I live in a small town in northern Canada. I live in an apartment. A few weeks ago I complained because our parking lot was full and only a couple people here have cars. We have abandoned cars and a boat and trailers. They got a couple things moved but the abandoned car is still here. They thought if it is uninsured and not running they could tow it. No, town laws say they cannot tow without the owners permission. She's been gone 8 months but the car is still here.
I gave Factor a shot after you last promoted them. It sounds like a cool idea, but its pretty poorly executed. The meals are stupidly expensive, and they've very small. I had trouble not eating something else in addition to the factor meal. I wouldn't recommend Factor, you'd be better off getting some frozen dinners or something.

I once lived across the street from a college art professor who was trying to restore a Citron. The city finally made him move it. The next semester he had his students build a paper mache' replica of the car up on blocks in his front yard.
If this applies to any private property and there are no exceptions then every car dealership and auto shop is in violation. Absolutely ridiculous law and I can't imagine that it won't get overturned
Any car at a repair shop is included in this. Wait for the mayor to take his car to the shop and call the police to have it towed as it is "Inoperable."
@@rhoonah5849 Those don't count, the car lot has special insurance on all the registered cars, plus they can drive their cars with dealer plates. Obviously it's only at someone's house. IDK why people are making a big deal. Where I live they've been doing this for as long as I can remember, since I was a kid. I'm 48. Cape Coral, FL has all kinds of crazy laws. They'll measure your grass and crap.
@@mikeworkman3593 First, how do you know they don't count? Are you familiar with the actual town ordinance? Second, what's the big deal? It's theft on private property. That's the big deal. I can't believe anyone would be ok with this. Third, who cares if it has been done for years? Wrong is wrong. Lastly, I'm surprised you're ok with someone measuring your grass and then crapping on it ;)
We just had 2 properties taken without notice by the village boarded. In addition to the real property, they removed and destroyed all the personal property as well. The most significant was a 5th Wheel camper that was in the fenced in backyard that we were using for storage. It had probably 50k worth of my husband's work tools and lots of other valuable items. They didn't even tow it to storage, they smashed it, and hauled it away. We were not served that they were doing this until 2 days after it happened. Ugh. What a joke
The theory is this, if the person doesn’t have the money to pay for a tag then the person won’t have the money to pay an attorney to fight this unconstitutional seizure. It’s free money to the city
I had a neighbor repeatedly call code enforcement on my old truck sayin it didn’t run and violated city ordinance. It did run and was fully legal. That didn’t stop the town from trying to get rid of it though. That neighbor died alone and miserable.
Copy the paperwork you got over the years. Place a copy of that paperwork in front of his tombstone every anniversary.🤣🤣🤣🤣 A gentle wave goodbye to the old enemy.
I had a similar neighbor like that once. I had to use restraint to keep myself from really retaliating against them. Some people just are not happy unless they are miserable. I always say it’s easier to just get along with your neighbors. And it does not take much effort. But some people just cannot help themselves.
This would be an unconstitutional takings issue. She should report this to the state police as theft as they should know that they couldn't tow it from private property because of state law.
yes. my town has this. but if your car has expired tags, even if its a carport. then you just get the fine. no tow. that way, if you are on vacation, the worst that happens is the unpaid fine and then the city puts lien on your house and sells it for 120 bux in unpaid fines. (sold to the mayors cousin)
@@timrosencrans7955 except that it says that the vehicle has to have tags and that it covers locations in your property inaccessible to the public. Standard blight ordinances just say that the vehicle cannot be in a state of disrepair and that it has to be resolved within a reasonable time frame. The other issue is that the state has a law that prohibits them from towing a vehicle off private property. The only thing that the town could legally do is issue a fine or a correctional order. Towing the vehicle outside of the legal authority to do so is auto theft. The state police and the DA can order the city to deliver the vehicle back to the lady's property and that they have to eat the towing and storage fees due to the illegal tow. If this is common practice by the town, someone is bound to be arrested for criminal conspiracy.
This happened to my neighbor when I was living in Volusia County, Florida. Our other neighbor was a cop, saw his expired tags and had his car towed in the middle of the night. She said he was robbing the state of it’s money.
My town in a neighboring state also does the expired tags in the driveway thing. I had a decent looking car that I was in the process of fixing sitting in my driveway. I got a letter for expired tags. I figured I had an angry neighbor so I filed a foia request for any ordinance violations on my street and they said it was "too vague" so I found a list of every address on my street and resubmitted my request for every single address listed within a one year time span. It shook up the code enforcement guy so badly he came to my house to apologize.
That is how you deal with power crazed functionaries. Bury the lazy, entitled bums in paper-work. We all know they are allergic to anything with the word work related to it.
This happened to me several years ago here in California. It was a brand new car with a temp register tag in the window but it had fallen off the window. Cop towed it out of my driveway. Went to police department and blew them up and eventually got my car back without having to pay anything. It was 100% illegal for the police to do that to me. I ended up suing them as well and won a substantial settlement.
