NY CWE 9407 was caught parked in a bike lane in New York 1 time

DoT Candy Store Run
Eighth Avenue and West 53rd Street, New york, NY
This DOT placard holder figures that he can double park in the bike lane across from the hydrant without risking a ticket for blocking the hydrant. He doesn't double-park next to one of the legally parked cars, because that might block in and inconvenience a fellow motorist (can't do that!). So he parks in the bike lane, apparently comfortable with inconveniencing and endangering bicyclists. He waddled out of the candy shop as I was photo'ing his placard. When I questioned his parking he argued in defense that he was not abusing his placard, because the placard does not entitle him to park where he was (thanks for the admission!). So why is it on your dash, buddy--don't you see the fine print at the bottom stating it is a "felony" to misuse the permit?
