Court Order for Bicyclist
An Israeli bochur who drives with an American license was taken by surprise today when he was stopped by a policeman on the corner of Empire Blvd. and Kingston Avenue and issued a ticket because he had briefly driven off the street and onto the sidewalk. When he laughed and appeared to take the summons lightly, even though he accepted the ticket, the cop then issued him a court order. Passersby who saw the incident stopped to try and help, but were also threatened with court orders, so they quickly dispersed. More

It’s about time we have an effective community council, This would never happend in Borogh Park of Williamsburg.
A young bochur riding his bicycle on Albany Avenue near Empire Blvd was stopped by a Police Officer due to the fact that he was riding on the sidewalk.
