A Queens city councilman, Dan Halloran (R), is claiming that he witnessed a local police officer blowing through a stop sign while talking on a cell phone. He knew the cop was not responding to a call so he followed him to a–get this–Dunkin Donuts and began taking pictures of his vehicle. That’s when the cop gave him a bogus contempt-of-cop ticket, supposedly for blocking a crosswalk.

“The traffic agents spend a lot of time ticketing in my community and yet they feel they’re above the law,” Halloran said. “If he did this to a city councilman and lied about the facts … imagine what he does to average citizens.”

Halloron not only wants his ticket dropped, he wants every ticket ever written by the offending officer reviewed. Right on, Halloran. Assuming he’s telling the truth, I wish him luck. Maybe, with the help of his position on the city council, he’ll actually have some success.
