At the corner of Court Street and Martine Avenue in downtown WP the Westchester county police have parked multiple vehicles illegally for years. The county cops are nowhere to be seen and they certainly are not engaging in any kind of emergency activity, just the opposite. These appear to be regular daily parking spots.
1. This makes the county police look like scofflaws.
2. It also indicates that the WP police enforce the law arbitrarily. This is true in many other cases like the police helping and protecting parishioners park illegally every Sunday in front of a church, which shall remain nameless.
There are obvious and easy solutions to both situations. Simply pass an ordinance and change the signs from "no parking any time" to something that reflects the reality of what the WP police will tolerate. The fact that both these situations have existed for years illustrates the laziness of the city government.
Do a better job. Do the right thing.
