But I also know people and neighbors who have been THREATENED and INTIMADATED by police for leaving their cars parked on the street. Now while I know there is a city ordinance pertaining to this and correct me if I'm wrong I believe your allowed only 48 hours of street parking. This ordinance in itself should be rectified. I know an elderly man who only drives once or twice per week and he has been threatened with towing for leaving his car on the street.

 

I know I rant and I will stop with this posting,but like you said Pacman,enough is enough.

 

Fee for an Ambulance Ride

Fee to put out the Fire

Fee to get your car towed from an accident.

 

Personally I say come Public Safety renewal time I won't be voting for it, enough is enough.

 

Next there will be a fee to have the right to go to City Council and have them tell you, "Sorry we are not set up to answer questions at this time."   It has gotten ridicules.

 

 

But as for accidents I assume most insurance policies have a ryder for towing expense. But this isn't about accidents,it's about the guy who can't afford to fix his car this week because he has a family to feed and then our city hero's come along and tow his car for which he has to pay $175 to get back. This is about your vehicle sitting on the street for 5 days and some cop decides it's abandoned and has it towed. This is about being tyrannical and wanting to stuff city coffers. This is about an all out attack on a class of people.

 

Of course if you park your cadillac in the garage of your $250,000 house it's not a problem. If you never drive the back streets and see how people live in the lesser neighborhoods it doesn't matter because it doesn't affect you. If you need a mechanic you hire one because you have money,if a poor person needs a mechanic HE IS the mechanic because he can't afford one !

 

Do something for the working class poor for once city council & city administrators !!
