Take my personal liberty, and perhaps I will spend a night in jail with interesting companions. But take my vehicle for several days, and you might be taking my means of income, my relationship with my family, friends, and romantic partners, indeed, you might be taking my life and future itself. It is totally unacceptable that American vehicles should be seized on such flimsy grounds, made so difficult to locate, and be ransomed at such high cost in time and money. Enough!

Just today, word comes of numerous city fees being jacked up in Escondido, California, including police department fees on towed vehicles. ($135 to $175, or $175 to $200, depending on the size of the vehicle)
But to take away the pain, sort of, I offer an image of the rotunda of lovely Escondido City Hall.
Feast your eyes on this, folks! Your tax dollars hard at work building this spectacular temple to the glory of municipal bureaucrats.
