Obviously, charges don’t work. But hey, why not more charges. somebody should be charged for stupidity.
Towing, what comes to mind? bulling, over charging, holding hostages, broken promises, unethical drivers.
I can’t believe this has been going on since the early 70’s and the powers to be can’t or won’t clean it up.
