Selective enforcement, Brooklyn style: a mistakenly-imprisoned guy gets summonsed for sitting in a park without a minor, but Atlantic Yards construction workers go unscathed
From today's New York Times, Exoneration for a Man in Prison for 2 Years:

But on the very day that he was released, he was roped back into the system. A police officer gave him a summons for sitting in the park without a minor.