@@MrDLRu If you represent yourself (you have to in small claims court) it costs about $100 to file the suit. I think the limit you can win is 25k though.
In Vallejo, CA, Code Enforcement issues violations for expired tags EVEN if there is already an "In-Op" filing with the DMV. The fines are around $500.00 per violation per day past the deadline to correct. The same is true for having car parts on your property. An air filter? Wiper blades? Yep. My tenants' car was stolen and recovered with the ignition punched. The tags expired while it was stolen and it was due for smog. The ignition would crank with a screwdtiver but the fuel pump wouldn't turn on. The tenant diligently worked on it, replacing the fuel pump twice. The code violation notices were issued nonetheless. Its ridiculous. He couldn't very well drive it to the smog place, so he non-op'd it with DMV. The violations state that a non-op status with DMV is irrelevent as far as Code Enforcement is concerned.
It's just collateral damage. People who're self aware enough to realize they can move from their current town (and also have the means) are just a small proportion.
I will say. Living here. St Louis has had tons and tons of expired or stolen plates and tags on the street. The story here does take it slightly out of context. Removing a vehicle from private property is absolutely wrong. But with thousands of expired tags for a long time on the road in st Louis this push is just part of the city finally trying to crack down on it in the past few months, after many years of neglect. They pulled back on the swing so far on one direction that when it fell and they started enforcement it went back up the other side.
Using the same laws wouldn't the cities impound lot and the tow trucks lots be subject to the same fines and fees since they have unlicensed autos on their properties?
@@gierrah Part of the problem is charging $2,000 per year to register. The correct amount is something like $30 to $50 per year. If that means we need to let go a few thousand useless government workers, so be it.
@@johnpublic6582 She had a temporary tag. You get that when you buy a car. Steve read that the $2000 were for taxes. That's sales tax, not a registration fee. You have to pay sales tax before you're allowed to register.

Steve speaks the truth! I had a mouse infestation in a vehicle in my driveway. I went and registered the vehicle and got a new license plate. When I got back and waved the registration towards the car and showed the mice the license, the mice abandoned their homes and ran away. +1 would license again!

@@ChewyChicken589 - The success and prosperity of any state city county township or jurisdiction is inversely proportional to the amount of libtards running it. I'm not sorry LOL
My brother had this happen 20+ years ago. He got compensated for his loss. Court rulings in ohio have said license is ONLY for identifying a vehicle while operating on a public roadway and 4th amendment applies to car on private property. Many construction companies use unlicensed vehicles on job sites for on moving materials around. Same is true of many large industrial plants.
They trespassed on her real estate to hook the car to a tow truck. They violated her car ownership rights by taking it without cause. The purpose of automobile licenses and licensing fees were to maintain roadways on which the vehicle might move. If her vehicle is not using these roadways, then she owes no licensing fees. One man's eyesore is another man's masterpiece... Jackson Pollock made that point.
Not being on the roadways is why tractors and riding lawn mowers don't have to be licensed or fully operable for road travel. I wonder if the law is broad enough to allow them to be seized from private property too.
This case did make me angry, but technically if the city had a warrant they did not trespass. Where the accountability breaks down is that a judge can issue as many egregious warrants as he or she fancies...
@@davidtauriainen9116 it's funny you think driver's licenses, registrations, and insurance is required for cars though. It's not. The constitution protects our right to travel. No license no registration and no insurance. Those things are only required if you're doing commerce, not traveling. Read up. We've all been eating the propaganda for too long.
Missouri has ruled against the cities every time this happens. We had a similar issue on my Grandparents farm in Kansas City area. They would put old cars on the from half of the farm along the road for decoration. City came out and towed the cars one afternoon and Grandpa got a lawyer. I not sure what all went down, but he had the cars back in about a month, and he had money to buy a new truck.
Imagine if every mechanic in a city knows what these a hols are doing then they start asking for the a hols cars to be impounded every time they go to the mechanic, that would be even funnier.
@@Catkinson3580 Nope, I didn't forget anything - you on the other hand, don't understand what qualified immunity does. Qualified immunity is a court rule in civil court that allows the defendant to have the judge dismiss a civil lawsuit before the lawsuit gets to the point it's super expensive. Qualified immunity ONLY applies to civil lawsuits in civil court. Grand theft auto, on the other hand, is a felony charge in criminal court. Qualified immunity doesn't protect against criminal charges, and any defendant asking for a dismissal of charges due to qualified immunity will be looked at as if they were particularly stupid by the judge, possibly even laughed at. And then their motion for dismissal would be rejected.
I had a car taken once where the cop wouldn’t let me remove a disabled car with my own towing service (AAA), it HAD to be the company they called. When I went to get the car, the company said I needed a release order from the police. BTW, the towing company office had a calendar hanging on the wall from that police department. The car was eventually auctioned and I guarantee those cops got a cut. They prey on people who don’t have the means to get their property back.
