Frankie “Frankie Legs,” a well-known pedicab driver in New York City, experienced significant harassment from Park Rangers. During an incident last Thursday, Frankie was given three summonses and had his pedicab driver’s license confiscated. The charges included parking in a non-designated area, refusing to provide his ID, and not having a valid license. Frankie contested these actions, arguing that he was unfairly targeted. The New York City Parks Department later admitted their mistake, stating that Frankie’s license was valid and should not have been taken. They retracted the summons related to the license and returned it to Frankie. However, Frankie still plans to fight the remaining two summonses in court.
