"The 120th Precinct of Staten Island trounced the other three precincts on The Rock to win the crown. During their two preliminary battles, Inspector Eric Waldhelm's cops showed themselves to be true parking madness champions: they park wherever the fuck they want, they drive their personal vehicles with abject disregard for their neighbors, they block Richmond Terrace with their combat-parked squad cars, and they even have their own traffic rules."
"It's worth noting that no precinct commander has ever actually accepted the Streetsblog trophy in the past, but we were hopeful. Here's how it all went down in another edition of Gersh Kuntzman's 'Old Man Vertical' (with music by Jimmy and the Jaywalkers)."
"A driverless car traveled without issue down Broadway through heavy traffic. The demonstration ended when it crashed into a vehicle full of photographers documenting the event. It was 1925. A century later, Waymo's eight AVs quietly stopped testing on those same streets."
The 120th Precinct of Staten Island dominated the March Madness competition, showcasing a blatant disregard for parking regulations and neighborly conduct. Inspector Eric Waldhelm's officers parked indiscriminately, blocked streets, and operated under their own traffic rules. The trophy presentation was notable as no precinct commander had previously accepted it. Additionally, a historical reference was made to the impact of new technologies on urban environments, highlighting concerns raised by experts about the implications of driverless cars.
