Attaching any handbill to a windshield is against the law
From an alert reader:
To paraphrase Mary McCarthy, every word in the Brooklyn Standard is a lie, including "and" and "the". Even the bylines are lies!
Attaching any handbill to a windshield is against the law in NYC. See: www.nyc.gov/html/dsny/html/pr2003/110303.shtml
This law went into effect in 2003. The fine is $75 per handbill. Small price to pay, of course, when you're anticipating profits on the scale of Ratner's. Laws like these mostly hurt small, locally owned businesses like car washes, not huge corporations like FCRC, which would just write it off as a business expense on the remote chance they ever actually received a ticket.
