Apparently they have private contractors doing this. This guy was called the “boot man”. This kinda crap needs to be given the BOOT. Law enforcement should be the ONLY entity authorized to boot a vehicle ... PERIOD.

exactly

where is the due process when someone can just boot someone else’s car?

and how come people who came here and aren’t citizens and can’t speak english have these jobs?

Do you mean that you, as a homeowner, don't think that you have the right to have a strange vehicle (Who knows? Drug-dealers?) illegally parked on your property (tresspassing / unlawful entry, anyone?) booted, towed, or otherwise "dealt with?" Ever hear of the "Castle Doctrine?"

The convenience store clerk was only exercising his right as the representative of the store (property-owner). He exercised it stupidly, in that he didn't recognize that it was an ambulance, but...

Actually, I don’t think anyone, including police, should be allowed to immobilize a vehicle. This is an example of what could happen - rightly or wrongly.

If the police have a reason to boot a vehicle, then they have another reason to locate and charge the owner for the offense. Booting the vehicle is something akin to calling a weapon the perpetrator.

If you park your vehicle on my private property without my permission, I can do most anything to it that I wish, short of major damage.
