I have been all over the world. I have eaten breakfast sandwiches in the Bronx, Argentina, Paris, LA and beyond. And I believe the sausage, egg, cheese and hash brown sandwich at Henry St. Deli in Burlington, Vermont is the best breakfast sandwich in the world.
I caught another cop on Baxter Street near the courthouses and the Manhattan DA's office on Friday. At some point, you'd think the NYPD would crack down on this, no? Until then, there's me committing CRIMINAL MISCHIEF with a blue paint pen!

People are so inspired by my one-man CRIMINAL MISCHIEF spree around town that they're sending me videos of their own efforts. This young lady obviously appreciates Jimmy and the Jaywalkers' hit song โย and she hates scofflaws!

's entitled cops โ with their free parking privileges (worth thousands of $'s by the way) โ who cover their plates so they can speed through school zones without accountability. This is just basic corruption that the city ignores.

Hello, โฆ
@NYPD1Pct
โฉ, Iโd like to turn myself in for committing CRIMINAL MISCHIEF as I fixed this perpโs defaced plate at Broadway and White St.
As we gear up for congestion pricing, I'm seeing more and more people committing criminal mischief to avoid tolls and speed cameras. Well, at least today, there's one fewer of these criminals, thanks to ... me!
#VivaChe
I spotted another perp cop breaking the law by defacing his plate to avoid accountability for speeding in school zones. Yet when I fix the plate with my handy paint pen, I'm the one committing
#criminalmischief
! Roll the tape, Jimmy!
At was a beautiful day in Williamsburg today, so I figured I'd help out a cop who scratched off most of the numbers on his plate. I would hate to see one of
@nypdpc
's officers get a ticket for defacing his plate.
In case you missed it, here's my greatest criminal mischief episode of late โย I caught a former cop who works for
@ManhattanDA
Alvin Bragg who moonlights as a plate defacing perp!
This morning, I caught a
@NYPDSVU
cop on White Street who had a LONG record of speeding tickets ... until he scraped his plate to make it unreadable. Well, a little CRIMINAL MISCHIEF later, and all is well, New York.
Fresh from my appearance on
@ThisAmerLife
, I caught a total asshole in Midtown with a quartet of crimes: illegal plate covers, placard corruption, massive number of camera violations, parked in a bike lane. Hey
@NYSCourtsNews
and
@NYSCourtOfficer
, will you act?
Today I spotted a guy with BOTH plates covered, plus an NYPD sticker and an EXPIRED (and probably fake)
@NYCSanitation
placard AND an expired inspection sticker โย so I did what anyone would do: commit CRIMINAL MISCHIEF!
SEE IT! This morning, I discovered corruption by
@nypdpc
officers, who park squad cars, equipment, personal cars and even the official RECRUITING VAN in the 2nd Av. bus lane, selfishly and illegally delaying commutes for 10s of thousands of commuters.
@NYPDnews
has not responded.
Hey
#criminalmischief
fans: I caught a stinking rich Park Slope guy who eats hundreds of dollars in parking tickets every month โย yet still defaces his plate to avoid $50 speeding tickets. What do the cops call it? CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, right, Jimmy?
I have to admit, this is my boldest, most brash move โย a bit of
#criminalmischief
coupled with some outright THEFT. Where is
@NYPD1Pct
when you need them?
The other day, I spotted this perp near the Barclays Center and thought, "Hmm, I wonder how these drivers will get charged with the congestion toll next year if they cover their plates..." Check it out.
#CriminalMischief
I agree that enforcement against illegal vehicles is vital. Full stop. But I notice that everyone in Liam's replies is praising the NYPD for basically plucking the lowest-hanging fruit: hard-working delivery workers. (Yes, I can hear your groans, but bear with me...): ๐งต
I know I don't do criminal mischief anymore, but sometimes you see a bent plate in the placard perp zone in Lower Manhattan and you just HAVE TO bend it back because this driver hasn't gotten any tickets in six months, after a lengthy history of speeding...
I don't have to touch someone's car to point out that something's not right. Here's a full-on Dodge Dickmobile with an illegal cover on the back plate. This muscle car guy has lots of parking tickets (those are written by humans), but no speed-cam tickets. Curious, ain't it?
Hey
@mta
, I caught your bus dispatcher on Jay Street, not only using a fake placard, but showing off some serious CRIMINAL MISCHIEF with his two defaced plates. I wonder if you care?
I just caught an
@NYPD72Pct
cop (or cop adjacent perp) with a double-defaced plate that required a little CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. This guy somehow thinks the 2022 "9/11 Never Forget" placard is a get-out-of-jail-free card, but someone should tell him it still destroys his integrity.
Here's a
@CorrectionNYC
officer who appears to have bought a light array for the back of his plate to blind the speed cameras. It may be working โย he hasn't gotten a ticket since January. So I helped with a little

