A New Yorker made almost $5,000 for reporting idling vehicles to police in NYC
New York City
has a law against commercial trucks and buses idling while parked.
To try and enforce the law, the city created a reward program for citizens to report (or snitch) on vehicles they see idling.
The person who reports gets to take home 25 percent of the fine, which ranges from $350 to $2,000 for repeat offenders.
Based on data from a NY Post report, there are a few folks who have made reporting these idlers into a somewhat lucrative side hustle.
