Citations Without Notice


Can one receive a citation without proper signage of where trespassing is not permitted? As if trespassing is permitted in certain places to begin with, yes. Especially the Chelsea Pier area, specifically Pier 40 next to the Port Authority building. Yesterday I went to New York City to hang with Lily. Neither of us being able to sleep as usual, we decided to take a walk down by the pier. We then decided to jump over two sets of railing to bypass the closed gate out onto the boardwalk, mind you this gate had no trespassing signs attached to it(although the previous on had). Soon enough, the parks and rec security came lights flashing ready to exert authority upon us. These two goofs, most likely illiterate, claimed that we have been seen on camera trespassing onto the boardwalk and we were in big trouble. OoooO. We both proceed to give the forceful parks security false identities and ridicule them. It was quite hilarious in that both of our first responses were fabrication and the parks "officers" thought they had served justice by giving us each $50 citations for looking through binoculars on a public pier. Yes it was closed after 1am. Did we harm anything? Absolutely not. Napoleon Complex had overtaken both of them, especially Juan Gutierrez who made sure we knew that a law had been broken. Give me a break pinkerton. Utterly hilarious situation that only the two of us could get ourselves into. 

Don't mess with forceful pinkertons, they will kick your ass and issue you a citation.
