I think street justice will make a comeback. The people will start to go after crime -- because no one else is.
Well, from the article, that also means SFPD and the courts cannot impound vehicles of unlicensed citizens or legal immigrants......that equal protection thing the courts love to expound on....works both ways unless the city wants to be sued under civil rights violations when they impound a car of an unlicensed legal resident.
All Americans should learn Spanish and hide their birth certificates. Then we can stop paying taxes, get free medical care, be exempt from the need for licenses and IDs, send our kids to out of state colleges for in-state tuition, etc.
We live in Bizarro World!
“towing and impounding cars “wreaked havoc” on undocumented workers. “People need their cars to go to work, take their kids to school, to the hospital,”
...this is absurd! Illegals going to “work”, “school” and the “hospital” are going there illegally, using these facilities illegally, leaving them illegally and breaking the law every second they’re in this country...illegally!! So they’re giving them a break so they can continue to break the law and be illegal!?
How many times is this story going to be posted?
The policy of impounding cars (essentially “confiscation”) due to a technical infraction was a massive government over-reach in the first place. The “average” cost of retrieving these cars comes to almost $3,000. (+ the cost of doing without the car until the court releases the impound)
I wonder what the reaction would be if the article was framed as:
“Impound policy relaxed as city storage areas fill with over leveraged BMW’s abandoned by cash strapped owners. Banks refuse to release titles to authorize auction sales costing the city millions.”
Impound policies are almost universally a violation of due process rights, they should be abolished whether they help illegals or not.
