There is a pickup truck on Staten Island that's racked up $36,000 in speeding tickets in the last four years. That truck belongs to an NYPD police officer. He's the second worst speeder in the entire city. Today, we're taking the ferry over to his precinct to ask him a few questions. Hey, we are trying to get in touch with a cop named James Giovansanti. Do you know if he works here?

We just got out of the police precinct here in St. George on Staten Island. The cop that we were looking for was not there, So we are about to hop on a bus and knock on his door. We can't answer the door right now, but if you'd like to leave a message, you can do that now. Hi, I'm looking for James Juvenzante. Nobody came to the door, so I left a letter with my contact information. Then we waited for a few minutes, and sure enough, someone came to collect the letter. Get away from my house before I call the cops. Right now. Get out of here. I am calling the
