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.

Some towns still have ancient laws on the books that if a “horseless carriage” enters town, there must be a person walking and waving a red lantern a certain distance ahead of it. But the laws are not enforced.

This is that sort of law.

And yeah, the wrong driver and he’s gonna learn a valuable lesson - if he survives it...

I imagine most folks he reports would say to him “Thanks for helping me take responsibility for my shameful and wasteful behavior. This fine will help me to be a better person now. Who do I make the $600 dollar check out to?”

Of course it would be a bicyclist, rudest most selfish people on the road. May somebody beat him senseless.

The rules are always different for lefties - not surprised in NYC it’s “snitches get riches”.

Then I guess the snitchy left would be okay with setting up a program like this for illegals?

You know you could make some seriously good money if you got $100 for every illegal you turned in.

But back to this little leftistard, he may have made a mistake getting all this out on social media. It would certainly be Karma if he got a good beating a couple times

Yep. Except the helmet law. He may need one though once he slams into an opening door.
