How to Remove a Parking Boot

I am a parking anarchist. After living in New Jersey and New York my whole life I have seen the abuses of parking authorities that, in the name of commerce, traffic flow and order, generate enormous revenue through the assessment of exorbitant fines for motorists who violate strict and often arbitrary rules. While parking is definitely a problem in New York City, the fines assessed for parking in the wrong place are so large that the city is actually just reaping an enormous profit while failing to provide more parking. In fact, we pedestrians and consumers in the city absorb the cost of parking as delivery and work trucks throughout the city are forced to park illegally when making house calls and pass their fines on to their customers as part of the cost of doing business in New York City. New York has a serious fleet of meter maids who patrol Manhattan's streets several times per day leaving the dreaded white ticket in a red envelope. New York Traffic Enforcement even has a fleet of tow-trucks who can be on the scene in minutes to tow off an errant parker to the city's tow-pound on the west side where a three hour wait and several hundred dollars are necessary to free your car.
