For immediate release 30-year-old NYPD traffic enforcement agent Nivea Cloud has resigned after allegedly slapping bogus parking tickets on dozens of legally parked cars. Cloud has been arraigned on several charges - the most glaring of which being issuing over two-dozen parking tickets at seven different Queens locations within a three-hour time period. She was spotted sitting in her car (in a handicapped parking space on 43rd Street in Long Island City) during the precise time that Cloud listed on six summonses she issued to vehicles supposedly parked at 37-06 Broadway. The hidden motive - parking ticket quotas? Although no motive was given, NYPD sources have stated that Cloud thought it was easier to ticket legally parked cars than to go out and search for illegally parked cars. But is laziness really the whole answer? Another line of thinking holds that Cloud was trying to fulfill parking ticket quotas. Although Mayor Bloomberg has denied their existence, preferring to call the quotas "performance standards", earlier this year an arbitrator named Bonnie Siber Weinstock did in fact find that these quotas exist and that officers who issue fewer than 35 parking summonses per quarter are at risk of facing disciplinary action. Whether or not Ms. Cloud was trying to fulfill a parking ticket quota, the NYPD has said that every parking ticket issued by Nivea Cloud in the last three years will be voided. If convicted of the charges brought up against her, Cloud faces up to four years in prison. Copyright 2006 Rhythmo Productions ###
