Local Media comes to my rescue..
Our intrepid crime fighting Mayor understood the ramifications of supporting me. On one hand,if the Mayor took the position against the NYPD's actions at the Bx.Zoo and decided it was
wrong to activate a traffic light and then hide behind the trees and shrubs and ticket unsuspecting drivers (thousands over 6 years) he'd would have a serious problem. Undoing the wrongs by the police would require tons of paperwork,millions of dollars in returned fines and don't forget 4 people died in traffic accidents at the zoo gate,most likely by the sudden stopping of traffic by these wicked cops who found a "good thing" at the zoo. The Police Commissioner had the same dilemma. They sure as hell wasn't going to "give back anything" for it would open a Pandora's Box and a rush of defendants wanting their money back as well as points removed from their driver's license and any insurance hikes caused by the unjust actions of a few bad cops. Rudy was a former US Attorney a knew a can of worms when he saw one. On the other hand, Rudy being aware a "stinker " of a bench warrant with my name on it from 1982, was his way out of this hot button issue,1997 was also an election year and with the Abner Louima "(plunger up his rectum) " still in the news my case just complicated matters for him. But how to save face? Fortunately for me the press was on my side,they believed, as well as the Office of the Public Advocate that arresting a critic who reported police misconduct was uncalled for. In 2 day I'd learn why I was arrested,jailed and then quickly released.(I was being set-up).
If anyone knows how to help me scan and file into this computer please reach out to me.I'd love
to post the newspaper stories. Rudy will continue to come under fire from the local media. Meanwhile the Public Advocate calls for and submits a written request into the arrest of Jimmy
for speaking out publicly against Rudy and His cops. That same day Jim Dwyer a four star editorialist for the NY.Daily News calls me for more information and writes a scathing story denouncing Rudy,it's titled,"Tattler's ticket bust bad signal for NYPD"Dwyer begins with this. Only One honest explanation exists for the arrest of Jimmy,he was being punished for criticizing
the NYPD. Jimmy spoke out against a redlight trap set up by Bronx cops. Hours after Jimmy's complaints made the front page,2 police sergeants were at his door putting him in handcuffs. They had suddenly discovered Jimmy didn't pay a ticket in 1984. The case was tossed in 90 seconds. This was not a couple of sergeants playing a game of freelance tough guys. This banana republic clown act was cleared at the highest ranks of the Police Department in 1 Police Plaza.
After Jimmy took his complaint to Mark Green the police suddenly took an interest in Jimmy's ticket from 1984. When Jimmy was issued that redlight ticket 8 weeks earlier no one made a fuss but when you go to the press,watch out ! Dwyer continues, no one applauds someone running a redlight,if there is a problem then fix it. Instead, it is obvious no one cares about safety. This is yet another gimmick for running up traffic ticket tallies with the cops behaving like "Smokey and the Bandit" rednecks in a two bit speed trap. This is more subtle than a plunger in the rectum. But it is still the act of a police department behaving like "tin-pot terrorists". The following day I called Jim Dwyer and thanked him for the support but more was soon to come. This time Rudy will metaphorically "stick the official NYC plunger up my rectum"
