CGar- NY state does not have “no contest” divorces, thus you have to provide “grounds” for divorce, like cheating or something like that.
“Chana Taub sued her husband for divorce in 2005, but a jury found her grounds were not proven.”
Since when do you require “grounds” for divorce?
That’s for sure, denton.
I don’t know what the solution is to the taxi/livery issue outside of Manhattan, but the fact is that breaking the rules is a normal course of practice for many people tells me that some change is needed.
dibs, it’s all about the revenue.
Also, I believe all it says on the door is “Emergency Exit”
It does not say anything to the effect of “Use Only In Case of Emergency” or any other prohibitting language that might indicate a fine was possible.
People in Manhattan use these as normal course of business.
I think SSCJ&L needs to start filing citizen-taxpayer lawsuits challenging the legality of the arbitrary and capricious enforcement of laws like this.
Yeah but technically, what’s the offense? I’d say if a subway exit gets backed up that’s an emergency in and of itself.
I’ve seen plain clothe cops give folks tickets for that hence I rarely go thru those emergency doors
