Massapequa Park To Use Sensors To Detect Illegally Parked\u00a0Vehicles<\/h1>\n

Mayor Insists Move Has Nothing To Do With Money, But Villagers Not Impressed<\/h4>\n

MASSAPEQUA\u00a0PARK, N.Y. (CBSNewYork) \u2013<\/strong>Be careful where you decide to park your\u00a0car<\/a>.<\/span><\/h6>\n
\n
\n

Massapequa Park<\/a>\u00a0will be the first Long Island municipality to use electronic sensors embedded in the street to detect illegally parkedvehicles<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Police can quickly slap a $25 fine on the vehicle after the wireless discs notify them of the violation by transmitting a signal to the officers\u2019 cellphones.<\/p>\n

Officials said the new technology has nothing to do with raising revenue.\u00a0 Officials also said the electronic sensors would only be installed in fire and handicapped parking zones, crosswalks and turn light areas in addition to corner radiuses.<\/p>\n

\u201cFor us it\u2019s a safety issue,\u201d Mayor James Altadonna Jr. told CBS 2\u2019s Scott Rapoport.<\/p>\n

Altadonna said the new system comes in response to a rash of illegally parked cars that\u2019s resulted in all sorts of problems.\u202a<\/p>\n

\u201cThey\u2019re parking in front of fire hydrants. They\u2019re parking in front of cross walks,\u201d he said.<\/div>\n

Add to that budget cuts that have reduced the number of code enforcement officers to just four and village officials say the new system is necessary.\u202a<\/p>\n

Some are not pleased with the \u201cbig brother\u201d aspect of the technology.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t like everybody watching me, everywhere\u00a0in every tree, every building, every street corner. I mean, it\u2019s ridiculous,\u201d he told WCBS 880 Long Island Bureau Chief Mike Xirinachs.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat happens when somebody comes into town for the first time wants to stop into my shop for ten minutes, gets a parking ticket and then they never come back?\u201d asks Quick-Stop Deli owner Ajay Singh.<\/p>\n

\u201cEverywhere you go you got no privacy,\u201d another person told Rapoport.<\/p>\n

Village officials said the sensors will be tried on an experimental basis starting in November.\u00a0The sensors will be placed in 50 spots near the Park Boulevard business center.<\/p>\n

If the trial proves successful, the sensors could become permanent by the first of next year.<\/p>\n

He continued that God wasn't important, wasn't real, and our parents just used God to impose restrictions on us because they were inadequate to parent effectively. I knew then I was going to be involved in a war and that I would have to be in Jesus Christ's Army. Even then, I knew the United States of America would cease to exist without the vast majority of its citizens voluntarily submitting to the Perfect and Good Laws of the Holy Bible. I am a woman who loves the Lord Jesus Christ. I am tired of seeing our LORD denigrated from the school house to the White House.
