The Bloomberg preoccupation with productivity goals continues to result in abuses of the system:

Alan Weiner, a 64-year-old amusement park manager, charges that after he got hit with a legitimate ticket on Queens Blvd. last spring, his car was then slapped with three bogus tickets in the same area over the summer while he was working in Maine.

A judge last month threw out the allegedly phony tickets after seeing Weiner’s proof that he and his car, which has Maine plates, were out of town at the time.

. . .

Weiner’s saga began last April when his Jeep Cherokee, registered to the Maine amusement company where he works, was hit with a well-deserved ticket on Queens Blvd. after he failed to get back to the meter in time.

Weiner said he paid the ticket and thought nothing more about it — until last month when the city sent him a letter saying he had three more outstanding tickets.

All three summonses turned out to be issued by ticket agents in the same Queens command that wrote the first ticket, T-402.
