New York Minute 22 - Rest Stop

While walking, I came across a double-parked police car. No officers were sitting in the car, so I looked around to see what they were up to. 

A few paces later, I saw an officer standing next to a parked black Sport Utility Vehicle (SUV) writing a parking ticket. (It might have been a Chevy Suburban or a Cadillac Escalade, but I didn't take time to note the model.)

This type of vehicle is popular with drivers from the Uber and Lyft services. That said, I didn't see a sign in the vehicle's window, so I can't assume that it was an Uber car. It might have been from a private limousine service.

The police officer lifted the windshield wiper on the passenger side and placed the ticket under the wiper.

Where was the vehicle's operator, you might wonder. He was right there, sitting in the driver's seat, fast asleep. His head tipped back and his mouth was wide open. If someone is that tired, I question whether they should be shuttling passengers around on busy city streets.
