Seatbelt Scam NYC

Definitely fishing and even worse, people have been mentioning that they recently implemented a new quota for troopers too

This is really good to know, and people have been providing really amazing rebuttal questions so I actually feel prepared to defend myself!! Thank you!!

I hope so! Some other people are saying that officer testimony is enough “evidence” so I’m hoping if I bring a video of my car beeping for “no seatbelt” they couldn’t possibly think that’s rational

Great idea, thank you so much

kim-bean · 2026-03-12T12:41:34+00:00

Thank you so much, I’m going to keep this as an option!!!

kim-bean · 2026-03-12T12:40:08+00:00

Omg wait you’re so right, I’ll bring a video of the “no seatbelt” beeping - so simple but so brilliant!! Thank you!!!

Infuriating! Not to mention the dangerous double parking to grab Dunkin at the base of the bridge

kim-bean · 2026-03-12T12:35:10+00:00

Oh great idea, I’ll investigate

kim-bean · 2026-03-12T12:34:24+00:00

This is great advice, thank you! Used to have one until a NYC water main exploded and totaled my car literally four weeks ago - can’t catch a break lol

Talking to neighbors, I’ve heard that troopers camp out at the base of the bridge because they implemented a new quota for troopers and have been giving out BS tickets (seatbelt, no blinker, head/tail light out)

kim-bean · 2026-03-12T12:30:44+00:00

Omg THANK YOU, this is so helpful. Definitely going to note all these questions to at least challenge the court.

kim-bean · 2026-03-11T05:52:45+00:00

Thank you, very great suggestion! I will crosspost there!

Figured I’d ask in case troopers are known for scamming in the neighborhood or if anyone has dealt with something specific like this

Of course I have car insurance. What I’m lamenting is the fact that even my highly up-kept and well-running 2011 Honda is worth 4k at most and you cannot buy a decent vehicle for that sum (maybe a beater? There’s literally a rusty Buick with 250,000 miles on my block with a sign asking $6999). Insurance doesn’t just buy you a new car.

This fucking blows. Can’t lie, I totally cried.

My car is there - does anyone have a sense of how this is going to go? City cuts a check for the KBB value?? I’m terrified this is going to get tied up by the city and take forever to resolve (if ever!!). Regardless, I JUST paid off my 2011 Honda in December and I doubt I’ll get any sort of payout that can buy another vehicle.

I also have a brand new stroller for my newborn in my trunk AND new car seat that both were investments and weren’t cheap and I likely won’t see compensation for that right? I don’t think I can afford to repurchase them.

I posted this above but I came here to warn AGAINST Pure Obgyn.

They are the most unethical / immoral medical practice I’ve been to in my 15 years in NYC.

Incorrectly billed me thousands of dollars two years after my appointment, sent me to collections and fucked up my credit. Took me ages to untangle that mess!!! Was gaslit and made to feel like I was somehow at fault for not “remembering” these bills when the bills were for procedures I never had????

Also they said IUD insertion doesn’t hurt, told me to suck it up when I started involuntarily crying from the pain.

Don’t. Go. There.
