"They have to pay the storage rate of $22 per day. Then they have the $97 impound fee and a $93 release fee," said Wolf's driver Bobby Huggins as he paused to complete paperwork. "We auction them off all the time; every Tuesday morning there's a lien sale of vehicles that we've towed away and people either don't want them or they can't pay the fees."
Who gets the proceeds from the sale of the vehicles. Or, for that matter, does the tow company get 100% of the impound and release fees? Maybe I'm in the wrong business.
Ecactly and that's a problem.
You'd think the "law" would find a way to allow and make available for, deputies and sheriff's to deport the illegals they do pick up and find, and that there would be a system in place to do so.
I guess it's wishful thinking?
That's exactly the problem.... our local police set up DUI roadstops.. then show the stats.. "drunk drivers caught - 2" "cars towed for various violations - 36"
It's a revenue generating proposition.. and it's not just people with revoked or suspended licences they tow, it's those who forgot their wallet or purse at home....if you do not present the proper papers immediately, you will be towed...
It seems to me that you're talking about it as though it weren't your problem. Elected folks made those laws. Elected folks can change them.
That's just it. I have voted, however the folks that ended up getting elected (say the Governor of AZ for instance), don't do squat about it.
Then what?
And get used to the idea that it's going to take a couple of decades. Goldwater was nominated in 1964 and got crunched. Reagan takes it 16 years later ....
Politics is not an instant gratification bidnis. Right now it looks like a bunch of your fellow citizens disagree with you. Time to do some persuading.
I support the Minute Men.
And I disagree that a bunch of my fellow citizens agree with me now. Back in 04 when they elected this governor, maybe, but now I think the tide has turned and I PRAY, in 08, they elect someone who is serious about protecting our borders and enforcing laws and actually does something about it. :)
