Zvika, if you feel that the cop had improper motivations for moving you, or otherwise behaved improperly, you should submit a Complaint to the Civilian Complaint Review Board.

I am wondering if anybody else finds it odd that a NYPD Sargeant is involved in telling a cart to get lost?

@Makanmata – I didn’t have permission from the cart owner at the time of the posting. He just emailed and said it was ok to post.

But I don’t know if I want to get in the middle of a fight between a cop and cart… if the owner would like to comment, I won’t censor him.

Zach, I don’t understand why you redacted the cops name and badge number. If the cop was in the right, he has no need for anonymity. If however he was doing something improper, the relevant authorities should be able to identify him to correct any corruption that exists. I would encourage you to rethink those redactions. This site can give power to the otherwise powerless, but only if you don’t let the powerful hide behind anonymity.

Danny, something tells me most people here haven’t visited a hotdog cart in a long time. I think the last time I visited a hotdog cart was about 2 years ago. I had hotdogs at home just this past weekend. I can’t see going to a cart for one.

i say let’s all boycott hot dog vendors. It seems like the only way to keep them quiet is to not give them business and hope they do something else.

I have seen this guy on my walk to the NRW in the morning. I’ll try it out tomorrow and report back. He’s across the street from a Coffee/Donut guy (by KMart) and the MUD Truck (Astor place 6 train) stop.

Hopefully he can be successful at that spot without any interference from the other vendors in the area. I wonder how late he stays around?

Sad to hear. Who needs hot dog vendor either then. Maybe there needs to be a swarm of donut carts ;P
