NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – A video has gone viral after a Long Island man recorded a police officer who threatened to ticket him if he washed his car in the driveway. As WCBS 880′s Sophia Hall reported Friday, the incident happened on Hawthorne Road in Garden City. The 24-year-old said he was washing his 1997 Volkswagen in his driveway when a police officer told him he wasn’t allowed to do that.

The officer said although the car wasn’t going to be washed in the street, which is illegal, washing it in the driveway would still be in the public’s view, Hall reported. No one received a ticket during the ordeal and The Garden City Police Department had no comment about the incident.

I know a thing or five about radio transmitters, and if you operate within the parameters set out by the FCC (and I am quite sure after reading your story you do), then there was no way you caused that busybody any interference. But you already knew that.

I’d have done the same things, and enjoyed it at least much as you did. The pink dish was great. Most people use those for chips and dip. I’d have probably done more to encourage her to think you were burning her brain (?) out.

Garden City is unique entity. The police have two functions- one is to keep the border safe from the Hempstead inhabitants and the other is raise revenue by stopping landscaping trucks passing thru.

Yup. I used to work in Garden City and live in Hempstead. I crossed the line between them many, many times. You can probably see that line from Pluto.

Garden City NJ

This is Garden City, NY, which is in Nassau County on Long Island. It's a rich town.

NJ isn’t part of NY?? I guess you’ll be telling me next that Connecticut isn’t part of NY too! :-)

Well, there is a town in NJ called West New York, so it can be confusing :)

Don't remember who posted it, but every piece of cheap Chinese electronics that ships to this country has printed in its user manual a paragraph that states the device may not CAUSE interference, but must ACCEPT it.

Given it's hard to find anything actually MADE here in the good ol' USA anymore, her cheap Chinese computer speakers were the culprit not me.

I actually do ask a few of my neighbors who I trust to tell me, if I'm causing them any interference. For the last 4 years I've been a licensed Ham, she's been the only one who's complained. I'm a DX chaser so I do on occasion run full legal limit and still -- no complaints about interference. I take pride in running a clean station.

Just reading the article. I have and will never set foot in that part of the country.

I avoid going east of the Mississippi whenever possible.

If you have intimate knowledge of the jack-booted thug jurisdictions, my condolences.

That first picture is a clear cut case of abuse of Speedo.
