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?
Very true, doesn't make much of a difference on the one hand whether it is contracted out or done in house. My point is more thata significant portion of many tow companies work is essentially privatized pig work, and that many profit off of the imiseration of poor and vulnerable people
