This is a fascinating gold mine of police hypocrisy. An NYPD officer’s wife was given a speeding ticket by an MTA officer, which is the police force for the transit system. Feel free to check out the link, but I took the highlights (which are many), because I can’t help but think that this would be removed from their website as it is too embarrassing for them, but maybe the whole website is like this.
The comments from the site are in normal font. My comments are italicized.

It’s important for me to get in touch with shield #2300 and ask him why he felt it necessary to say “I’m not even going to look at that” to my PBA card and proceed to write a speeding ticket on the Bronx River Parkway yesterday afternoon to my fukking WIFE!!!!!!!!!!!!
I’ll show him the courtesy he so sorely lacks by not posting his name on a public forum.
Any help would be appreciated. Please inbox me.
I will find you.
The PBA (Police Benevolence Association) card is a union card that they can give to their friends to receive special treatment from other cops. Obviously, this reveals a huge integrity issue in the whole system. This first comment is outrageous enough. There are dozens more.

Guys who do that really think that they are NEVER going to retire.
But, when they least expect it, sometimes with WAY less than 20 years, they fall, trip, get stepped on, then go sick….but then the department doctor tells them, “Well, you’re finished….” At that time, they go into panic mode knowing their days of “authority” are over.
They then compensate by seeking the same “courtesy” that they themselves refused to extend, and are shocked…and demoralized…when it isn’t.
Even if you don’t run into him (not literally, of course), he’ll soon find out, “what goes around comes around.”
And I’m sure your post will be posted in at least one or two MTA locker rooms……
They must be used to receiving a lot of special treatment.

MTA PD has no quota system. Your wife was an easy target most are pussies.

MTA PD has its own Highway. I’ve met a few. Biggest tools in the box.

We’re not talking a cousin’s cousin’s plumber, or the mailman with a PBA card, either. I give out exactly two per year. One to her, one to my uncle, who’s as good as a father to me. Siblings don’t have one, best friends don’t get one.
There are multiple metro north stations in my command. Like I said, I will find you.
I’ve always felt that a cop’s immediate family: mom, dad, wife or husband, and children is more sacred and should be treated with more respect than the cop him or herself. Those are the people he turns to when the uniform is off.
I’ve escorted moms, dads, and kids on aided jobs to the hospital and just sat with them BSing until the cop was able to get there just so both he and they knew someone was there for them.
I’m beside myself.

MTA is similar to the U.S. Govt it’s a criminal organization. Theft is from commuters every day and passed on through outrageous salaries and pensions.
Helloooooo? Look in the mirror, Mr. NYPD.

Thats really disheartening . That c*cksucker He should have said tell your husband I said to slow down and have a nice Thanksgiving. Un schooled dickhead. I always made a point t teach the youngsters to always give moms dads and wives a pass. Please WTF is wrong with this world.

take it to court,
demand discovery then an adjournment, then after he testifies demand to see his qualification certificate, the fcc lic. for unit, and the testing certification paperwork for the unit used to cloick the wife. whern he fails to produce demand a dissmissal
This seems like good advice for fighting a traffic ticket.

That MTA cop is a tool, having said that whyindafuck does the MTA need a highway unit??? see this is the kinda bullsh*t that makes me wonder if the U.S. is creeping towards a Gestapo state the MTA is Trains and Buses NOT Highways and Cars. Can someone from the MTA explain that one to me or am I missing something?
Is the U.S. creeping towards a Gestapo state? Absolutely. And here’s a news flash for this guy: The other guys aren’t the problem; he’s the problem. The NYPD is the problem. It wasn’t the MTA that choked Eric Garner to death for selling loose cigarettes.
And this is a good reminder for all of us to hold ourselves to the same standard we hold others. Don’t call the cops willy nilly, because it could be a death sentence for the person you’re calling on. Another example is condemning someone for taking Obamacare benefits while sending our kids to public school. How will anyone live by God’s law if the Christians won’t?

They need a hwy unit to have the pension.
They had to show they do other than ride trains and hide and call the real police
When !!@# happens.
Summons isnt police work. Its a tool for doing police work.
Our hwy tools need to know that.

I agree 110% if you don’t respect my immediate family then you don’t respect me or your chosen profession. They need to be put on blast for us and their coworkers to shame or defend.

I have to give complements to a Young Officer by NY’s Bear Mountain Bridge, It was late, I was on Route 6 in a Hurry to get to NYC, at the Circle, I stopped Properly, and did see the Officers Cruiser at the Right Hand Side, as I entered the Circle, the lights to the Cruiser turned on, he proceeded to stop me, I immediately pulled over, as he approached I informed him I was retired from the NYPD, I handed him my retired ID, he glanced at it looked at me, most likely comparing Photo to my present appearance, handed it back, with a “Have a Nice Day” I replied Thank you with the added words, “have a safe tour”, and was back on my way to NYC.

Different Breed of men now. Most are scared of their own shadow.
Thank you, thank you, thank you!!! This is what I’ve been saying for a long time now. When I say it, cop worshipers gang up on me. What can they say when a cop says it?
—————————————————–
Overpaid security guard with police status. why the F do they have or need ESU, and especially HIGHWAY UNIT!
Fake ass dept. Waste of funds.
They had to call in real cops to take over Penn Station.
Is he talking about MTA or NYPD, because from where I’m sitting, they’re all just a bunch of power-tripping losers. Since this nation has rejected God’s law, it is rule by force, and they are all just wearing costumes.

I can’t wrap my mind around writing a fellow officers wife’s a ticket. Take solace that the officer probably lives a miserable life. We have a officer down here that was well know for writing officers tickets. He is now assigned to property room inventorying crow bars. I hope that punk officer gets his pay back soon.
Cops expect to not receive the treatment they dish out. Sickening!
