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

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

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

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

It's a fairly easy circumstantial case to prove he took it off.
cougarfann888

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

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

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

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