Common sense 2, NYPD 1
I guess some folks just can't take a compliment from the King & Tyrant™.
No sooner did I give props to the gendarmes of the NYPD for taking Mother Shee-hag and putting a cork in her piehole then they got the big head and went on a power trip.
It's an only in New York story. A woman was given a ticket for sitting on a park bench because she doesn't have children.
Gee, I wonder if this is what Queen Hilarious meant by "laws forcing women to have five children"...?
The Rivington Playground on Manhattan's East Side has a small sign at the entrance that says adults are prohibited unless they are accompanied by a child.Forty-seven-year-old Sandra Catena says she didn't see the sign when she sat down to wait for an arts festival to start. Two New York City police officers asked her if she was with a child. When she said no, they gave her a ticket that could bring a one thousand dollar fine and 90 days in jail.
Damn, she could have gotten a first-class ticket to Miami on American for that. Hope she at least gets a bag of peanuts out of the deal, y'know? 
The city parks department says the rule is designed to keep pedophiles out of city parks, but a parks spokesman told the Daily News that the department hoped police would use some common sense when enforcing the rule.The spokesman told the paper that ticketing a woman in the park in the middle of the day is not the way you want to enforce the rule.
Aw, no!!! Y'think???
Asshats...

The NYPD is famous for writing foolish summonses. I once go a ticket for loitering while I was sitting on the front steps of my Brownstone. It was dismissed but I still had to go to court and fight it. The parking Nazis are even worse!
