NEW YORK CITY — Kareeal Akins still gets chills thinking about the long, frigid walk home that he and his then-pregnant wife were forced to make this past winter after the city seized his car.
At about 9 p.m. on Jan. 24, he drove his white 2002 Honda Accord from his Sheepshead Bay apartment to the corner of Church Avenue and Ocean Parkway in Kensington to pick up his wife, Natalie, from her friend’s home.
He remembers pulling up to the intersection, his wife getting into his car and then a vehicle behind them flashing its sirens.

This sounds like class action lawsuit material for an attorney willing to take it on a contingency fee basis.
Your a baaaaaaaaaad man.....LOL
I’d have told them where to go, since I’m not a taxi driver and they have no authority over me. And then driven away. Let them call the real cops if they don’t like it!

NYC is a Soviet Socialist Republic
“”[The inspectors] told me that [the nuns] gave me money, but they never gave me money,” he said. “They told me that the people I dropped off said they paid me. They definitely did not.”
Making a mistake is one thing. Outright lying is another. You can bet the inspectors pay no price for their lies.

Nice!
Well done.
Be sure to put beeswax in your ears when you flash or they may point and laugh.
Here on FR we sometimes get some really STRANGE references to the classics!
Literacy takes many forms.
(quite imaginative, BTW...)

And when they are willing to lie about nuns, it’s a good bet they will lie about anything and anyone.
