It is not acceptable behavior to be hit by a police car. City Sends Bill for Repairs to Bicyclist that Was Hit By a Police Car
04/08/2013 The city added a thousand-dollar insult to an already painful injury when it demanded that a Brooklyn cyclist pay for damage to the police car that struck and sent him flying. I think its preposterous, said Justin Johnsen, 31, who received the $1,263.01 bill from the city last month for the Nov. 5 accident on Flushing Avenue that left him with deep cuts that required stitches. I was upset. I was in kind of disbelief that they were going to send this letter after four months or so and ask me to pay damages for their vehicle, when they hit me when I was on a bicycle, added Johnsen, who was not ticketed for the crash. The case is at least the third in recent months in which the city has billed people for damages to police cars that hit people.
