The NYT’s Katie Rosman shared this photo sent to her by a public school teacher in NYC who got a parking ticket, despite putting a note on her dashboard, while running into her school to pick up supplies so that she can teach from home:
Sent to me yesterday by my friend who is a @NYCSchools teacher.
“I drove to school today so I could bring supplies home so I can teach. I couldn’t find a legal parking spot. This is disgusting.”
See note in the windshield. pic.twitter.com/an4jdWxePs

When I lived in NYC during the blackout of 2003, I remember walking home uptown and seeing parking enforcement officers giving out tickets while ordinary citizens were directing traffic at the intersection which had gone dark:

So, where’s city management on this?

Just horrible. And I’m sure the cop was doing what they were instructed to do. But where does the buck stop @NYPDShea?

We suspect they’re under orders to keep giving out tickets:
exactly…they're ordered to do this.

Over to you, mayor:
You should fix this, @BilldeBlasio.
