European Stars and Stripes (Newspaper) - July 30, 1991, Darmstadt, Hesse                                Tuesday july 30, 1991 the stars and stripes b Page 7 . Writing off $2.15 million in parking fines by James Barron. The new York times new York a new Yorkus parking violations Bureau is giving up on collecting More than $2.15 million in unpaid parking tickets from 28 of the City Stop 44 scofflaws. Agency officials say it is just not Worth the trouble. For one thing some have proved too troublesome to track Down a such As the City a no. 1 scofflaws who owes $182,212 for 2,807 parking tickets on 36 cars registered under a fake identity at a false address. The woman in whose name the ticketed cars were registered Sylvia Matos of Manhattan convinced Agency officials More than a year ago that she was not responsible. Since then despite repeated searches by the Agency a own investigators an outside credit rating service and sheriffs deputies the City has not been Able to determine who used her name or racked up All the tickets. Officials say that someone stole her resident alien card in the mid-1980s and used it As proof of identification for Register of the cars ticketed. Now officials say that it would Cost More to continue trying to find the real no. 1 a or other such offenders a than to simply write off the debts. Officials suspect that Many of the culprits Are unlicensed cab operators who shuffle License plates from car to car. That makes it difficult for the Agency to Trace heavily ticketed cars or Send enforcement agents after them. A a it a like the pot of Gold at the end of the Rainbow a said Lucius j. Riccio the transportation commissioner who supervises the parking violations Bureau. A you can to get to  the Bureau warns motorists with a relatively few unpaid tickets against getting any ideas. Officials say they Are not reducing efforts to track Down delinquents among the 12 million outstanding parking summonses in the bureaus computers. Quot rather they say they Are just following commonly accepted procedures for debt collection. Bureau officials say even commercial collection agencies cannot find every last debtor. A the Dollar amounts Are pretty impressive 182,000 Here 130,000 there a said Joseph Deplasco a transportation department spokesman. A these Are the visible ones that would give us a fast Buck if we could get them. But we re spending a lot of Money trying to get something Well never  whether they will Ever see the color of the no. 2. Scofflaws Money is an open question. He is among the 13 top owing motorists whom the City still Hopes to track Down. The parking Bureau stopped the manhunt for the 28 because they had received no new summonses since the Start of 1991. The no. 2 delinquent is still on the list however because one of the cars involved was ticketed in february 18 months after the Bureau assigned the Case to a collection Agency and a year after sheriffs deputies tried to find the owner. The Agency said taking the 28 deadbeats off its scofflaws files will promote efficiency. A we waste our efforts and create a false impression if we continue to pursue this Type of debt which is really a collectible a said Joseph Spencer the director of the parking Bureau. Like the no. 1 delinquent no. 2 also appears to be using a bogus address. The parking violations Bureau identified no. 2 As Charles Rivera of Lynbrook ., with 2,962 parking tickets on 88 cars and a debt of $165,729.

A i think the Christopher commission jumped to some very Large unsubstantiated  the chief singled out the reports finding of a pattern of racism. It cited hundreds of patrol car computer messages containing racist and sexist slurs and Cavalier references to brutality. A a we be got people who Are very a careful about How they communicate to one another a he said. A they May be racist. I suspect some Are. But i done to think that a conclusive proof they  Gates said the commission believed a every piece of negative testimony and refused to let him respond to its tentative conclusions before the reports release. Gates said he was disappointed he wont have enough time to push for reforms in the criminal Justice system. One is his idea that hardened criminals should be a a separated from society. His plan Calls for Locking away such criminals and strictly supervising those placed on probation. Gates had planned to spend his remaining time As chief advocating his plan.
