This NYPD Officer Has Handed Out the Most Bicycle Summonses in the City
(DNAINFO) James Fanelli — A scooter-driving NYPD veteran burned through his summons book during the past three years, handing out a record number of tickets to rule-breaking bicyclists pedaling around the Upper West Side.
Officer Joshua Vincek issued 1,249 tickets to bicyclists between Jan. 1, 2012, and Feb. 26, 2015 — far more than anyone else in the police department, according to records obtained by DNAinfo New York.
A review of state Department of Motor Vehicles data shows that during that period, the NYPD issued a total of 51,841 tickets to cyclists, with the number of summonses growing sharply each year.
