I just saw a car booted in CBD with two of those boots with high quality rubber/plastic connectors...

What keeps people from using high-grade tin snips and cutting them off, throwing them in the river, and being done with it?

When they eventually catch up to you, you'll find out what it costs to pay for a replacement boot.

I think you might need heavier equipment to remove a boot.

Right? I mean it's not like there's anything on your vehicle they could use to identify you....

Nothing, just let me know the cost when they pick up your plate again for that scanning van.

I know it pisses them off that they scan my license plate and see a couple grand in tickets. Too bad I am in the driveway and untouchable.

They drive by, scan everyone's plate. If you have an outstanding ticket they can boot you for a civil judgement.

You pay to get the boot off for a civil crime.

Cut it off, go to DMV tell them your license plate was stolen.
Problem solved

An auto maker should come out with quick-disconnect tires. Just pop that thing off like a bike tire, slap on a new one and leave.

They charge a $450 tamper fee for boot replacement. But it's $200 to get it off. It makes more sense to cut it off, then go get a new plate. The nola tickets are plate attached, not vin attached.

They usually boot two tires just for this.

Take your license plate off your car, so they can't scan the plate.

I've been told that if a plate is not on the car, they can still read the VIN under the windshield glass and cross reference it your plate number. So I got a piece of this tape like stuff from a windshield guy I know and put that on the glass over the VIN. The only way to get the tape off is with a razor blade and it's still tough to get off.
