How much does each barnacle cost the city? Vendor prob charges 5k a piece.
They are billed $85K each for them.
@@wileecoyote5749 Peanuts for Adam. I wish they use the money to get Boots for criminal in the subway. Keep them flat on the platform for weeks.
85 grand?
Another corrupt grift.
There are TV shows about parking enforcement in Philly...you would be surprised at the amount of tickets some of these people got
@@TheHiredGun187 LInks and data, please?
Why not? Do little to nothing about violence but parking tickets? Full authoritarian.
Right this is so, - America. Why not improve infrastructure to accommodate all of the gazillions of people driving about the state, and country - these pathetic conflicts do seem superfluous.
Different departments. Your argument has no merit. Not to mention, failure to pay fines creates more problems than I’m sure you can’t comprehend (no offense just fact)!
You are spreading the BS that nothing is being done about violent crime. Take your manure to a farm.
Exactly, no cops to be seen ANYWHERE but Meter MUTTS ARE OUT IN FULL FORCE!
It’s not new, Philadelphia has used them for over a year, put your defrost on your windshield then crank the heat, it releases the suction cups. There are videos on how to remove them, good luck nypd 😂😂
Nobody said the tool was new, just that it was new to the Dept.
AWESOME, THANKS FOR SHARING!!!
Hehehe thanks!!
Maybe someone got a nice contract and a big kickback was paid after all Billions being wasted in New York City it’s been a free for All for Politicians
@@Mr5083 , and THE WHITE HOUSE TOO
Give it a couple of months and scammers will figure out how to disable it and charge only $50 bucks...lol..
They already have in Philadelphia. Turn your defroster on full, put it on full heat and off it comes
@@johnmack85730 God bless you
Why doesn't our country spend money on more parking and more efficient infrastructure than aiding endless wars?
Because wars make money. New to Earth?
@@stuwest3653 So why aren't they spending the money on infrastructure?
Because people are too lazy to walk 10' let alone 100' from an open spot. It's a behavior problem, not an infrastructure problem.
Ghost plates on cars does not mean build more bridges.
@@robertr3470 Try parking in NYC and talk later. It is all about getting money out of working people specially delivery and service. Disgusting!.
@@mrbob9556 you mean like the lazy ass door dashers and Uber drivers who double park anywhere and everywhere because actual parking is too hard for them. Get a real job before complaining about how your amateur courier job is so hard on you.
So wait🫤🤨...... How does putting a boot on someone's vehicle (that's parked) keep traffic moving?🤔
Dear Shaunte Fly< Harken to 2:09 minutes, and follow the instructions.
Bcoz you cant drive if you can't see the traffic!!
Welcome to NY…I guess. 😂😂😂😂 they don’t think about anything, just waste New Yorkers money.
@@rockyBalboa6699 they wasn’t driving to begin with if the car was parked
I’ve seen them booth double parked cars trapping legally parked cars, how’s that for insanity
Incredibly easily defeated using methods found in videos on UA-cam...
To Joe Flation, LInks, and data, please?
@@eddyvideostar reading comprehension issues?
@@JoeFlation I am asking for answers. Show it - Prove it, Data?
@@eddyvideostar I gave you the location of the information. I can't help it if you are too lazy or just plain incapable of finding it. Now go be a keyboard troll somewhere else dingleberry
@@eddyvideostar I told you where to find it, go look for yourself, and do not make demands upon me, kid.
There's always a work around
me sticking my head out the window
Traffic agents used to be dressed in brown so that armed suspects won't mistake them for armed police officers. Someone got the bad idea of dressing unarmed traffic agents in similar uniforms to police officers causing a serious safety issue. The NYPD may claim that it provides omnipresence but it really stemmed from the NYPD changing to dark blue shirts and wanting to sell off the excess amount of left over light blue shirts they had in stock, corruption in the procurement process?
IT'S DISGRACEFUL. Ever since they dressed them in blue and SLAPPED an nypd label on them they have become more abusive of the citizens.
@@melindahernandez8778Yes! Light blue NYPD light to dark blue probably late nineties? I remember the brownies too.
But if they put it on and there’s 6 Cars and they can’t move it’s still going to be there blocking the street
So let me get this straight. You do not want the vehicle parking there, so you disable it so that the owner cannot move it? Gotta think that one over for a while.
They do that so that if you don't see it and pay the fine in time THEY'LL TOW YOU AND HIT YOU WITH AN OUTRAGEOUS TOW FEE.
At this point, the city is nothing more than a late game in Monopoly
How are they are going to find the owner and ask them to move it? 😂
@@darthtechnologies553 NYC doesn't recognize the US Constitutuion. A judge already declared that during a trial a few weeks ago involving the 2nd amendment. Came right out and said it and yelled at the lawyer for even mentioning the 2A.
