New Yorker says reporting idling vehicles makes him over six figures (2.5 minute video)

In New York City, it's against the law for trucks and non-city buses to idle -- keeping the engine running while stationary -- for more than three minutes. However, the law is rarely enforced. That's where the big money comes in. James Brown reports.

***** He rides around on his bicycle 6 hours per day looking for idling trucks. He records this on his phone. He gets 25% of the fine which can be from $200 to $600.

If true, the guy is a dumb@ss for publicizing and inviting competition to a gig with such low entry fees.

Day truckers in the 5 boroughs are not passive guys. This soy boy just set himself up for a major ass beating and the loss of his phone and bicycle.

Bad idea to publicize himself and let his photo out - he’s going to get some serious attention from the wrong characters.

Shoulders and hips the same width, small face, small hands and breasts, that is a woman. She's probably taking testosterone to get the thick neck and facial hair.

This agent of the State is likely going to get the sh*t beaten out of him one of these days. Or worse.

He's making the kind of enemies that will be his undoing in the long run.

No doubt. There’s no shortage of aholes looking for a buck. With a low cost to enter the market, he may have just put himself out of business

You can take the girl out of a Karen, but you can't take the Karen out of the girl...

If he is pulling in six figures, Big Brother may soon be watching him a bit more closely.

The driver can deny they were idling. How does this state informant prove how long the vehicle idled?
