Must-read article from #HellGate about a New Yorker (who happens to be a #LegalAid attorney) and her dog, who both got busted by the #NYPD early in the pandemic for her (the attorney) daring to exercise her legal rights by filming the cops' activities on a #NYC street.
Harassment and intimidation accomplished, of course charges were dropped.

I got excited thinking that this would be a nice N-S and E-W network of protected bike lanes in a place that didn't have any before, but then I saw that the E-W route was a "conventional bike lane".
It's 2023, drivers park on every available surface in #NYC, and we're installing brand new paint-only bike lanes while we also have a legal mandate to install #PBLs. Such 💩.
