then the world....or maybe just Rocky Point...


Parking illegally in Massapequa Park? Even with no officers in sight, you will be watched -- from the pavement below.
And you could be fined.
Village trustees Monday approved a two-month, no-cost trial to embed electronic sensors in 50 spots near the Park Boulevard business center. The sensors notify code enforcement officers of illegally parked cars.
When a vehicle stops over a sensor, the wireless disc transmits a signal to officers' cellphones. With real-time notification, the officer can then go to the site to issue a warning or a $25 ticket. The village, without any meters, now relies on four patrolling officers, typically two per shift, to monitor parking problems.

Isnt this a wonderful example of using modern technology. Can't wait until they install speeding technology soon.

Obey the rules.....

Red light cameras, tickets settled online, parking sensors, speed sensors...

Technology is replacing millions of jobs. Before you know it, half the PD will be obsolete. I'm actually kinda surprised NYC (the ultimate nanny state with code enforcement officers that look & act like robots) doesn't have this already.

My former neighbor, Fat Vito, isn't going to be happy. He was the parking police of the block. He's going to want the code guys to wet his beak a little.

As much as I hate the nanny state stuff, I think they would make a serious killing in Cedarhurst and help curb a lot of the parking problems.

Considering there really arent any major parking issues in the Village this sounds totally unnecessary. The article points out one spot, in front of an Italian ice store, that has a right turn lane. You do occasionally have the moron that wont walk and does park there...but the Ice store is open only in the warmer months. I don't see why this is necessary. I just can't see those little old code enforcers racing in their cars to ticket someone who may only be illegally parking for a couple of minutes.

This beats having parking meters, that's for sure.

Maybe Mass Park has a patent on this technology and all village residents will become millionaires from the royalties collected... not, but wishful thinking.
