The repo man is back: Jose Rodriguez was behind the wheel of his tow truck Friday, a little over two weeks after police seized it when he tried to repossess a detective’s car.

“It was a good feeling to get my truck back,” Rodriguez told NY1. ...”

Rodriguez has promised to clear up all of the violations on his truck: a missing front license plate, tinted windows and a lack of signage.

Ironically, Rodriguez’s company, Finest Towing and Auto Body, is a huge supporter of the NYPD. Rodriguez’s partner’s truck is decorated in NYPD blue, and the company has donated more than $20,000 to the Blue Lives Matter movement since September.

This proves it was an abuse of power by police. Being a cop doesn’t exempt you from paying your car payments.

Bet he doesn’t donate to them anymore.

I guess the NYPD can kiss any future donations good bye.

I’d feel sorry for him, I’d be enraged towards police who abused their powers, but no signage on the truck, tint that’s pretty much in violation of just about any state’s regs, and no front license plate. You wanna make yourself a target, don’t complain when someone hits the bullseye.
