“And what is Newburgh Heights charging for? Calling the cops for an accident. “
Is it any worse than fees charged by ambulance and fire departments for response and services? I even know of a for profit medical helicopter service who charges a fee if fire/ems puts the crew on stand by alert but the flight is later cancelled. The cops in this town are just getting their cut of the pie, as wrong as it may seem. If the fees keep taxes spent on policing from rising, maybe the practice should expand elsewhere. Still it just does not seem right in a twentieth century way.
