Santa Claus is ticketed for double parking while delivering gifts to children!
NEW YORK (AP) — Santa Claus has added a New York City traffic agent to his naughty list after she gave him a ticket while delivering gifts to children.
Chip Cafiero says he'll fight the $115 ticket he received in Brooklyn on Black Friday when he was dressed as Santa. The 60-year-old retired schoolteacher was riding a horse-drawn carriage and handing out toys and candy canes. An SUV carrying the toys and protecting the horse from traffic was double parked next to him. Santa says he yelled "Ho! Ho! Ho!" to get the traffic agent's attention because the SUV wasn't blocking traffic. But in his words, "This grinch just went ahead and fined me." Local politician Martin Golden calls the parking ticket "ridiculous." Police won't comment on it. http://www.courant.com/news/nationwo...,2952962.story |

i don't see what's ridiculous about it. being nice to children shouldn't excuse anyone from having to obey traffic laws.

You don't cross the traffic agents in New York, no matter who you're dressed up as. Period.
