If they’re getting tickets, wouldn’t their identity be part of the public record already? I, for one, would like to be able to laugh and point at them if I see them on the street!

Meaning that turning onto the sidewalk at all to: dismount outside the dangerously congested cab zone, be a jackass, or avoid the cab line and danger of sudden turn in/outs altogether will result in a fine.

Not saying one should ride on the sidewalk here, only saying it’s common due to the lack of enforcement of the statutes regarding blocking bike lanes and the dangerous conditions created by the bad driving and auto/bus/cab congestion there. Also noting that it hasn’t been previously ticketed.

That makes perfect sense.

I think there’s a push to raise revenue through fines these days.

They don’t have the authority to check ID’s. So when you are being asked who you are and what is your address. Any old name will suffice.
