ticket-fixing probe

"This a bogus charge, and it is not about what anyone thinks about ticket fixing,” said lawyer Rae Dawn Koshetz. “This is an abuse of power to punish a detective who was doing his job.”

A veteran NYPD officer distraught over being called to testify in the ticket-fixing scandal which has engulfed the police force this year allegedly attempted to commit suicide earlier today.

The former financial secretary for the Patrolman's Benevolent Association pleaded guilty today in the police ticket fixing scandal.

As a Bronx grand jury prepares to hand out indictments in the ongoing ticket fixing probe it appears that guilty cops could get off just losing vacation days.

Relations between the DA's office and the police are particularly strained, with another source saying, "It's never been this bad. Guys are unhappy with the [DA's office] and they're making it known."

Yankee's vice president and security chief Sonny Hight, who was caught on tape discussing a ticket that Yankees' head of stadium operations received with a NYPD union trustee, is also scheduled to testify.

Officer Zinstein was transferred from the 44th precinct in the Bronx to the 94th precinct in Greenpoint because according to his superiors "the neighborhood needed more Jewish cops."

A jury found a former Bronx ADA not guilty of drunk driving after the arresting officers were revealed to be a part of the ongoing ticket fixing scandal.

A sergeant and a union delegate "made calls to borough patrol cops to try and erase" the charge, but because Rodriguez was "physically threatening" during the arrest, they refused.

Revelations like these should give defense attorneys low-hanging fruit for years to come. Now's the time to commit a crime!
