Its all a revenue thing. By bringing in the revenue, the cops know they can justify their expense to the city. This isn't just meter maid stuff, this is beat cops being pressured by thier bosses to write tickets for these small infractions. In the meantime, NYC is closing a couple of firehouses.
Instead of harassing Joe Blow and his wife, maybe the cops should focus on doing something about crime rates or doing some of the other community service things like teaching children how to prevent abduction.