Luckily every time I've had that happen I told the police I already have a truck coming and they leave me be. If they insisted it had to be removed, I wouldn't let them pick the towing provider.
Happens all the time. One of my friend owns a tow truck and he's gotten in fights with the police multiple times because they won't let him tow the vehicle for customer, because city has a contract with another tow company. It's ridiculous.
@@RhizometricReality LOL, towing a crappy car that's a blight on a nice neighborhood isn't violence. Keep your crap in the garage like a normal person.

I live in Portage County, Ohio in a small rural town. Our city code controls your yard. No litter, vehicles that run, vehicles tagged, grass cut. I got a harassing notice about my grass from the city dept. My husband had cut the grass over the weekend and couldnt grass whip due to rain coming. It was not long and we mowed every week. This was obvious harassment because we did not interact with our neighbors. Small towns are power centers. The bad kind.
Hey Steve! Thx for the post. I live in St. Louis city. Calverton Park is in a part of STL where there are many small villages that use these types of scams to embezzle their citizens and people that are passing through. The tax base in these villages is so small that they can not operate proper public services and resort to this type of extortion under the guise of "public safety" to raise money for the cities empty coffers. It is also very likely that these "government officials" are also siphoning off funds for personal enrichment, which happens regularly in these fiefdoms.
So they're stealing your private property....that is ON YOUR PRIVATE PROPERTY?!?!? Sounds unconstitutional. I happen to have my very first car (1967 Cougar) in our garage. Have owned over 40 years. It's not running at this time. Watch my fury if it got impounded!!!!
Civilians can't file felony charges, they can only file a complaint. Only the district attorney office can file criminal cases. If the DA doesn't agree with the complaint, no charges are filed. She can sue in civil court, but without the criminal conviction from the DA there's no evidence of the crime. The legal system is heavily stacked against you when the government abuses you.
Utah has a rule that cars must all be current on license, insurance, etc, even on private property. I do NOT live in UT and the code officer was using those codes. The judge was not happy when I explained what she was doing. Was even less amused when I made that information public and started talks of class action lawsuit. She was caught entering peoples homes many times. After video of this was presented she 'retired' from being a police officer.
Oh, one more thing: I am an insurance adjuster currently, who did automotive paint/ auto body repair for over 20 years. WTF happens when someone is involved in an accident and the vehicle is towed to the customer house?? I JUST finished up writing an estimate on a vehicle in someone's driveway!!! This will get ugly if the town does not act quickly. I will leave it at that lol. Keep us updated on this if possible. Have a good one man
Hopefully you and most insurance adjusters are better than the adjuster that I dealt with most recently. Back in December right before Christmas in my 2011 Camry got hit in the rear relatively low speed but I was completely stopped and they hit my vehicle hard enough that the force of the impact sheared the bolts for the right rear brake caliper although that was not readily Apparent at the time it didn't start to be apparent until several days after the wreck which itself the body damage was minor enough I was waiting till after Christmas to tackle because the rest of the body was just cosmetic around the bumper. But it would start grinding into the wheel in reverse until it would no longer move on that wheel. The adjuster for the insurance company tried to claim that there's no way that that caused the damage. Front-wheel-drive unibody car impact all absorbed on the rear as best I can understand it
What happens to any vehicle that goes to a local repair shop? Does the city immediately seize it because it’s inoperable on the lift? Or parked in the lot waiting to be repaired?
Lexington, KY will do the same thing. I've had cars that were just sitting(tagged and operable but just sitting for a while) that were threatened to be towed by the city on multiple occasions. I'm a beekeeper and I only use my pickup when I go check my bees, and sometimes that's months. I discovered that some of this comes from "property management" groups because one bought a house 2 doors up and someone called about my truck sitting on the street in front of my house for over a week. When an officer showed up to ticket it, I protested and one of the guys from the management group was there and heard me explain how i use the truck. Suddenly he was super apologetic and said he thought it was junked or something(right, with insurance, plates, etc. current). I told the cop if he were going to try to ticket me that I expected him to do the same to the other cars on the street that do the exact same. He looked at me and was like "which ones?", which then got him a full list and I said I'd be happy to call in the complaints if I had to. Suddenly it was all about "de-escalation" and nobody wanted to write me or anyone a ticket or even a warning. He'd have been there all damn day AND I'd have called every week to waste their time and money on ever considering messing with me again. I'll happily take everyone down with me if they wanna play that game. These days I drive through expensive neighborhoods and look for code violations so I can keep code enforcement busy with people who will lose their minds over being cited.
Norfolk Virginia has had that law too. The city inspectors couldn't keep up with the number of inoperable, uninspected or unlicened vehicles so they started saying police offices could tag vehicles parked on private property for tow if not moved or made operable and legally tagged. The only exception to the rule is keeping the vehicle in a garage or other enclosed building where it could not be seen. The city also had a rule no cars could be parked on the grass of private property.
