Unfortunately, without significant Public Relations efforts, and frankly a more open-minded NYC police force, there's likely nothing we can do about this.
I'd recommend you just be careful. There are plenty of things that a person can think you are doing in the middle of the night in a car on the side of the street with no headlights on. I'm sure none of them are "checking email".

Wireless hotspot Loitering legalities?
I was just wondering if there is any possible way that a cop can hassle me while using a free hotspot, such as the many free listed in NYC.
I was recently in my car using a free hotspot, in a legally parked spot, low music, no headlights on, (it was night). Suddenly someone comes to their house door and stares at me and my car. I was parked in fron of their house, but I wasn't doing anything wrong. The guy got on his phone. I was on my way out anyways, so I just left before having to deal with any police if that's who he called. I have a good feeling I will run into the police one day, but I know I'm not doing anything wrong.
But can a cop give me a problem one day? And with what legal reason?
