On Tuesday, the Mayor's Office and the NYPD announced to drivers that the sheriff's office will tow and potentially auction off vehicles with fake and illegal license plates. The NYPD has issued 16,448 tickets and towed over 1,700 vehicles since July 2021.
Lightfoot has spent months arguing the lower ticketing threshold is about safety -- not revenue. On Wednesday she changed her tune again in her strongest argument yet on the revenue front.
The speed camera system went active in early May to help police slow down speeding drivers. Dozens of people have taken to Facebook over the last few weeks saying they were ticketed and shouldn't have been.
