In New York City, parking & camera violations are public.
Jesus. Most of these are for speeding in a school zone, which in some states or cities might not be that big of a deal, but in NYC where most people are walking… WTF?
You’d be speeding, too, if you had to get home to make the ziti.
Maybe he should start driving a cab.
Maybe he should fuck off and die.
The problem is his time is worth a lot more than those fines to him.

US Speeding fines are actually significantly lower than fines in Britain, France, Germany, Switzerland, Australia or Asia.
Contrarily to a common myth, US cities/states don’t finance themselves with speeding fines. It’s a tiny drop in the bucket. New York cameras issued $23,5 million in tickets. The annual budget of New York City is $115 billion dollars.
One of the thing you notice on US social media is that several american men (it’s always men!!) call major US cities crime-ridden democratic shitholes. They want harsh punishments for lawbreakers. Cops beat up someone? “He probably deserved it. Respect the law!!” they will say.
These same accounts keep denouncing tickets and speed cameras. They clearly don’t see breaking the law as a bad thing. Some even cheer attacks on cameras (destruction of public property). It’s actually insane these “law and order” folks don’t notice the hypocrisy.
did you see the video of andy basically almost driving into a pedestrian crossing the street? I cannot find that one but here is him turning right on red which is illegal in NYC https://nyc.streetsblog.org/2025/05/28/speed-governor-leadfoot-cuomo-runs-red-light-after-midtown-confab
