There was a case back in the 90's where some NC officers saw the need to ticket some Newsday delivery trucks to show their displeasure for some bad press. The trucks were ticketed for speeding, fortunately for the drivers, all the Newsday trucks had speed governors to limit their speed and their tickets were dismissed.
As do I. It's pretty well known that the PBA incites their members to "play games". Anyone who thinks this is just a coincidence is either 1) an SCPD or NCPD officer or a family member or 2) needs to think harder. This is so obvious even Ray Charles could see it ...
Remember when Levy took the SCPD off Sunrise and the LIE back in 2008? Well for weeks afterwards off duty SCPD officers would purposely speed on the Expressway and Sunrise and then act like jackasses when a SCSO deputy sheriff pulled them over. Oh and then there was the incident where they verbally harassed a female deputy sheriff at her relief point. The SCPD also made it a point to refuse to offer "courtesy" to family members of deputy sheriffs.
The NCPD and SCPA PBAs are basically an organized crime group ... they control politics with their votes and campaign donations.
I remember hearing it in the news about the Levy/SCPD brawling. I don't live in Suffolk though so I never had to experience it.
Add the teachers' union to controlling politics with their votes and campaign donations.
Does anyone here really think that certain NCPD rank and file are somehow above using these sort of punitive intimidation tactics? Are we forgetting the NCPD cop who shot the cabbie in Huntington? What does that incident say about the mentality of some of these guys?

On the highway or local roads? That's dangerous to speed limit them like that.
You know, maybe there just isn't more to this story. People drive like jerks all the time in the 5 Towns area, maybe the officers were really just giving them a break, possibly to convince them otherwise on the restructuring?

Governed to do 60 doesn't mean you can't get a summons for doing 50 in a 30

True but from what I recall that was not the case, I believe it was a highway, in any event the tickets were issued for speeding above what the delivery trucks were capable and they were dismissed followed by an apology.

It's possible but 2 moving violations or pullovers for one family is pretty rare, seems like a rather large coincidence.
Sorry off on the year it was April 2000, Newsday was publishing the 2nd of 3 articles critical of NCPD. Thye had governors limiting them to 65 and tickets were written above that.
"I'm doing my job. I have nothing to say to you."
Thus did Nassau Police Officer Charles Cole dismiss questions about his
day's work Tuesday, when 14 of the 15 tickets written on the Long Island
Expressway were issued to the drivers of Newsday trucks and 11 of those 14 were written by the zealous officer Cole.
Another interesting part of the story that is pertinent to the preceinct closings.
"One of the most astonishing disclosures related to the number of officers
assigned to jobs that keep them off the streets. Only 44 percent of Nassau
police respond to service calls. The rest shuffle papers, answer phones, train or administer. This does not compare well with other departments"
