It’s unclear who was driving at the time of each ticket. The majority of the tickets were earned on Staten Island, the records show. The plate associated with the van in Nessen's tweet has been slapped with a whopping 136 tickets for speeding in school zones and 16 for blowing through red lights since March 2019, according to How’s My Driving - far more than enough to require the owner of the vehicle to be required to take a safe driving course or have the vehicle seized by the sheriff under the Dangerous Vehicle Abatement Program.

State police says sometimes I issue a ticket sometimes I don’t." “The state of play: State police pull over this van with obscured plates … only to discover its an 'undercover' NYPD officer,” Nessen tweeted on Wednesday morning in Lower Manhattan.
