As a general rule, police officers get off on exercising their power over street punks like you. Well, next time Mr. Cop tells you to move it, remind him that he has to shave tomorrow.

Newsday reports that NYPD may have the power to run red lights, but not to grow beards:

A Jan. 8 memo clarifies a regulation that says officers are not allowed goatees, chinstrap beards (think Abraham Lincoln) or other "designer beards," like Mike Piazza's goatees and creative facial hair when he played for the Mets. … Officers who violate the rule may be written up as committing an infraction or may lose a vacation day.

New York protective agencies are generally pretty anti-body hair. Look at the NYFD calendar. We know those guys are old enough to grow chest hair.
