Tow trucks are towing ICE vehicles

[22lcidw]

That's a terrible idea.

The system we have even to survive in its current form needs hard decisions from the bloated government of the last 4 years. Every group that come here has had to go through growing pains. Unfortunately, we do not shut off the spigot when needed and most of the people coming in speak Spanish even from different nations. So, there is a kinship with tens of millions of people who have not assimilated into the American culture as there are too many here. So, this is what we see with people raising different flags in riots as an example. If you want the prize, you have to play the game. That means becoming American while you still remember your roots.

So apparently a growing group of tow truck drives are stalking ICE vehicles that are illegally parked, not tagged, and not marked as government vehicles. Now strictly obeying the letter of the law this is the correct thing to do, in fact what many of them get paid to do.

However I have a feeling this isn't gonna go over too well in some circles.

Not too smart especially if they know what they're doing. What will happen is the government will recover its vehicles and the tow service will not be paid for what it did. After this happens enough times they'll get the message.

What a shocker….. California prioritizes parking enforcement over immigration enforcement.

This thread appears to assume the towtruck drivers aren't just grabbing double parked vehicles because thats how they make money.

Doesn't a vehicle have to be cited by an officer before being towed? I find it hard to believe that tow truck companies can arbitrarily effect what amounts to a citizen's arrest without evidence.

I have no idea how it works in LA. Just throwing an idea out there.

 

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Well, this lawsuit should be interesting.

After all, why is it that state and local police dont' get towed? Oh, thats right, They have a dispensation.

I hope they fine them [tow drivers] heavily.

.

At least.

That's what makes me think that this is a whole load of lies.

[OhPleaseJustQuit]

Why would that give you a stiffy?

.

Wishful thinking.

[Crepitus]

That’s a good way to get your tow truck company raided by ICE.

Retaliation?

That's illegal.

Aren't they pretending to be the good guys?

 

[Crepitus]

If they are unmarked, untagged, then how do they know they are ice vehicles?

You'd have to ask the drivers.

Not on topic, as usual, But look at you trying to rationalize racism, lol.

I've stated many times on this board what I would do.

So, what's the problem? State it again...Jesus, why do you people so often make it so hard to get a straight answer out of you?

Are you ashamed of your stance?

 

[j-mac]

Just spit ball'n here... But...

#1 Mark the vehicles/tags

#2 When not possible, have a folding sign that goes in the windshield. If Subaru can figure out how to make one I'm sure ICE can hire them if they need help.

So, you'd like for illegals be fore warned of the operations?

I'd arrest the owner of the establishment.

No.

Both parties have been kicking this can down the road. They've had decades to properly address this issue and have just allowed the status quo to fester instead.

Biden proposed a comprehensive and affective bipartisan bill last year, Trump knocked it down due to....reasons.

Doubt you'll ever get a chance for such a great bill again in the near future.
