Patrol officer observed a black 2020 Honda bearing New York registration (redacted)  traveling eastbound on Palmer Avenue, and observed the vehicle to have a very dark tinted front windshield, dark tinted driver side windows, and a grey expired 2022 NYS inspection sticker.  The officer utilized a Tint Meter Enforcer II to measure both the front side windows and both the rear side windows light transmittance. All four windows measured a light transmittance of only 15%. The NYS inspection sticker had expired on September 30th, 2022. The offiver also observed a fraudulent NYS DMV Exempt Tinted Window Sticker displayed on the front windshield. Officer knew the sticker was fraudulent as it displayed a future modification date of 11/31 on the front. While on scene he compared the fraudulent tint sticker to an actual sticker and observed the font to be a different style, the NYS symbol to be unclear, an improper capitalized word and inconsistent bold font and lines. The driver could not provide any supporting DMV documentation for the sticker. The driver was issued several summonses and the sticker was seized.

Two officers attempted to wake the driver by banging on both the driver and passenger door windows, tapped the window with a flashlight, shouted to alert the driver as well as activated the siren.  None of the attempts to wake the operator were successful. While shaking a flashlight stream onto the operators face and shouting, officers were finally able to awaken the operator.  The operator was instructed to lower the driver door window. At this time, while speaking with the operator, the officer was able to smell a strong odor of an alcoholic beverage emanating from his breath as he spoke. Additionally, officer observed the operator to have watery, blood shot eyes and slurred speech. When asked how much he had to drink, he responded, “not a lot”. The officer then ordered the operator to put the vehicle in park and shut it off.

He was observed  to be unsteady on his feet and unable to maintain balance.  At 0102 hours, officer administered several Standardized Field Sobriety Tests. On the fourth attempt to obtain a PBT from him, he stated, “I do not want to cooperate anymore”.

He was handcuffed and placed into the patrol car and transported to police headquarters for processing.

Even in Larchmont, if a person leaves a bicycle parked on the street overnight without locking it, there is a good chance that it will not be there in the morning.

As to issuing appearance tickets to a driver who, when stopped, has appearance tickets he has ignored, why is that the appropriate action for a policeman to take–what are the odds that that person will honor the new appearance tickets, since he ignored the others?
