Confusion On Both Sides

February 24 -- no tickets, 
no registration, no inspection,
no problem

This 2003 Cadillac has been parked UNMOVED on the even side of Prospect Avenue for at least the past 10 days.  I checked public records through its license plate number -- the car has never received a $15 WRONG SIDE PARKING ticket from HPD.  The Chief of the Hudson Police Department, Ed Moore, is well aware that the Overnight Alternate Side rule applies to Prospect Avenue from Rossman to Warren.  Apparently, his own officers are not aware of this.  Does Ed care that they are not?

On February 7th, I sent Ed Moore a picture of the Cadillac parked in the same area.  It had been parked there for at least a week with a flat tire.  The Cadillac disappeared for a day or two and then returned without its flat tire.  For a week it sat unmoved.  On February 17th, I sent Ed another email with a picture of the Cadillac and asked why his officers were once again not ticketing the unmoved car.  I got no response from either email.  This morning, with the Cadillac still parked in the same spot, I took a few pictures of it. 

The registration on the Cadillac has been expired for over 4 years and its most recent inspection expired over 5 years ago. 

Does HPD care who owns this 
Cadillac and who parked it
on Prospect Avenue?

For those of you who own a fully registered vehicle and have to park it on a Hudson city street with overnight rules:  Do you do your best to NOT park your car on the WRONG side of the street at night?  Have you ever been issued a $15 WRONG SIDE PARKING ticket by HPD for parking overnight on the WRONG side of the street?  Did you pay that $15 ticket and any others your car was issued to the Parking Bureau?

Do you have questions about the Overnight Alternate Side Parking rule, perhaps regarding on what streets the rule applies?  Chief Ed Moore's phone number at the HPD station is 518-828-3388.  He should be able to help you.