So, if somebody follows the mayor, and he is having a tire replaced, it can be towed, because it is inoperable. What about repair shops? This is beyond crazy. The mayor has hired an attorney that agrees with him, not the law. I hope the city is sued for multiple civil rights violations (they will definitely lose)
I'd be putting pebbles under a slightly tightened valve stem cap to release the air from his tires everywhere he went. I've done it plenty of times and when the cops get there they laugh because you didn't damage anything and they can't charge you with anything.
My dad was harassed endlessly because he had too many cars on his property. He was an auto mechanic and had cars in line to be fixed or used for parts. They finally left him alone but he fought long and hard to get them to bug off. This was in Utah, but these stupid money grabbers are everywhere
If you're a bloodsucking bureaucrat that harasses mechanics you should be put on a blacklist where every mechanic they take their car for maintenance will just unplug the fuel pump and say "Sorry, declined repairs."
If I were his neighbor, I wouldn't want to live next to what sounds like effectively an informal junkyard. Maybe he had an incredibly well organized and appealing "line of busted cars", but that seems a little unreasonable on his part.
Depends on whether it was in an area zoned for business or residence. It is a little unreasonable to have dozens of cars parked around a neighborhood street for your business. But if it was ALL actually on his property (zoned for business), and not some line going down the street, then no reason to harass him over it.
This happened to me several years ago. I had a 1963 impalla in my driveway. It was tagged and insured. The sticker on the tag was old but i had paid for the new registration and i had the new sticker in my house. The city towed it even though the registration was current and insurance was current. I had to pay a fee to the towing company. I went into the lot, put the new sticker on it, and drove it home. I was so angry. Really made me consider doing something illegal.
Should have put the sticker on the tag while in impound, taken a pic, and claimed it was there the whole time. Make them prove otherwise. Play their little game in accordance with their own unethical rules. (There are no rules)
If a car is inoperable at a mechanics shop or lot, then legally they can tow that car because there is no exemptions. Then they also can search salvage yards, garages, parking lots, storage units in order to find unlicensed cars and tow them because there is no exemptions.
These ignorant, abusive bureaucrats! In these cases, the tow company is typically a private company, and, inevitably, the owner of the tow company/tow yard, who's getting all of these fees, is connected to the mayor (relative, campaigne doner, crony, etc.), and, after 30 days, they get to keep the car and/or the remaining funds after it is auctioned off. - Crooks!! - Replace that mayor!!!
But bureaucracy can also be abused. So if the tow yard currently towing these cars is inside Calverton Park, then create a tow company outside the town boundaries. Then get warrants to tow all the unregistered cars from the Mayor's mates yard and charge them 200% of their storage fee because they were in possession and thus liable for the storage fee. If they agree to waive tow and storage fees against the vehicle owner, think about waiving the charges against the Mayor's mates yard. Needs someone with land outside the town, a sense of humor and a tow truck. And probably some decent legal advice that can hopefully figure out a way to get around the abatement tax.
I had a junker towed in Seattle - which would have cost me ~$2k. To avoid this fee, I reported that it had been sold to the tow yard, and informed the tow yard of their new ownership to be in conformance with WA state law. They would then owe any fees due in connection with the car. They threatened, etc., but they ended up owning my old junker without my having to pay any money.
@@MrDLRu Pretty sure his notification to relinquish/surrender ownership to company is sufficient legal xfer of interest. Just spit ballin' here... A tow/storage yard does not need a bill of sale to gain full ownership/title for a vehicle they have "stolen", eh? (they gain ownership thru "Lien(s)") Note: Called it "stolen" because it's the term that MANY tow companies use. 🤨(source: Lizzard Lick Towing and other similar Reality TV shows, plus an aquaintance that ran a tow company)
This type of thing is very common in a community that has an HOA. They are very strict about unregistered vehicles in the HOA where I live. Serious ago we had a nasty HOA president. She actually came to our door and told us that we had two weeks left that she was watching all of the stickers on everybody's Vehicles parked in the driveways. I was actually shocked when she came and rang the doorbell and gave us a verbal warning about our registration for the car and that it would be towed the day after the registration expires if we did not register it. Meanwhile at the time my wife was very sick and in and out of the hospital so we just did not have the time to get to motor vehicle at that particular time. So I was forced to make time to go re-register the vehicle before the deadline. But because I am old school Italian and I do have a tendency of getting revenge on people let's try to do me wrong. So this nasty Karen president of our HOA got just what you deserved. It just so happens that somebody that did not like her took a gallon of furniture stripper the strong type that is in jelly form and poured it all over her SUV in the middle of the night. Revenge is a dish best served cold.
