EMS, PD. Side roads go red and a blue light strobes or rotates to let drivers know emergency vehicles are coming. Federal signal corp should include Ludicris's song "MOVE BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY, GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, GET OUT THE WAY BITCH, MOVE BITCH GET OUT THE WAY" into their siren option with the rumbler.

Point being, there's no on road solution for this shit. The DMV, police department, and city council have to vastly and desperately increase their efforts on completely removing and fully preventing dipshits from driving any vehicle so those of us that use the roadways properly and safely can move freely.

Ever been to NYC? There's like a cop every ten feet haha

[@redd7188]

I went and hoped to see a lot of NYPD officers . I didn't really see that many. Is it just for certain parts of the city?

[@evag6370]

There are so many jobs I would never want. Trying to get anywhere in NYC even with sirens seems like just WTF NOT HAPPENING.

[@jacobsstuff2361]

3:20 what is that big pipe in the middle of the road?

[@blue-nw1og]

Forreal

[@jacobsstuff2361]

What do you mean by forreal?

[@kkfishrick6012]

Wow it’s just like in gta 4 when multiple cars of the same model would spawn together.

[@TOMVVVV]

I think the cops would be faster by walking because they stuck in traffic.

[@Emka877]

Honestly they Would respond faster by foot or bike

[@ShiroX111]

When the cop plays with the sirens: 2:16

[@Christopher-i3l]

And they think congestion pricing is going too fix this 😂

[@one277]

I work in wisconsin and people have a hard enough time moving over... i dont know how nypd does it... crazy!

[@N1tr0u5]

Police should use bikes in nyc as it would be easier to filter through traffic

[@cybernaab]

That siren sounds like an 80s arcade/pinbal game

[@anonymousjohn386]

Not saying it should be done but the sidewalk looked like the clear way to go.

[@michaelmorales1475]

Lol, I've seen this happen a few times, I've also seen Bus Drivers do this.

[@CarlsGarage1]

These drivers are waiting on VIPs and actors from the NBC station.

Which NONE OF THEM are allowed to do in a NO STANDING ANYTIME LANE / ZONE. You cannot even WAIT for passengers in a NO STANDING ZONE at all. All they can do is expeditiously pick up and drop off people, as in get the fuck out or be ready at the curb to get the fuck in. Listen to the video, even the cop says what the sign is over the PA. It's fucking stupid that cops have to treat grown adults like goddamn children that can't read.
