      remember what they are actually meant to do: LAW ENFORCEMENT. If the "law" says its legal to steal from people and you try to stop them, these LAW ENFORCEMENT AGENCIES will stop you. People (especially white people) have this fantasy that the problems are with individuals and/or small groups of "bad" people, where the truth is the problem is the culture of the society. But its easier to believe the lie than accept the truth, and that is why things will not truly get better.

    as a person who spends most of their day in a tow truck. I am going to give you a little tip on these booters. if its NOT from the city/town that you are in, the boot is ILLEGAL. no one has the legal authority to boot people's cars unless they are from the city/town. if you find a boot on your car the first thing is to call the local police or parking enforcement (whichever does the booting) and ask them if they put a boot on your car. if they say no, then you have every legal right to remove it.

Considering the fact that it's virtually unheard of for anyone to go around removing boots (unsolicited) from the vehicles of people they don't know, the logical conclusion is that he either removed the boot himself or got someone to do it for him (which still makes him responsible). It's kind of hard to cast reasonable doubt on the claim that he was responsible for having the boot removed from his own vehicle unless he can present hard evidence to the contrary in court.

The crook's accomplice made his rounds back through and noticed what my bro and I were beginning to do and he threw a fit.. I stood there armed while he made threats. The police showed up determined that no parking violations had occured and allowed us to proceed because he claimed to not be in possession of the key. If he is still in "business" I have no idea I just avoid Louisville altogether and stay rural.

Dollars in her purse for shopping and this creep took it after she said that she didn't have more money. I wasn't there, I was on vacation in Florida. When she told me, I asked her why she didn't call the police? She said that he was convincing and told her that her Handicap signs were expired and that he was city traffic enforcement. My mom has since pass away, but, this will always stick with me. I would have liked to catch this jerk. How many other poor older people did he do this too?

    I wonder if people called the police about this but they ignored it until it became a news story. You'd think if you had a boot on your car and a guy looking like that comes up and demands $190 that someone would call the police.

    As a tow truck driver, I can assure this dumpster fire of a human didn't have a rig capable of towing that swift truck. Nor would this scam artist be willing to pay or convince a company with a big rig wrecker to do his bidding. I was booted at my girlfriend's apartment, drilled the lock and left it in the spot for those freaking crooks.

    The fact that this went for as long as it did without law enforcement intervention solidifies my life long argument that civilians just need to take matters into their own hands. Vigilante justice is the sweetest justice around.

    I got my car towed from parking at the restaurant where I did eat.. Took me around 30min to figure out it was a scam and my car did not get stolen. The guy give me back my car after I got physical with I'm. Then did go to the police. Police said we know them and we will not do a report. I was soo mad. It's been 2 years now and those same people still operate in the same parking lot.
