Editorial ”Don’t scoff” relates “As arrest warrants pile up, it’s easy to think you can get away with not paying fines for traffic and other violations….In a county with a population topping 500,000, more than 56,000 arrest warrants are waiting to be served.”
WATCHDOG: Forget the warrant. Give them the ‘boot’!
After three outstanding violations for a vehicle, simply attach the device to a tire that prevents it from moving. It is as effective as towing and much easier, faster and cheaper. Install a ‘boot’ ten times each day, especially in high pedestrian traffic areas where they can be seen, and people will soon be responding promptly to summons.
Lancaster City already does this, purchasing more “boots” so more scofflaws can be convinced to pay up.
