If you read the general internet it's all mobbed up guys stealing cars from law-abiding single mothers for no reason at all but then again if I believed the general public about parking violation enforcement here in germany I'd come to the conclusion they're the new jews.
So how bad is that whole privatized towing / enforcement thing, really? Is there an actual problem beyond "it's a private company" or is it mostly carbrain tears?
Would you feel differently about this if it was like a municipal thing? I.e. it's either run as a non profit or it's just whatever department is in charge of traffic violations that orders them to do whatever?
