Okay, Did you get your ticket in Manhattan on Riverside Drive by the 125th street Park or on the Palisades Interstate Parkway by Bear Montain? LOL
The surrounding roads that border or immediately connect the park are fair game. Old Trooper is correct...they must be writing in their "geographical area of employment." And according to the CPL, section 34-a. If you are zipping up Riverside Drive and pass the Park on 125th Street.....don't be surprised to see them behind you with lighst on for any VTL they can find. As for up by Bear Mountain....same as you pass through teh varios sectons on Route 6 or the Palisades.
We had a NYS Parks guy call for assistance one day...stopped a lady using radar...she was police but refused to give him her docs because she was outside the park and he was a "guard" in her words. She called 911...we showed up. Instead of warning and admonsihing, she was hammered with VTL summonses and the....continued acting up...so after the Parks Officer was done, my partner slapped her with a disorderly conduct summons and a unreasonable noise summons.
-In God we trust. All others, put your hands on the car and don't move.
