Car Towed For Outstanding Library Fines

Arlington, VA Uses Bootfinder Camera to Tow for Overdue Library Books

Arlington, VA and New Haven, CT are using a new camera technology to tow cars with unpaid parking tickets or overdue library fees.

Towed awayArlington, Virginia has taken the next step in automated camera enforcement. Next month, it will expand its use of "BootFinder," a camera device that scans license plates of parked cars and compares it against a database of unpaid fines. If the car's owner is listed as delinquent, the car can be towed -- and if the owner doesn't pay within 10 days the car is auctioned.



It may be time to create a non-profit shell corporation that owns our vehicles.