What most don't know that "CERTIFICATE OF TITLE" is the lesser of the two. If you have either the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement/Certificate of Origin) or Clean/Clear Bill of Sale without the VIN being in the Corporatocracy data base (DMV), then you have full and complete control of the automobile. FTR: car is short for "carriage"; Motor Vehicle is a contract term specifically used by DMV for the top control of all autos regardless of variety. There is no such item any longer as a "Motor Vehicle", yet Carriages still do exist. Unless you have Land Patent for your house/soil, you "real property" is not Private. If the item (land/auto) is registered, thus conveying control over that item to another entity, then it is controlled on the higher title by that entity. Anything that's Registered gives control over. The Corporatocracy is Babylon.
I don’t believe there was a mention of ongoing litigation or any decision by a judge mentioned in this video. This ordinance hasn’t been challenged legally from the looks of it. So uh… while I agree, it’s not really relevant to this situation yet. Edit: I did forget about the judge signing the search warrant, but is that not simply a result of the bad law? I don’t believe the search warrant is where a judge can’t question the constitutionality of a law.
@@diablominero ah that part, yea I forgot about that as the video went on. But also, there’s not really that much a judge can do, is there? It’s a valid warrant subject to a law on the books. The law shouldn’t exist, but it does. The search warrant process isn’t where a laws validity is challenged. In the case of the warrant, I don’t think the judge is the one out of control. It’s the people who passed the law and the council members defending it.
@@bradenculver7457 by this same logic, you would be justifying not just this, but all abuses of power so long as its a "law", especially the many, many horrible crimes committed by the government...such as the genocide that the US government signed off on, that killed 9-10 million native americans, by killing off the bison and poaching EVERY other animal they hunted, as well as publically castrating the men to prevent them from being able to have kids again, so they could wipe out the native americans and their culture. _but it doesnt matter because it was legal right?_ get the fuck outta here with that shit.anything can be justified in law, even straight up genocide, rape, and murder.
My brother's township told him he needed to get rid of his vehicles that were hard to see from outside the property. Said they were coming to fine him. He told them he will register every one and park them in the front yard. Never heard back from them. Been like 15 years since.
this was the Only way we got the code off of us after he harassed us for 2 years and then tried to lie about us to the town board. literally we even registered Campers too.( musclecars,projects,racecars,trucks,and campers ) it didnt hurt that we caught him on tape breaking into our shop either,while it pissed us off,it was also a big asset that we never had to deploy. our New code guy,is just the nicest guy.........not a power tripping troublemaker.
I was told my antique truck was “abandoned”, sitting on my driveway. I had to sell it. The township only pursues a new ordinance if someone complains. There are “abandoned” cars all over the township. I was saving up to get motor and transmission work.
how is it abandoned if its personal property sitting on the owners private property? abandoned would imply it was left on public property or someones elses private property
I had something similar happen in Missouri near KC, they enforce the same code as STL, the IPMC or international property maintenance code is adopted by some localities as their code basis for these actions. The specific section is 302.8, a section of code about building exteriors. I had a vehicle out of my garage to sand, actively at the time, and another older licensed operable vehicle. Without asking me or speaking with me the official wrote up the letter printed it and then walked up to me to hand it to me. Even after showing him the vehicle is parked in the garage and that the second vehicle ran and was licensed he refused to edit the complaint. His argument was that I could have the vehicle outside for any amount of time “because he doesn’t have time to be going around to see how long vehicles are outside”. The code allows minor repairs, it disallows major repairs which Missouri defines as removing the body from the frame for work on either and removal of engines from commercial trucks. I threw him off my property, researched the laws and wrote them a letter for appeal. It centered on the interpretation of the code as defined by the code, to promote health, safety, property protection and general welfare. It goes on to say that sections without definitions will be interpreted using commonly accepted meanings in line with the purpose of the code. Missouri law allows me to build a car from scratch, take it to be inspected, and get a new title/registration for the vehicle. If that is true, then the requirement to never have an unlicensed vehicle “parked, kept, or stored” outside (the limit of the code) prevents me from building a car in my garage and then loading it on a trailer, because I couldn’t possibly do that if I couldn’t ever have it outside. Oddly enough, this specific jurisdiction allows recreational OHV to be kept outside for 7 days. So in theory I could buy a CAN AM OHV of the same size as my truck, have it unlicensed outside for 7 day increments, performing the exact same work. My biggest issue with the whole process is that the code was designed to keep neighborhoods safe, major repairs in a yard could cause someone to get hurt. Sanding bondo for an hour does not have any inherent risks. So in my appeal I asked the city to append the code so that there is a reasonable amount of time that a project vehicle can be outside so as to avoid an undue burden that prevents me from building a registering a custom vehicle in accordance with Missouri law. In the meantime, I’ve been recording myself moving the car in and out of the garage each morning and driving the licensed and insured FJ.
Qualified immunity. It's not just for cops, it's for all government officials. They just need to come up with schemes that are so brazen or so insane that they have never been adjudicated. Then they never will be.
