On topic, one of the big traffic problems in NYC is NYPD parking in bus lanes or other undesireable places that disrupts traffic flow. For instance, when they're doing bag inspections on the subway, the cops will usually just roll up and park wherever requires fewest footsteps into the station, which is more often than not a bus stop - which pushes buses into regular lanes, which holds up regular lanes... This is true when they're on and off duty, AAMOF.
Another annoying tendency is for them to park on the side of the road or roll around town at normal speed with their lights on when they're doing nothing out of the ordinary. People can't work out whether to pull over, slow down or not.

Off the topic, I think the point being made is that incarceration is not a strong deterrent. If that's not the point, it ought to be.
