In the latest ticket blitz story, the Daily News reports that a pregnant woman was given a 50 dollar ticket for resting on the subway steps in Brooklyn.
Eighteen-year-old Crystal Rivera says she was ticketed last Tuesday by a female officer at the 86th Street station in Bay Ridge. The News says the pregnant teen told the officer she was tired and resting. It will cost her $50.
A spokesman for the police union says cops on the beat are being pressured to generate cash for the financially strapped city. PBA spokesman Al O'Leary says previously cops would give a warning but now they are being told to write the summons. The Bloomberg Administration says there is no ticket quota for police.
