NY wants you to turn in folks who leave their car idling.

Because they're poisoning the children...

The DEP will have the final discretion on the pay out, but depending on the incident, this could mean thousands of dollars offered for people to turn in their neighbors for victimless crimes.

The Thought Police are here.

Fines for violating the idling vehicle law would range from between $350 and $1,500. If the same offender is caught again within a two-year period the fine will jump to a range between $440 and $2,000.

THE HELL? How is that not a legally excessive fine?

The DEP even says they will offer “training” for people who want to go around “catching” citizens on video leaving their cars idling. This “training” will be offered five days every year.

Looks like the homeless have a new career as living security drones.

Does this apply to commercial vehicles, like 18-wheelers and dump trucks?

Holy shit. I could make rent just looking out my window at the loading dock across the street. Fuck that. I could retire.

I don't think anyone would have the balls to report a teamster.

I don't give a concrete-entombed Jimmy Hoffa fuck.
