The department will charge cops internally in all 12 Bronx precincts — and possibly other boroughs — for allegedly helping out friends and family by “losing” paperwork and missing court dates. In turn, parking tickets, moving violations and quality-of-life summonses would be dismissed in court or vanish before ever getting near a judge.
About half of the two dozen targets of the criminal inquiry into ticket fixing are officials with the police unions, a law enforcement official has said. Mr. Mullins said he knows of one phone paid for by the sergeants’ association that was wiretapped as part of the investigation into ticket fixing.
Mr. Mullins said he wondered how much union business the wiretap picked up.
“If they’re up on a wiretap, at what point do they not have the right to listen to union activity?” he asked of prosecutors and investigators.
Doesn’t anyone in our various governments speak English any more?
What in the name of all that is holy is a “quality-of-life summons”?