@@jebj1 i also saw ones where NYPD arrested journalists for filming in a public police lobby, and the journalist even had the state law/1st amendment with him and they still arrested him. Blueline Gang members
Meanwhile Luxury cars have Front cameras to see the road they can take off lol
Good one didn't think of that haha this is such crap
You started in the poor areas first, nice...wonder why everyone hates cops.
lol, I was wondering why they were starting in queens as well! Video is in Manhattan but they wont have any of this done to them after this test trial ends
I am pretty sure savvy felons will find a way to defeat that windshield thingy in no time. This is NYC, baby🤣🤣
This is just insane. So taxpayers will foot the bill to maintain this device which will then be used to restrict the use of your veichle at an additional cost 🤔
this ant gonna work on a tesla
Jokes on them my windshield is cracked and I do not have a problem with making cracking it more to make air holes. 😂😂
They'll write you a ticket for the cracked windshield too 😔
@@aklip I checked the statues in my area and as long as it is not hindering your view and the cracks are a certain amount of inches apart I'm good. It's just a long line that goes across the bottom and a few going up from the bottom passenger side. Now that will prevent me from getting a ticket but they use it as an excuse to pull me over all the time. They never give me a ticket thou. Surprisingly none of them have noticed I only have 1 windshield wiper. If it's raining and I see a car approaching and I think it's a cop Ill quickly turn it off so they don't notice until we pass by each other 😂.
pure bs. somebody getting a kick back. the work around has been out for over a year
Keep people from being able to drive their cars… that’s how you keep traffic moving
The scofflaw vans have been doing so many boots lately that they have not been taking the time to tighten them on the wheel so people have been able to drive off as if was never on.
Someone is going to call Safelite repairs mobile unit
Heat your window
May not work, the device is self regulated so it will compensate for the heat
How about not parking illegally at the first place...
@@vincentlu36 because there’s no space. It’s all taken up by Citibike.
@@Chewie316 so that gives you incentive to still break the law??
@@TheLIRRFrenchie... explaining one of the reasons why it would be done. God bless and remember Jesus loves you ❤️
Barnacle Bill The Sailor
Instead of a solution that helps people they come up with this? I know most people will not think this is a major thing but the system is so corrupt here they have to do everything they can to make money. You add this to the cameras they have all over, congestion pricing on the horizon and literally 2 ticket people to every block it really is becoming more stressful to live here everyday. These are the same people that made marijuana legal as to where you can’t walk down the street without smelling the smoke and inhaling cancer with my kid there with me. When you let the government get away with ideas like this it leads to why prices here have made it almost impossible to afford. Some may look at this story and laugh because the reporter says it looks like SpongeBob but this is truly no laughing matter. We need to organize and stand up against injustices
After all of these protests
These will last less than a month
$185 and you gotta wait for someone to come lol.
Or, pay your parking tickets. Park legally.
@@garypiatt4666 Yeah ok rich guy.
@@tdon39 how does stating one should go by the rules/laws imply I’m a “rich guy?”
@@garypiatt4666You sure you reside in NYC?
@@garypiatt4666parking is astronomically expensive in new york. your better off putting your vehicle on pontoons and floating on the river
I have glass insurance Safelight is changing it in less than 2 hours
Since i move out of ny in 2012 i don't know what tolls are..parking tickets...street cleaning tickets...ect... I even got a ticket once in ny for something missing or broken in the car....the car was new,, the ticket was $40 but why loose a days work to fight a ticket.. bunch of thieves.
" Safelite repair, Safelite REPLACE "
😂😂😂😂😂😂😂❤❤❤❤
Do a Story on all the folks displaying city parking placards that park illegally also the phony placards used to park illegally shine some light on all the Abuse
The barnacle 2.0 has a fart spray, glitter bomb, cameras and audible. 😂
That's unconstitutional. And against our Human Rights to travel as well as violating your movement.
Right, because these Geniuses would never try driving their car by looking around to the space at the top or side... or try sticking their head out of the window..... and when they pull their shenanigans, guess who the first ones they will sue will be?
The Barnacle designers, manufactures, suppliers, purchasers, implementors and appliers.
How about tow the cars if you really want to keep traffic moving 😂 what a concept.
YT is messing with the comments again, Censorship at its best
A few years ago they tried this gizmo in a parking garage in Memphis. A couple students figured out how to defeat it within 24 hours. Haven’t seen one since. Congrats NYPD, you are living up to your reputation. 😅😂
How about not parking where you shouldn't lmao
Yet another reason not to drive to Manhattan.
Now if it’s not a “registered” vehicle 🚗 up to date that won’t work.
i have seen way worst after a snowstorm.
its just laziness
anyone wanting to remove car windshield barnacles need only heat the glass from inside this will make the Barnacle to change its suction pressure, air molecules will release the suction system way before your windshield melting point, the colder is the average temperature the easier it will be and the hotter more difficult will be
HATE NYC MORE AND MORE EVERYDAY
Then don't park illegally... like how you park on bus stops because you want to get your hrrrr & nails done, grrrrrl!!!
The whole country does.
