"Video captured by Williamsburg News showed staff from the city's Medical Examiner remove the body of a 61-year-old man from the vehicle, which had heavily-tinted windows, which are illegal in New York City, just like parking at a fire hydrant, raising questions about why the car went ignored. Both Williamsburg News and Williamsburg 365 reported the car had been there for at least a week."
Police discovered a corpse inside a black Chevrolet sedan with heavily tinted windows illegally parked at a fire hydrant near Broadway and Lynch Street in Williamsburg, roughly 600 feet from the 90th Precinct stationhouse. Video shows Medical Examiner staff removing a 61-year-old man from the vehicle; both Williamsburg News and Williamsburg 365 reported the car had been there for at least a week. The vehicle's illegal tinting and hydrant parking raise questions about why it went unaddressed. The finding intensifies calls for the NYPD to enforce parking rules and reconsider policies that allow informal exemptions around precinct houses.
