    There's some cases of people/workers/contractors... but he's confronted other people who are back there doing drugs, banging hookers, etc... he's also tracked people down after they have dumped from addresses on the mail in the trash and gone to their homes. Many times he has followed up enough to get the people expensive tickets. I love what he's doing, but somebody is going to hit back at him

    Hmmmm.....

    Third paragraph:
    The contention comes amid at least one FBI investigation into the city’s towing practices, in which Detroit police officers have been suspended for allegedly taking bribes from a towing company. The police department’s legal adviser resigned after officials learned she also was under federal investigation in connection with the towing operations.
    At the end: (Sounds familiar)
    In that case, a police source familiar with the investigation told The News the suspended officers were accused of taking bribes from an undisclosed tow company owner in exchange for funneling work, including towing stolen cars, to the firm.

    At least there's action on some front. I'm frustrated the FBI isn't doing more about the actual car theft ring (which is surely connected).
    It's my fault for making it look so easy.

    City of Detroit said that car theft is down 31% first quarter 2019 compared with first quarter 2017. The change? They banned Nationwide Towing. I can't believe that in a racket this big, somebody isn't talking. Whoever was running it must be one scary mother fucker if nobody is talking.

    Judge Colombo;

    "The claim is that these Wayne County Sheriff deputies are interfering with
    the investigation of car theft in Detroit," the judge wrote. "This court agrees."

    I've said it before and I'll say it again, that's a clusterfuck of a situation.

    Reading the judge's opinion, it sounds like there's some obvious evidence pointing towards the tow company doing some very shady tows.

    I love the part about the 2018 RAM just getting pulled from auction and used for the police department tho lol.

    A lot if not all of the towing in the city is shady. They are taking the right steps by moving towards handling it themselves like a lot of other big cities do as long as some of the current players dont end up with their hands in the process.
