A data analysis shows that nearly 5,000 vehicles eligible for towing for unpaid tickets were not towed over a recent 90-day period. NYPD traffic enforcement agents do not connect to the 'in judgment' database, resulting in officers issuing tickets to vehicles that should have already been towed. This disconnect allows offenders to accumulate significant fines without losing their vehicles. Suggestions include creating a watch list for high-judgment license plates to improve enforcement.
There seems to be no reasoning behind [the city's towing efforts], leading to nearly 5,000 towable cars remaining on the street despite receiving multiple tickets.
NYPD traffic enforcement agents do not connect to the 'in judgment' database, allowing them to write tickets to cars that should already be towed.
The disconnect means 4,817 cars that got a ticket by the NYPD within a 90-day review had enough tickets to get towed.
The city could inform officers to check a list of high-judgment license plates and monitor locations with repeated violations.
