The fine for violating New York City idling laws can range anywhere from $300 to $2000

According to the official website of the city of New York, “You can report an idling vehicle, other than an authorized emergency vehicle, that is parked with its engine running for more than three minutes, or parked next to a school with its engine running more than one minute.”

I'd prefer to see the city allow citizens report people who are not handicapped who park in handicapped spots. That should include anyone who has a handicap permit who is not handicapped. Being lazy is not a handicap.
