Pat Lynch's call for an investigation following reports that officers on Staten Island were ordered to repair a headlight on Eric Garner's mother's car to help her avoid a ticket

PBA president Patrick J. Lynch said:

“If the bosses involved fixed the ticket then they must report themselves to Internal Affairs for disciplinary charges. If the NYPD is now in the car repair business then they need to let the general public know that if they get a ticket, don't pay it, just call an NYPD boss and they'll fix it. This is just absurd.”
