It makes life easier for deliverymen and turnstile-hoppers. The cops aren't
completely stupid. They're not going to endanger people's safety and make any
voters mad at them. They're trying to put pressure on the mayor by shorting the city of funds raised through ticketing.
Of course, if they want increases in pay, once they're done with their little tantrum, they'll have to make up for that revenue, which will mean they'll be hitting people with all types of summonses, which will make people pissed off at cops even more than they currently are.
They seem to overestimate the love and respect people have for them because of years of Giuliani and Bloomberg blowing smoke directly up their asses. They think that because of the recent murders that everyone in the city who isn't subject to stop-and-frisk thinks they're heroes who can do no wrong. They're mainly incorrect.