@@MrDLRuExactly. When you sue them they don't have to spend a dime. Literally you pay for it with your taxes. But you have to find your own legal help. And given the immunity that they have from prosecution it's a no-lose situation for them. They either win or they will not be punished because of immunity
I figure that they dont attack people who have ability to sue or hire lawyers. Most normal people are just trying to keep their job and pay the bills week to week
The same thing can happen in an HOA neighborhood. I had an a-hole resident in my subdivision report my licensed, registered and insured vehicle that was under a store bought fitted car cover in my driveway saying it was an inoperable vehicle under a tarp. Not to mention it's my daily driver when I'm home. (Commercial Truck Driver) Some people just have to be a Karen.
Great job with the ad for Factor, I actually watched and am interested. I've been skipping videos that try to slip in ads when I already pay for premium in order to not have to see ads. In this case, the ad was at the end, it was well stated ahead of time that it would be there with no shenanigans. Very professional and Factor looks fantastic. Nice job Mr. Steve Lehto.
A former mayor of my little Idaho town tried to do something similar to this several years ago. When the cooler heads of reasonable staff members told her what would result if she tried to pull a stunt like this, she backed down. The city council attempted to pass some broad "junk" ordinances a few times, but myself and others attended meetings and spoke out about how ridiculous the rules were as proposed, and they backed down, too. As it stands, the only time things like this are enforced now are when a proper complaint is filed, and contact is made with the landowner and they are given time to mitigate the situation. As it should be.
@@TheInsultInvestor That is all well and good until someone opens a puppy mill next door. Or maybe an all night auto repair shop. I build cars and I love dogs, but that shit don't fly.
Imagine if all the mechanics get together and start calling a tow on a hols cars that made this law every time they need service, it would be overturned pretty quick.
Exactly the same corruption starting at the top with the Federal government all the way to state and locally. It depends on their agenda and not constitutional rights.
I owned a 1972 Lodestar 1600, it was fully licensed, operable, and insured. It was also ugly, having been hand painted black over an awful puke green. City code enforcement officer rolls up one day and simply says the city code says this vehicle is junk. I explained that the truck was licensed and insured but she said, doesn't matter, city code says it is junk. no matter what I said about the trucks usefulness or legality her answer was always, doesn't matter, city code says it is junk. And it must be disposed of, or the city will have it towed. Not having funds for a legal battle, and not wanting to be stuck for towing and storage fees, I sold to a scrap yard. Still makes me angry, it was a perfectly usable truck for hauling trash and building supplies.
The town where I previously lived defined abandon as a vehicle that had not been driven for 8 consecutive days. My vehicle got ticketed because the weather was nice and I was riding my motorcycle every day to work. I told them that was an unreasonable requirement and they had no right to tell me which vehicle I had to drive to work. They never followed through on it and nothing became of it.
@@reginaschellhaas1395I have moved friends’ cars from one spot to the other every few days when they have gone on trips. In my city, a car can’t be parked in the street for more than 72 hours without being driven at least 1/10 of a mile. You can be ticketed or towed.
@@mkuti-childress3625 I live out in the boonies. But I may remember some such from in-law relatives who lived in Queens or Brooklyn areas of NYC. I seem to remember that cars had to be moved from one side of the street to the other? Anyway, your friends are lucky to have you! Seems bizarre to me that ppl can't go on vacation or make an emergency trip without relying on a trusted friend. Sadly, not everyone has such a person in their lives.
crazy, crazy rules. Can't understand how a town comes up with such a weird definition and why would they care wether a car was driven (around the block or elsewhere) or not. Tsssss. What if you were ill? Or on vacation?
When you said Saint Louis County I understood what was going on immediately The county is filled with tiny little cities that have been having trouble meeting their budgets. Their people are poor. Property taxes can't cut it. They';ve been using the cops as a way to generate revenue. Calverton expects (probably rightly) that whomever they do this too won't have the resources to fight it in court. This is just more of that it seems
This is exactly the case. Calverton Park was always this way. When I lived there, they kept New Florissant just south of 270 night & day, and would ticket anyone 2-3 mph over the limit. A "police department" for a village of less than 500 homes is ridiculous, and they do nothing but generate revenue to maintain their own existence. St. Louis County PD would take over that duty for far less cost.
Yep. "Calverton Park draws 66 percent of its revenue from fines and fees on the local population, which represents the highest percentage of any municipality in St. Louis County."
No, thereis nothing legal about seizure from private property for expired tags. Registration is thru the state and only qualifies the vehicle for operation on public roads. This law is unconstitutional, period. Any official or employee involved in this scheme needs to be taken out.
