Told why, he abruptly stopped talking, took the ticket, and ran into the campus police office, though he didn't move the Blazer. The next stop was Tremont and Oak streets, where a BMW, license 871 YWV, and a Ford pickup, plate 1300 GN, both displayed white tickets. At the Ford, a Boston police officer working a detail approached. When told what was happening, he too, suddenly stopped talking and removed the ticket, though he didn't feed the meter. And neither did the two detail officers on Harrison Street, who rushed over to remove a white ticket from a red pickup, licensed KB 67, while Turner inspected another ticket that had been waving from a green F-150, plate 9335, for days.
Penalties range from reprimand to suspension.
Emerson chief Bill McCabe was less reserved when told about the Blazer, however. It's certainly listed to one of his relatives,'' he said, also questioning exactly how his officer obtained the white ticket.
