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!

Owner Of Desert Automotive Specialists Arrested For Predatory Towing. AGAIN.

Only several months ago, some folks would still ask me "what is predatory towing?" Now I'm reading headlines about suspects getting ARRESTED for it...
In California, the company called "Desert Automotive Specialists" has been the source of so many darkly-comic stories, all of this stuff dutifully reported by local television station KESQ. My personal favorite episode in that part of the country was when curbs were painted red to justify illegal tows.
Now comes word from KESQ of further arrests for "predatory towing," click here for article.
The station did a fine job running all four mug shots of the suspects. Some media entities might just publish one, and give the other (alleged) criminals a break, but KESQ allowed the public see what these thugs looked like under the spotlight.
And it's not a pretty sight.
