Can I Legally Remove A Boot From My Tire That Was Put On By A Local Towing Company?

February 24, 2010 Paul 5 comments

I got my tire booted by parking at my girlfriend’s apartment. I was there 30 minutes and she fed me dinner and came out and bam my tire is booted, its a cheap one so I can easily remove the tire and put on a spare but is it legal?? I dont want to end up paying more if the police show up or something of that sort?

Towing company does not have authority to boot a vehicle. They either have to tow it at that point in time, or they don’t get it. The police dept. DOES have the authority to boot a vehicle, and must be removed prior to being towed.
There should be some paperwork to go along with it, under the wiper blade or on the radio antenna. If it was a cheap one and no paperwork, I’d have that thing off as fast as I could, and go on about my business.

its not legal to remove the boot but if you don’t get caught who’s to know,and you will need a sawsall a torch will catch your car on fire not good,so it’s up to you feel lucky or not.the parking ticket will be cheaper if caught removing the boot.there not cheap may look it but their not….

remove it at your own risk becuase you’ll have to pay the ticket and for the damaged boot.
