There Is a Reason Why "To Protect & To Serve" Is Not the Motto of the NYPD

Because "To Harass and Annoy" would be far closer to the truth.

Say you are on a subway train. You're coming home from working overtime on a second shift job. There are two other people in the subway car. You're tired as hell nd you spread out over a couple of seats. No harm, right?

Wrong. A NYPD goon will drag your ass off the train for "seat-hogging" and give you a $50 ticket.

The cops are doing it because, to put it bluntly, they are lazy-ass fucks. They can just stand in the station and look in the windows of the subway trains that pull into the station. They don't have to chase anybody or do anything other than go in a train and order people off.

The only thing that this accomplishes, though, is to create more animosity between the people of the city and the cops that are, supposedly, there to protect them.

I imagine there is probably pressure from above also. A lot of cities are pushing for police to jack up the amount of tickets in order to boost the revenue coming into the city.
