New Yorker Dies, Ticketed Four Times: Are government officials money-hungry bastards?

that they should have paid more atention n they shouldnt get any money from the tickets that they left

there only doing there job because they want money

geez
they dont care about the law they care about the money

New Yorkers have slipped a yard or two beyond insensitivity.

Probably just overworked and/or incompetent.

obviously they need to make sure that there is noone in there if it already has a ticket on it...I think it's common sense that something might be wrong if the vehicle still has the previous ticket on it.

purrrty much

How the hell did no one check to see if anyone was in there??

Month old dead guy in a van,
Just a typical day in New York

so true

ya they r just scaming us out of our money

uummm...probly!

im not sure, but i guess its not like they would know he was in there,
unless they looked in the car and if he wasnt there someone would have said it was an invasion of privacy, so it wouldnt matter either way.

what a bunch of idiots!

That people need to friggin' pay attention. I mean, honestly wouldn't it click in your mind? "Huh, this person hasn't moved despite three tickets... must just be testing us. Nothing could be wrong." REALLY?!?!?!? Come on, now.

I think they were idiots for not noticing he had died.

A New Yorker Died!

A NEW YORKER DIED!!!!!!!!!!!!!! someone sould get more then four tickets fo that!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

aren"t they all.

That's foul play...

I'm pretty much for both of the above answers. I really don't know my reasoning, but i know that's what i think

4 times they could have taken a closer look one would think.

I wonder what was the cause of death, and where was his family? Did they file a missing person's report? That just goes to show that you'll never know when, where, and how you'll die...

how did they not notice a rotting body in the back seat!?!?!

Look who's catching on.

Jerks.How do you not smell a dead guy while writing your precious tickets?

Don't really care.

enough said

In the city where I live, I think it's a prerequisite to be morbidly obese (400+ lbs) and have an obvious personality disorder.

Where I used to live it was the same, and I remember one situation where a fat lady was writing me a ticket, and I came out and got in my car, and she told me I couldn't leave until she finished. I told her I was late for work and drove off. She was waving her arms in the air like a psycho and I never got a ticket for it :)

I understand the necessity of their jobs, but they take it to the extreme. I'm surprised more of them aren't assaulted.

I think that this is very sad, someone had to smell this man long before it was discovered!!! What a sad situation!
I know that the parking officers do have a quota, shame on them, in this case!!!!

Someone wasn't keeping the records that should have been kept. Had good records been kept, someone would have realized the van had been in place sooner, it would have been towed, and....
If these workers are given a quota they need to meet, it needs to be lowered, so the records can be kept up to date.
I'd also see if someone was maybe using this as a way to hide a murder. Who was driving, if the guy was in the BACK seat!?

..that it's amazing how they knew the car gave a foul odor but they didn't even bothered to check where did it come from.
