To Protect and Swerve: NYPD Cop Has 547 Speeding Tickets

3 hours ago

NYPD officer James Giovansanti has received over 547 speeding and red-light tickets since 2022 in Staten Island, making him the city's second-most reckless driver.
His dangerous driving, primarily in a heavy RAM 1500 truck, occurs often in school zones and at night, posing severe risks to pedestrians and cyclists.
Despite the clear public safety threat, the NYPD has not disciplined him, claiming the tickets are unrelated to his job duties.
Activists highlight his case as urgent grounds for passing the 'Stop Super Speeders Act,' which would mandate speed limiters for repeat offenders.
Traffic experts and former police criticize the NYPD's inaction, stating that such patterns indicate poor judgment and undermine public trust in law enforcement.
