On the evening of May 30, 2007, Ninth Precinct cops, led by Ninth Precinct Lieutenant Robert Corcoran, executed “Operation: Bike Raid” on East Sixth Street, between First and Second Avenues. As cops with special metal cutting saws chewed through locks and chains on bikes locked to parking meters and streets signs, Sixth Street resident Robert Carnevale confronted them, having received a call from his girlfriend outside his apartment building. Carnevale quickly rang buzzers in buildings on his block to warn his neighbors that their bikes were being taken and then returned to the scene of the crime, taking The camera shy Lt. Corcoran photos of cops loading the dozen or so bikes they had just stolen into two unmarked dark blue vans with paneling over the side windows. (These vans can be seen regularly parked outside the Ninth Precinct on East Fifth Street.) After taking still photos, Carnevale switched his digital camera to video mode, filming the cops in action. At one point, he approached the plain-clothed Lt. Corcoran, who was obviously in charge of the operation. Annoyed that Carnevale asked him for his name, Corcoran mumbled it. When asked to repeat his name by spelling it, Corcoran told him: “You got my name, I did you a favor. . . . now I’m going to lock you up.” In addition to arresting Carnevale, Corcoran busted a woman passing by who dared to ask what was going on. He charged both with “Disorderly Conduct” and put them through the system.
Give a pussy a badge and this happens every time !
Waste of fucking time! While real criminals get away.
he didnt read you your rights,. .not sure if you noticed that or not . . what grounds was he arresting you for disorderly how? camera must have been off.
must of been the end of the month. cops have their own menstrual cycles. i was once driving to school on the BQE and some asshole trooper had a check point a 2 lane highway telling random people to pull over. i just remember getting to the checkpoint and him point at me and waving me to the side. i just sped off. it was one cop. he didnt even look at me because he was too busy writing tickets. 2 hr fucking delay. all for some asshole making his commission.

Wow I can’t believe that shit!
it’s okay for the NYPD to steal bikes. cops do such a good job of making asses of themself. no wonder they’re hated by such a large populus.

Unbelievable!! I hope the officer lost his job!

The cop doesn’t even know Rhode Island is part of the US.
