It's another NYPD ticket blitz! According to the Post, the NYPD has issued 55% more car seat violations over the first 10 months of 2009 vs. 2008. Cops "wrote 4,160 tickets for car-seat violations in the first 10 months of this year -- or 14 per day" (back in 2008, it was an average of nine violations/day). NY State law requires children 4 and under to ride in safety seats and children must be in booster seats until age 8; fines start at $50. A Park Slope mom approved of the crackdown, "Cops are here for our safety. It's important, especially when it comes to our children."