My late brother-in-law had a number of tickets he got while he worked which he failed to pay, and he lost his Driver's License. This was in NY years ago. They pulled the registration on their pickup truck, so my sister had no way to get to work, do food shopping, get to appointments, etc. They had no way to pay for the tickets, and all of the fines that kept adding on, so for the next 17 years my sister didn't have a car! My brother-in-law passed away during that time, making it even harder for my sister to get any car. These idiots in MO who are taking working peoples' cars and charging them all of the extra fees they'll have to pay are disgraceful! They should all be fired, including that judge. Do any of them have any compassion, or common sense? Stop being so money hungry, and HELP your citizens for a change!
Back in the late 1980's my dad had a 1966 Mustang in his driveway under a car cover. It was licensed and insured, but was not running for a while. He got a notice from the DMV that his tags were expired. That would have meant someone came on the driveway and lifted the car cover to check his plates. As he was not currently driving the car he didn't put on the new stickers. California has always been a "great state to live in". Not to be weird, Steve, but your videos are just long enough to enjoy in the morning during my shower. Beats the morning news. Thanks.
Steve. Question. When the car gets towed to a privately owned tow lot. wouldn't the tow company have to register or have the vehicles towed off the lot?
Even if you spend your entire life working on a car because it brings you calm...and never bring it to working condition...I don't think that should be made an infraction! Too many laws!
One thing i always wondered is why do we discourage blue collar activity in society? This topic of working on one’s car seems to fall under that category.
Whenever you feel the urge to abuse your position of power to ruin people's lives, remember the "Killdozer". When you push people into desperate situations, expect the most desperate reaction. And it doesn't matter if you're right or wrong when the suicidaly desperate person is driving a bulldozer through your living room, over your car and then into your office...
they had a search warrent, so its all goood, not sure if the judge should be charged with theft sence he sined an extremly ovious illegle search warrent tho.
The tow truck drives are backed up by cops. So yes cops with absolute power can take anything they want. Just wait civil asset forfeiture will include a person.
The town I live in has been doing the same thing (Lamberton Minnesota) - apparently where I live it's "Do unto others as they do to you" - because from what I hear, people have been stealing stuff from the mayors yard.
I used to live in La Mirada, Ca. and there was a teenage boy that saw my 1974 CORVETTE in my garage, it was running but it needed electrical so I had not driven it for nearly 3 yrs. This boy asked if it was for sell, I said no, he asked again about a month later, again I said no, a few days later his dad knocked on my door and asked about the car, I told him not for sale, mean while a neighbor down the street had 2 none running 1963 buicks sitting on jackstands in his driveway, the city law says VISIBLE non running vehicals are subject to be towed, well one morning 4 car loads of L.A. County Sheriff Deputies and a tow truck showed up to take my car. They ordered me to open my garage because they were taking my car because it was visible with overdue tags, of course I refused to open the garage, I then put a lock on the latch right in front of them, they threatened to break the lock, I walked down the street took a picture of my neighbors car then came back and said " I dare you to break into my garage". They left , nothing else said. I must say, I am a black man, this city at that time was 90% white plus others and only about 3% black. Well that afternnon I decided to go to city hall to file a complaint and lo and behold the boy's dad was in city hall, he saw me and turned is face away quickly and disapeared into a door with no marking, I went behind him to try to see where he went but the door was locked, I had no way of figuring out who he was, so I put in a complaint about the incident. 3 days later, again 4 carloads of deputies, one knocked on the door, of course he was the only black out the other 15, when I went out to talk with them my neighbors were out there and they were furious because they had seen the first incident ,but there was the station commander, he had come to apologize and he told me a city official had given them incorrect information about me and my car, he even had an already completed form that had all the details and report of the incident and he offered to deliver it himself if I wanted to sign it, but I said no, so he gave copies which he signed right there, he apologized again to and to my neighbors, I discovered who the man was that initiated everything, he was a city councilman that lived 2 blocks away. I was not going to get involved with politics, but I wrote him an email to let him know to never use his position for extortion again. 🇺🇸 AMERICA IS GREAT
It's the leftist mentality that has taken over nearly every single city in this country that's at fault. These people seek power for power's sake and become absolutely corrupt. It doesn't matter what state you're in, but if you live in a rural area you're less likely to face such evil, and in a city more likely. This country used to be better, but evil has always been around and it's pervasive and quite capable of infecting the minds of our youth. Soon, the only solution that will allow us to escape this will be to find another planet.
You are one fortunate guy. I was being systematically harassed by the town code 'officer', and when I countered each of his accusations, he did not know how to proceed, so went over to talk to the local COUNCILMAN, who was seated in his car next door [to observe] and ask advice. Said councilman went very pale when he saw me walk up behind the 'officer' [on a public street mind you] and stammered out something about jogging in the park and stopped to say hello..... yeah, in your suit. He suddenly had to be somewhere else. Bastard had COMPLIMENTED me on my [fully legal] antique truck, as I was "preserving town history"... of course that was a year prior when he was running for office.
Oh yes I remember those days. Had the same problem with Danville Illinois when I had a automotive shop there many years ago. The city towing customer cars out of my locked lot got so bad I had to close the business and start over out of state.