Could this be my LAST criminal mischief post? Bowing to concerns of my friends (mostly out-of-towers, btw), I may stand down before I get beaten up. But if I end my campaign, it's not before one last great act of CRIMINAL MISCHIEF against a neighbor of mine. Enjoy.
... He says, "They should get rid of the cameras," and I'm like, "Just don't speed!" He was a nice guy so I didn't break his balls, but I was still revolted by the sense of entitlement from a person arguing that he should have the right to endanger his neighbors. The end.
Today in CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, I found two cop-adjacent perps who cover their plate ... because they know they can get away with it. One is a "Back the Blue" tow truck driver. The other? AN AUXILIARY COP! This is must-see criminal mischief ... for
@NYCMayor
and
@NYPDPC
Sewell!
People are always asking me, "Hey, Gersh, what's your problem, man?" And I say, "My problem is when court officers use illegal plate covers to avoid being held accountable for their recklessness." And then I show them this.
#criminalmischief
I have just been told by the DA's office that it is "in the process of conducting a thorough investigation." The DA has promised to keep me posted.

@NYCMayor
If
@NYPD78Pct
wants to arrest me for CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, here's me not damaging anyone's car or plate โ and I'll countersue my neighbor with plates that contradict the car's registration, which to me is the real CRIMINAL MISCHIEF.
I didnโt bike to work today not because itโs โcold,โ but because too many roads in the city are unsafe for cyclists. It is more than 72 hours after the last flakes.
Hey
@CorrectionNYC
@DOCCommish
Molina, I spotted one of your officers being a felon with his "criminal mischief." I wish I could have helped him out, but I didn't have the right tools. How about busting this rogue officer?
WORLD EXCLU: This is the CRIMINAL MISCHIEF video that will bring an onslaught of middle-of-the-night harassing phone calls and threats from cops (I've already had 1) because it's absolute CRIMINAL MISCHIEF against an
@NYPD84Pct
cop who should be punished by
@NYPDPC
and
@NYCMayor
This line of illegally parked squad cars caused a chain reaction of traffic on the Jay Street busway this morning, delaying hundreds of commuters and, once again, undermining my faith in the NYPD's commitment to Vision Zero.
Another Good Friday perp โย this time, I caught a cop in Chinatown with defaced plates on front and back. So I did what any good citizen would do โ I helped him out.
My favorite part of CRIMINAL MISCHIEF (for me & my viewers) is when a person comes over and says, "Why are you touching MY CAR?!" while I'm getting that scofflaw to follow the law. So, with apologies to
@Andy
, watch what happens LIVE when I unmask a plate-covering court officer!
I know all of America was saddened to learn that I had retired from CRIMINAL MISCHIEF, but like Al Pacino in Godfather III, they keep pulling me back in. This time, it's an
@NYPDTransit
bureau cop on Schermerhorn. I'm back, baby, I'm back.
If anyone is wondering why cops don't crack down on defaced plates, my latest CRIMINAL MISCHIEF video filmed
@nypd5pct
should provide all the information you need.
Today, I caught one of my very own press colleagues committing
#criminalmischief
with his NYPD-issued press plate. (Not to mention being a recidivist speeder!) For shame!
Before we kick off the week, how about some awesome CRIMINAL MISCHIEF against a cop from
@NYPD5Pct
who should be enforcing the law not breaking it. Well, now he's safe because I repainted his plate for him. You're welcome,
@nypdpc
Sewell โย now there's 1 less cop to discipline.
I caught this plate-covering perp near the federal courthouse in Lower Manhattan today and I figured I'd help him out ... with a little CRIMINAL MISCHIEF!
This morning, I caught a pickup-truck-driving construction worker with 243 violations going back to 2013 โย including scores of speeding tickets until mid-2022 (perhaps when he scratched off his plate?). Don't worry โ I committed some serious CRIMINAL MISCHIEF on his behalf.
I was briefly biking parallel to this moped rider on the
@NYC_DOT
Brooklyn Bridge today and was about to thank him for using the roadway and not the bike lane until ...
OK, so maybe I'm not one of the 37 reasons to love NYC right now, but my "criminal mischief" campaign has just been featured in NY Magazine and