Then leave. Good luck finding another place with jobs that consistently pay higher than NYC.
@@joetrolo7076You may hate NYC but you can’t do without NYC. We are vital to USA GDP
Apparently, my comment was deleted because you apparently like to park on bus stops. 😆
This is an illusion. On my street are two cars more like two years not move. Two times a week is street cleaning and the car is not moving. I didn't see any ticket
The car owners probably work for the city.
Very interesting yet clever idea to prevent parking violators from driving off with barnacle on their windshield. Can’t even afford to drive nor park in NY
There is a barnacle boot removal tool on E bay. I believe it’s called “Barney Buster 👍👍❤
An infrared heat source from inside the vehicle will heat the air in the suction cup through the windshield (and the suction cup) dramatically reducing the vacuum - then remove. Would be neat to try, and likely better than the defroster method.
Bixby Snyder (voice-over): I'll buy that for a dollar
Worst System Ever!! You'd be better off slapping Mayonnaise on the the Windscreen!!🤣
🎵Safelite repair Safelite replace🎵
A new windshield installed is less than a hundred bucks
And once the parking ticket gets higher than a replacement windshield people are just gonna start smashing their own windshield and having Safelite come out and replace it
Oh man! Who makes windshield tear-offs for racing?? I need to invest NOW!!
Good thing I have a convertible
You did notice the knife in his pocket inhope
if spongebob was ran over, how would he end up on the windshield of the vehicle? not funny
A small metal drill drills. But the vehicles are constantly left in the wrong place, which is why there is less parking because it stays there.????
Well time to start keeping a spare windshield on hand. Its not about the money, its about making a point.
so they can still drive but they gotta look out the window like ace ventura
Of all the issues to address in the city, the city goes after working people, vendors, people visiting the doctor, essentially productive people. Whose 7th grade science project is this? Rather than pave the roads, sweep the streets, solve the homeless crisis… smh
If the City provided ample parking....this wouldn't be a problem.
Will they place this on personal city employees vehicles with placards as well who are not parked next to there local precincts or fire houses?
Her belt buckle and her keys are scratching the car!!! WTH?? That's gonna be a helluva problem. She's leaning to put the device on the car. More damage.
Parking offenders better improve their reverse driving skills.
It's just so big and awkward for the traffic agents. 🤷🏾♀️
How about making more parking for citizens?
Let's see if this works. I've seen people remove the tire boots from their vehicle, then drive away.
It's definitely something different! 😊
From the thumbnail i thought it was a Hungry Howies empty pizza box.
Man, @lockpickinglawyer would make short work of the Barnacle.
Why are ANY "boots" required? People can't register their car/truck if they don't pay tickets already? And once you hit a certain amount, they tow your car? A damaged windshield will cost the city $500 plus ADAS alignment.
And yet major crime continues to rise and hundreds of millions in tax dollars for illegals yet still nothing for America's homeless or vets or its citizens
Its probably more money than ticket
Philadelphia has been using these
Ace Ventura laughs at the Barnacle.
People are gonna use the front number camera and drive 😂
If I haf my own city nobody would have to pay for parking. To hell with these devils and their revenue scams
@MrEjohnston

Carry a cordless drill and use a titanium bit to drill a hole through the device to let air out and cause it to release.
My car has a back up camera and a window.
NY is just now getting these? Los Angeles has had these for awhile now...
These stupid things are only threatening to those of us that dont have tools in our vehicles.
Wait til the people learn the secret to getting them off. By far less functionable than the actual tire boot. At least that'll do some damage to your car if you drive.
Thank God I don’t live in NY anymore smh
Kind of weird people agree to pay for anything when this world belongs to no man.
Jesus 😮
Ace Ventura would laugh at this!
Waste of time and resources, Makes me feel so safe in the subway,
All this while Crime is legal .... Escape NYC while you can
185 dollar it’s out of control many New York are under pay as it is
Soon they need national guard for this
I can see A.O.C. Crying about it now
Why have a car in the city in the first place? 😂
Subways and busses don't go everywhere
This anti-illegal parking deterrent is more efficient than the other cumbersome, prostrate knee-scraping system while being accusation-free of messing up wheels or tires.
Just big suction cups. Easily taken off… 🤣
Nah son this is violation 😮😢😂😂
$185 ticket
$185 for a PARKING VIOLATION is absolutely insane!! A red light camera ticket in Nassau County is $150. And that’s a MOVING VIOLATION. A parking ticket in Cedarhurst is usually $35. I get it, they need to enforce parking rules in an extremely congested city but $185 is too much!!
That red light ticket, that’s likely just the base fine. In California it costs three times that much with fees and charges.
@@pvpat92 So you’re saying a red light camera ticket in CA is more than $500?
i mean, you can still drive with it. just look out your side window. and its easier to change the front windshield. than a wheel with a boat
Good to know they have their priorities straight...
Stopping violent crime vs enforcing draconian regulations....
We know which one they hold in higher order, money for the city
