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?
Yeah parking enforcement is the one area I think fines are pretty reasonable, as long as they’re income adjusted. Like yeah, we do need to be able to discourage people from parking where they shouldn’t, but that doesn’t mean we should hold their cars hostage and ruin their lives.