@InsideEdition
covered my criminal mischief campaign โ he showed up in Lower Manhattan without his leaf! You're welcome,
@NYC_DOT

On one level, CRIMINAL MISCHIEF is simply about one thing: Should cops abuse the public trust in such an egregious manner ... as this perp from
@NYPD73Pct
did today on Jay Street in
@NYPD84Pct
? Answer: NO!
I just caught an
@NYPDHighway
cop committing CRIMINAL MISCHIEF by covering his plate with orange tape. Such an amateur! I saw it from a block away ... and cleaned it up nice so he can get all the tickets he deserves (and it's a lot!).
@nypdpc
Sewall โ interested in this?
I saw
@CitiBikeNYC
rider struck by a cabbie on 4th Av & St Marks at 4:40 pm. I chased the cabbie and told him "You just HIT a guy with your 5,000-lb. car and fled!" The driver said, "I didn't know." Really? Look at the record on this car!
@nyctaxi
Meet a liar whose plate says he's from Pennsylvania, but his 60 violations dating back to 2013 says he's living in Brooklyn โย well, he got some good ol' fashioned CRIMINAL MISCHIEF to-nite!
Hey,
@NYPDTransport
, I found another placard perp โ and recidivist reckless driver in NYC school zones โ among your ranks. Help protect the public and rein in this member of service!
I'm not sure why
@nypdpc
allows his officers to blatantly violate the law by defacing their plates. It's a good thing that I'm on the
#criminalmischief
beat again!
BREAKING NEWS: According to an NYPD Sgt who just called me, the cop who owns the car w- the severely defaced plate claims he has ordered a new plate. Small victories? Perhaps. Small lies? We'll be following up. But for now โ you're welcome, NYC.
BREAKING: Right now, I'm bringing my CRIMINAL MISCHIEF crime wave right to the front door of
@nypdpc
Sewell, busting a 1 Police Plaza placard perp who has defaced his plate โย perhaps after getting those 16 speed-camera tickets? Why doesn't
@NYCMayor
or
@nypd1pct
care about this?
Here's a Jersey jerk in
@NYPD5Pct
who thinks a leaf is going to protect him from speed cameras โ how's that working out? He has 62 speeding tix and 4 red light tix (15 speeding tickets this year alone!). And to think, I'm the one who could get arrested for CRIMINAL MISCHIEF!
THIRD TIME'S THE HARM for this Jersey jerk with the looong record of reckless driving โย he's now a 3-time victim of my CRIMINAL MISCHIEF. Watch me remove (again!) the leaf conveniently covering the last letter on his Garden State plate. Why won't
@NYPD5Pct
bust this guy?
Maybe
@NYCMayor
or Corp Counsel Sylvia O. Hinds-Radix can explain why a Law Dept. employee is using a city placard to drive his Audi with an illegally covered plate โ and 33 speed-camera tix! If I'd had a screwdriver, there would have been serious CRIMINAL MISCHIEF committed.
Boy, I can't wait til congestion pricing ... when self-righteous,flag-waving, placard perp jerks like this try to cheat the system. I'll be waiting for them on 59th St!
#criminalmischief
Biking through the placard corruption zone of Downtown Brooklyn, it's so easy to spot a
@NYSCourtOfficer
committing criminal mischief. So why not do the right thing and help him out?

