A red Mazda sped past a police officer’s unmarked car stationed at a tree-lined Staten Island intersection. The officer inside, Mathew Bianchi, clocked the Mazda at well over the limit and prepared to make a stop at a nearby streetlight. Bianchi had been instructed to let card carriers off without a ticket. By the time he pulled over the Mazda in November 2018, drivers were handing Bianchi these cards six or seven times a day. So Bianchi did the wrong thing, which is to say, the right thing: He wrote the woman a ticket.
