Provo tow truck drivers are NOT people

I had a roommate get a boot for having one wheel 1/2 inch ON (not over) the line

9/1/15 7:15pm

Your roommate should have learned to park properly.

9/1/15 7:22pm

This would be a legitimate argument if Provo apartment complexes had

RBCoug

9/1/15 10:22pm

It's tough to park a Geo Metro between the lines at some of the complexes, let

I'm surprised you didn't argue that the global warming cause the wheel to expand

Bob Vance

9/1/15 9:25pm

That would be out of character since cars ARE the problem.

9/1/15 10:35pm

Wasn't there some story on here about some guy that got a boot on his car

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 7:32pm

I know someone that did this and campus police charged him with vandalism

cougarfann888

9/1/15 8:36pm

What??!!! Did he damage the boot? How would they even prove it was him that

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 8:39pm

This happened to my friend, but it was off-campus (Provo police) instead of

fredgarvin

9/1/15 8:56pm

It's a fairly easy circumstantial case to prove he took it off.

cougarfann888

9/1/15 9:10pm

He just needs to dump the boot once off and say it wasn't him.

Typically, you can get a boot off with a spark plug socket and a wrench

I need marks number😜

Superman21

I have a friend whose motorcycle got booted.

thecelloguy

That's hilarious.

UNLVcougar

9/2/15 3:54pm

Agree with you. Don't care to type the details, but Those guys sure know how

OmahaThunderCoug

9/1/15 7:34pm

Is there any thing they could do that wouldn't tick people off?

SpiffCoug

9/1/15 7:35pm

Probably not, but some of the things they do is downright awful. They

OmahaThunderCoug

9/1/15 7:43pm

That's exactly what they do.

byuluvr

9/1/15 7:58pm

I hate Provo towing companies but it sounds like the decision to tow was correct

byuluvr

9/1/15 7:38pm

This could be caused by the way others are parked too.

BandW

9/1/15 7:56pm

You give a ticket, you don't tow over petty crap like that

Left Shark Coug

9/1/15 9:26pm

Depends on if the parking lot is full except for the spot by the bad parking job

byuluvr

9/1/15 9:29pm

Still don't agree. Give a ticket. That's not worth an immediate tow.

Left Shark Coug

9/1/15 9:35pm

The penalty does not match crime, that's the real issue. A $25 parking ticket

bYu95070

9/1/15 11:11pm

Exactly. Depriving a student of a month's wages over 6 inches is disproportional

Sandstone Cougar

9/1/15 11:59pm

Mayor Curtis is well aware of the predatory towing practices in Provo

RockyBalboa

9/1/15 7:54pm

Probably not high on their priority list.

OmahaThunderCoug

RE: Mayor Curtis is well aware of the predatory towing practices in Provo

Slackthat

9/1/15 8:30pm

Yeah, it's all lip service. If he really cared, it would have changed by now.

fredgarvin

9/1/15 8:58pm

Yup it's a decades old problem. Nothing new here. And they are scum.

9/1/15 10:13pm

It changed significantly last year.

Sherlock

9/2/15 2:12am

They have started offering financial incentives to owners to give pre consent to

cougarfann888

9/2/15 7:16am

yep so they are still able to tow the same way as the owners have given

crimedog

9/2/15 7:36am

who's going to want to be bothered for every tow?

conetah

9/2/15 7:33am

In the city where I work they passed an ordinance that no fine for parking

Cyclogist

9/2/15 7:11am

I had torn my ACL and MCL and had a handicap permit displayed

Nickels Is Money Too

9/1/15 8:21pm

Crossing guards? Are they shaking down kids for their lunch money or something?

9/1/15 8:27pm

The orange folks that direct parking.

Nickels Is Money Too

9/1/15 8:59pm

Well... Since they are directing traffic and not helping kids cross the street

9/2/15 1:59am

Good thing most people don't think like you...

Ymer Dunker

9/1/15 9:01pm

I think most people DO think like him; you're the lone ranger on this one

ColoSpgs

Thank you for enlightening me on the moral values your religion teaches

Ymer Dunker

9/1/15 9:26pm

Fair comment

ColoSpgs

9/1/15 9:55pm

I'm not in the business. Just think violence is not the answer.

Ymer Dunker

9/2/15 6:48am

^^^^former towing company employee.

UNLVcougar

9/1/15 10:51pm

Yeah, punching would be disproportionate. Just like a $400 fee for parking

Sandstone Cougar

9/2/15 12:03am

You sir are 100% correct!

SportsCalc

I'm ok with a little bit of violence. Especially if it's to someone who is

I seriously doubt there is ANYTHING you could teach me.

Ymer Dunker

Ummm..WRONG. He is absolutely correct.

BabyOx

Did something happen that I missed?

TouchdownCougars

9/1/15 10:30pm

Tow companies can be a pain, but sometimes there is another side

9/1/15 10:33pm

Maybe due to the fact that it involves a football player 4 days before

SportsCalc

9/2/15 12:22am

Where does it say it involves a football player?

9/2/15 1:54am

Wow

SportsCalc

You're right. I guess M Davis isn't a starter on a football team that

You would side with the towing companies.

Sue them....get a lawyer

digitalayon

9/2/15 12:45am

I feel the same way about cops handing out tickets for ticky-tack crap.

9/2/15 12:59am

Call the police. They usually understand and are helpful if there is wrongdoing.

cougdonaldg

9/2/15 1:20am

They get 40% commission on what you pay.

Sherlock

9/2/15 2:14am

People who go into that line of work have something wrong with them.

BYU's parking enforcement staff had some terrible people as well. I've often

I always thought it was fitting they had them wear brown shirts.

davevine

Yeah, they are likely broke and just need a job

thecthdox

9/2/15 12:29pm

Most people who are broke and just need a job get a different job than that.

I think you need to spend more time in the computer lab you "got kicked out of".

9/2/15 9:57pm

Quite an expensive lesson on how to park. 6 inches over the line is ridiculous

What does this have to do with BYU football?

9/2/15 7:35am

Davis busted for allegedly assaulting a tow truck driver...verbally

bayareacoug

He should be rewarded then

thecelloguy

I think CB should Jimmer the tow truck companies

bayareacoug

Thanks!
