Carol the whole thing was insane. He could have given you a warning especially after seeing your license was clean.

In NY every officer has a ticket quota. That is why they have some favored hot zones that the hide and park at when the end of the month comes.

While officers do put their lives on the line every day (my brother is a NYPD officer) I do have to say some of them are super zealous with the tickets. A good example is a couple years ago my mom was given a ticket by an officer for the decorative thing that goes around the license plate. He was only supposed to give one ticket but chose to give mom two. When my brother called him and identified himself to question it the cop told him sorry man I didn't know she was an officer's mom. I hit her with the two tickets because the month is almost over and I needed numbers.

While some places outside of NY may not have quotas all the preceints here do. The numbers differ from preceint to preceint....but they do have their quotas to make.
