Point? Not that I expect one.

.

The one point in the article that totally defines stupidity, not sanity, is this:

"Already, the city’s drivers have collectively enjoyed a minor windfall in parking tickets not written. As a cable contractor in New York City, Gary Jeffers often has no choice but to double-park, resigning himself to a pile of parking tickets. In recent weeks, however, he has been able to double-park for longer without fear of being cited, he said.

“Of course that’s a good thing, because the traffic officers just want your money,” he said on Tuesday morning in Queens. “Now I have the right to park a bit more.”

The right? Yes, herein lies the issue between the public and the law.

Sanity is the reduction in the current Police State. Any voluntary reduction of that army is exactly what our founding fathers wanted. It is great that by voluntary actions the officers in NY are showing the path to sanity.
