That’s a BS fine by the city, hope Amazon sets a precedent and doesn’t pay it.

Suspend their business license then?
 I’m sure there’s better reasons why but I don’t understand why cities and states don’t use suspended business licenses as more of a club to get companies in line. IIRC that’s how California got VW to fess up to some of the diesel gate issues by refusing to renew their business license unless they could explain the unusual testing results.Â

I hate both sides of this, but fuck Amazon more I suppose.
Part of doing any business in NY is that you’re going to get tickets. Almost no way around it if you do any kind of delivery.
Edit: my point didn’t get across, yes Amazon should pay or lose the privilege to operate . But having sent trucks into New York in the past sometimes there is no way around getting tickets.

When the fine is cheaper than compliance, it stops being a penalty and starts being a subscription.

Suspend their business license or create a law that makes every business to pay all fines before they can renew their license and jack up the fine of operating business without license…

A law without enforcement is not a law.
