LOL!!!
And the corruption and authoritorian nonsense continues on...
I can't wait to see how the excusists and apologists try to justify this one...
Absolutely unreal.
"We'll impound people's vehicles like hotcakes, make the courts tons of money, then drive around their cars while the peons are without any
transportation!"
Ya think this doesn't provide MOTIVATION for these crooks to find reasons to impound cars?
Welcome to Gestapo-ville, USA, where your vehicle can be impounded, then used as TPTB see fit, even as their own personal transport.
The St. Louis program had an additional benefit. The tow yard became a virtual rental car agency for local police officers who would take out
"abandoned" cars for their own free, personal use for months at a time. The "test drive" privilege extended also to Aimie Mokwa.
If the officers and their relatives enjoyed the vehicles, they were offered the opportunity to purchase them at discounts of up to 75 percent. For
example, Aimie Mokwa "rented" a one-year-old Dodge Neon that had been impounded in May 2001. In September 2002 she flipped the Neon after crashing
into two parked cars on perfectly dry pavement.
