NEW YORK (PIX11) – The Department of Justice is warning the NYPD to stop illegally parking police cruisers on sidewalks and other areas where they shouldn’t be parked.
The issue is so widespread that it has become a civil rights violation against people with disabilities, federal officials said. City-owned vehicles are also part of the problem, according to the DOJ.
The DOJ said the police department needs to create a better parking policy and retrain officers.
Federal officials also said the public needs to be able to submit complaints, and that drivers should face penalties.