I found another recidivist jerk who stopped getting speeding tix a few months ago โ perhaps after he defaced both his front and back plates. Well, no longer, thanks to some CRIMINAL MISCHIEF by little old moi. A kid watching me said, "What you do is love." Sure, love AND hate.
If you're just joining the CRIMINAL MISCHIEF series today, here's a great episode in which I explain why this is so important (as, of course, I commit some CRIMINAL MISCHIEF against a neighbor!).
The saga of LEAF MAN continues, as my one-man CRIMINAL MISCHIEF wave once again caught up with the Jersey jerk who keeps covering his plate with the same damn maple leaf. This is the FOURTH TIME I've had to clean up this mess. Must-see criminal mischief!
Today, I headed to Adams Street in
@NYPD84Pct
to start a new series, "Who's The Asshole." And what better place than the city's most-abused bike lane? So let's meet the cop-adjacent assholes of Adams Street! (Plus hear a new song from Jimmy and the Jaywalkers!)
Hey,
@NYPD75Pct
, I visited your filthy station house today (filthy because of how you park and disrespect your neighbors) and managed to catch TWO cops who had folded their plates in violation of the law. I wonder if
@NYPDPC
or Inspector Rohan Griffith even cares?
Here's some MUST-SEE criminal mischief! Remember that cop at
@NYPD78Pct
with the defaced plate EGT-5750? This is the same cop who told NYPD investigators last month that he would replace his plate. Guess whom I caught on Bergen St. just now?!?! We were lied to,
@nypdpc
!
In case you missed it earlier, I performed CRIMINAL MISCHIEF against a neighbor's car โย but also took a moment to explain this project with a little context about the scourge of cars.
If you've been missing my Criminal Mischief series, where I bust scofflaw drivers who deface their plates, you'll LOVE today's must-see mischief: a guy with a fake NYS temporary tag โย which doesn't even exist as a real thing!
@Jesse_Coburn
will freak out when he sees this.
Hey
@SecretaryPete
, this

call is coming from INSIDE your house! Check out this incredible fake
@USDOT
scammer I caught in Park Slope. Think this guy will pay congestion tolls? His plate isn't even being read now!
After months of daily commuting on the Bklyn Bridge, I finally saw
@NYPDCT
cops telling an illegal moped rider that she could not ride on the bike path. Imagine if
@NYPDTransport
made this a job rather than a fluke that two cops were outside the squad car on a nice day?
Another Saturday night โ and we got criminal mischief! This time, we're at (no, really AT)
@NYPD72Pct
to catch two perp cops defacing or bending their plates to avoid accountability. Nice work,
@nypdpc

Christmas is no day off on the CRIMINAL MISCHIEF beat โ but here I gave the perfect present to the woman who has everything: A NICE CLEAN PLATE to stop her two-year scam!
Say what you will about Gersh Kuntzman, but even when he's drunk on a Saturday night, he is (let's be clear, I am) always looking for CRIMINAL MISCHIEF.
People are always asking me, "What's the most surprising thing you've seen on the

@FDNY
EMT with a covered ALASKA plate? That came close.
I have been filming covered or defaced plates for about two weeks, so I'd like to remind the mainstream media on the eve of the first court appearance of
@adamlaw50
for "criminal mischief" that I will provide all my footage to anyone who wants it.
I think it's time for
@FDNY
Commish Laura Kavanagh (not on Twitter) to crack down on New York's so-called Bravest, who are willfully violating city residency rules AND traffic rules AND plate defacement rules. I caught TWO fire-eaters on 11th St. in Park Slope today!
