This is at about 7,332 on the list of problems in Memphis and within what city government operating like a third world tribal cabal. The county treasurer hasn’t paid office rents at their customer service locations, so they are being evicted. Meanwhile, Caribbean cruises, relatives on payrolls and contracts, catered meals, hotels, wardrobe, nails, hair weaves, and Mercedes Leases.

I don’t know how bad tow companies are today but historically they are some of the sleaziest entities that most people will ever run into.

Scam and collusion with the local law enforcement. I have seen this type of thing before. It’s the good old boy turn their heads and not see anything scam. I once helped the feds bust a California scale and safety inspection station for illegal activity similar collusion.

They had a scam where the state DOT inspectors were backing off the brake adjustment so it could be red tagged. They had a service right on the next exit that always got called out on a service call to adjust the brakes by someone certified before they would release the vehicle.

So the feds stopped in my truck repair business and had me adjust the brakes on a tractor and trailer. They had their own DOT certified technician watch me every step to make sure I did it by the book. Now they had a receipt from an independent civilian certified shop that was only 20 miles from the scales.

Read it in the newspaper a few days later that the state DOT inspectors at the scales did indeed back off the brakes on that truck and that the feds busted them in an undercover sting operation.

A1’s said it’s following state laws that supersede city law and has filed a lawsuit against the City of Memphis, the Memphis Police Chief, and multiple MPD officers, accusing them of “weaponizing a civil municipal ordinance to discriminate against the minority-owned company.”

Way down in the article... no mention of the specific "minority" though... Wakandians? Minorities do not have to observe municipal ordinances?

A predatory scam. A1 in this case should be put out of business, multiple people should be put in jail. However, I doubt it will happen.

With this kind of stuff going on, is it even safe to live in Tennessee anymore?

Shirley Holland admitted she didn’t pay the $13 fee to park but said when she tried to pay a $275 booting fee, she was told it was too late and they were towing the truck. Her employer was forced to pay $12,950 to get the vehicle back.

There should be a much lower cap to get a truck back.

Part of the ‘Dixie Mafia’? Perhaps the risk/reward for bootlegging and prostitution isn’t as good as for towing scam.

Tennessee Attorney General should be involved.

It sounds like the towing company and the Police Department are in cahoots. I would not doubt if the Mayor and City Council are not in on the scam also. The best thing to do is stay your ass out of Memphis. Fuel up before you get to Memphis. Do your business and get the hell out.
