Big 'Schvitzer' gets arrested on Palisades Parkway
A Brooklyn man faces various traffic charges after a woman told state police he used a siren and lights to keep her from merging onto the Palisades Interstate Parkway.
She told troopers she was trying to merge onto the parkway at Exit 10 when the car sped up as she tried to merge, blocking her entry. The woman said she then slowed to pull into the right lane behind the vehicle. The driver then slowed and activated some kind of siren as her path was blocked again.
The woman followed the car and wrote down the license-plate numbers. When she reached Troop F on Thiells-Mount Ivy Road, she pulled into the station and made a complaint. A short while after the complaint was made, troopers stopped a 1989 light blue Lincoln Continental traveling northbound on the Palisades Interstate Parkway near Exit 18, operated by a 38-year-old Brooklyn man.
The car had several red emergency lights, a switch-activated siren and heavily tinted windows, which impaired the view into the car, troopers said.
The man was charged with misdemeanor reckless driving, police said, and other misdemeanor charges were expected to be filed when he is due to return to the post, the troopers also impounded the Lincoln. Now, without a car, he can put the lights and sirens on his bicycle.

I'm suprised those socalled troopers knew how to do anything other than pull people over for a quick buck. I thought that all they were good for was to make money for burgen county and alpine property tax payers. It must have been a state trooper at exit 18 not one of those PIP flat foots. Be carefull near exit 2 on the pip. They lowered the real speed limit. I hope their court gets struck by lightning!
