Car Forum / Driving, Maintenance, Tuning / Driving / May 2008Tiger Team's Newest Weapon: A Civic With a License Plate Scanner!
LA's "Tiger Team" is a group of police/city employees who enforce the "no parking on busy commuter routes during rush hour" laws, towing illegally parked vehicles. Now they have a white Honda Civic with cameras mounted all over it and jammed with computer equipment that scans the license plates of every vehicle parked along the curb and stores that information along with the GPS coordinates. It keeps track of how long each has been parked there, checks for stolen vehicles, vehicles with Amber alerts, scofflaws with multiple unpaid tickets, etc. The ticket is $140, the towing is $184, and the storage fees are astronomical. That Civic should pay for itself in the first week. :)  Signature"Dave's not here, man!" - Tommy Chong > LA's "Tiger Team" is a group of police/city employees who enforce the > "no parking on busy commuter routes during rush hour" laws, towing [quoted text clipped - 6 lines] > etc. The ticket is $140, the towing is $184, and the storage fees are > astronomical.

Most tow operators charge like $75. >> LA's "Tiger Team" is a group of police/city employees who enforce the >> "no parking on busy commuter routes during rush hour" laws, towing [quoted text clipped - 9 lines] > Sounds like a good idea making these law breakers pay though the $184 > towing fee sounds like gouging.

Chances are they aren't city employees, but contractors who get a piece of the action. They have a profit motive to find anyone in violation of the letter of the law. They even keep their "commission" if the ticket is dismissed by the court. Just another "revenue opportunity" for the local government. |
