New York City - Ex-parking Violations Judge Trying To Evade Paying His Own Parking Tickets
New York City - A former judge at the city's Parking Violations Bureau thought he could beat the system and evade paying $12,000 in 167 of his own parking tickets, but now he got his law license suspended for trying.
Glenn Caldwell was barred from practice for the next three years by a state appeals court that found his behavior "appalling."
The panel of judges said, and Caldwell, 56, must pay the price for attempting to beat the tickets by using insider's knowledge of the system.
He slyly ordered vanity license plates for two family cars, "intentionally requesting a combination of letters and numbers that he knew would provide him with a technical defense to any summons issued to those cars."
Caldwell's plate numbers, 4GZ-Z50 and Y50-V26, were often confused for regular plates by ticket agents and cops, a mistake that could be a basis for voiding a summons.
Much of the evidence came from the PVB's supervising administrative law judge, who had taken photos of Caldwell's illegally parked car, after becoming suspicious.
