Fight the Ignorance - Not the Boot

I recently came across a website called FIGHTHTEBOOT.COM where the owner of the website states that he was unjustly booted because he parked on private property right in front of a sign and did not pay a measly two dollars for the parking spot and then was booted. Watch the video hereThe owner of the car then decided he was not going to pay for the removal, purchased a lock cutter, and in front of a local news channel while on video proceeded to cut the lock off. He then cry’s “he’s running a racket here” notice the next shot is one of his car parked right in front of the sign. That sign reads “there is no free parking available for subway. If you choose to park here you must pay at the box. At the end of the video he decides to make a note. Dick ever heard of “presumption of innocence”? Innocent until proven guilty? Private land or not, the owner does not have the right to contract out vigilantes to prey upon people like this. This is not a parking control. It’s a money grab. Please grow a brain. The fact the fees are 25x more than the price of the parking lot should be a clue here as to what is going on. Arbitrary fees are illegal here. Furthermore, to side with the boot man is to agree that “due process” and the right to appeal need not apply here. Isn’t that kind of self defeating?

Now that I have stopped laughing lets break that down.

Dick ever heard of “presumption of innocence”? Innocent until proven guilty?

This is not a court, your are not being charged with a crime, the property owner is enforcing his parking rules.

Private land or not, the owner does not have the right to contract out vigilantes to prey upon people like this.

Its private property! if you want to park there you have to abide by his rules and pay the machine if not you get booted.

This is not a parking control. It’s a money grab. Please grow a brain. The fact the fees are 25x more than the price of the parking lot should be a clue here as to what is going on.

Will you ever park in that parking lot again? That’s called parking control. The fee has to be one that will correct the action, if you only charge those 2 dollars after the fact, and then people will try to get away with it thinking if I get caught then I still only have to pay two dollars.

Arbitrary fees are illegal here.

This is not based on a whim or chance you decided to park and not pay. It’s the owners property not your therefore you have no say. They’re recovering fee’s

Furthermore, to side with the boot man is to agree that “due process” and the right to appeal need not apply here. Isn’t that kind of self defeating?

Stop trying to be the victim here. Due process and the right to appeal refer to a criminal judgment, or criminal charges, not a civil matter. You should have called the police got the guys information, paid the fee and then tried to recover it in civil court. But you didn’t, you decided to take it into your own hands, isn’t that what got you booted in the first place? Now that is self-defeating.

NMtruthteller does believe that the boot man should have more pay options, should give a receipt, have a business name and business license. Ultimately this is a civil matter and should be handled as such. We believe that the police should be called only to keep the peace, and obtain information if necessary.
