I had a roommate get a boot for having one wheel 1/2 inch ON (not over) the line
for his own assigned parking spot.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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