    This is funny if you ask me.... Some of the things the cops are writing tickets for are just plain ridiculous... Its all about the revenue and nothing to do with protecting the community... Our economy sucks and they just pray on people to keep their over inflated budgets...they need to do some real police work and start working on the real issue called "violent crimes", that is at an all time high in America...

    I was wondering if this would make it here, I know that on our towing boards there are lots of talk about it..

    I think there is a lot more to this behind the scenes, that it becomes funny to read what the press reports... After all the press is always looking for the " it bleeds, it leads" type of information....

    From what I have heard from some people who know a bit more there is a lot more to this story and to the stress that the driver was under at the time...

    It will be interesting to follow this though the courts as it will be eyeopening.

    Violent crime in America is DOWN and has been on the decline for several years.

    I am chuckling at this one.

    I wonder though...was the officer in a no parking immediate tow away zone? If he was, wasn't the tow truck driver technically in the right?

    What if the tow truck was parked there for some reason, would the officer have it towed?

    I mean, yeah, its obvious the guy did it out of bad intent...but ya know....as evil as cops are..