Los Angeles has done something similar, towing cars out of driveways for expired tags, parking tickets, etc. They probably still do it. Happened to friends of mine who were going to gift me and my (then) better half their old car. That was around 33 years ago. The only real crime in this country is not having (enough) money.
In the Netherlands a car needs to be licensed if its parked on the public road or adjacent to it. So if unlicensed in the drive waynyou will be fined and eventually towed. If you move it of the driveway behind the home or into a garage you're fine. That of course leaves a grey area, where are you no longervadjacent to a public road. Inoperable vehicles will eventually lose the license , but until they do you are fine parking them.
I have bought many vehicles that were basically junk, fix them to give them to people that could not afford a vehicle. I did/do try to keep them from public view i.e., in my garage, or behind a fence. When I purchase these vehicles, I don't know who the person maybe that I am going to give it to. Once I fix it, get it licensed, insured, I drive it for several months to see if there are any other items that need to be repaired. Often new tires are needed, broken lights need to be fixed or replaced... I really do not like these laws that prevent a person from helping other people. I agree that there generally someone calls the cops and complains. I seek to get to know my neighbors (have a root beer float party in my front yard once a year with a handwritten initiation given to everyone on the block) to allow them to know that they can talk to me, tell me if I am being a jerk. They do not have to call the cops; they can just tell me. Civility seems to be absent in our society. I do not buy a house in an HOA because I do not want all the “extra rules. If somebody wants these “extra” rules, then buy in the HOA or gated community or move to a city that makes it crime to do any of these things. PS I once lived in the beautiful city of Pasadena, to determine where Los Angles is, and some other city is very hard to determine unless you live there. I did first live in San Marino (A city, within a city, within a city) where you had to have a special sticker on your car otherwise you would get pulled over and asked what you were doing in their city.
I heard that if you put the house address number on the vehicle, has to be somewhat permanent..like paint stick on windshield, it's a part of the property....Heard this back in mid 90's from someone that an attorney told her this. Not sure what the legal argument actually is if it came to it.
@@Writ3r_Dude Sure, cops ignore Constitutional law, laws all the time...Look at all the vagrancy laws still on the books and they arrest many for doing just that.
This very same thing happened to my son in Grand Prairie, Texas. The city sold the car without providing any compensation. The car was in the driveway being repaired.
So Steve...😎...you dig into this and low and behold, the mayor and his brother-in-law "owns the towing company along with the impound storage lot"...what a racket...
Something like that happened here. It's under Federal investigation because they eventually impounded the daughter of the state's attourney general. Look up the racket Brookside, Alabama police were running!
I lived in Mesquite, Texas for over 33 years & they had a city ordinances for everything one could think of inc. untagged cars even if they were covered & in a driveway. I was so glad to be able to move from there in 2002. Here it's only a problem if the grass is more than 6 inches tall.
do they write you $100 ticket/dandelion too? thats still ridiculous, sounds like the they got little dicks. who will save us from the 7" tall grass? call the government!
This law is not limited to dissassembled cars in a pole barn, or un-licenced antiques in museums, it also applies to vehicles in repair shops, if it is in-operable, such as in the process of an oil change while in the state of having its oil drained, it can be impounded.
It's sounds like they're targeting lower income households. That's probably why the mayor pointed out that he's trying to keep people in the city. When he says people, he means the wealthy population. He might be trying to remove and expell less desirables in order to keep and make room for higher class residents.
Davenport Iowa started doing this about 35 years ago. And also stating EPA hazards because they contain hazardous materials. i.e. engine oil, gasoline, antifreeze and other fluids.
City was after my neighbors project car. Every time he turned around they were griping about something. In the mean time stepson had a van with a blown engine sitting in my driveway for three years. Tags and inspection sticker were expired but he kept it clean. He sold it and the new owner towed it off. Every time he got a letter from the city about his car we took a picture of the letter with the expired inspection sticker and plates on the van clearly visible. I went to court with him and took the pictures as evidence. We got a new code enforcement officer a few days later.
This happened in my town in Virginia. The owner had a stroke and had been sent to a rehab center across the state months earlier. Church members knew and told the city. Officials did not care. I was able to buy the 2nd inoperable vehicle from the daughter, who had a POA, to give the sick lady some money. It was a real mess.
In St. Louis county and Jefferson county, the exemption is as follows. You must cover a project car with a tarp. This IS NOT listed as an exemption but the judge will let you know this little detail.
the local ordinances usually exempt repair facilities, junkyards, etc. at least my local ordinance does my project car runs, drives and is legally tagged, but looks so rough that I could see a vindictive person reporting it. I have good neighbors, but a guy one street over had to remove on of his Land Cruisers (only one of which runs) after the developer of new infill townhouses were approved to be built next door 😡 no one bothered us before… meanwhile a ~2016 Nissan Versa with a blown transmission sits in the same street (IN the street, not a yard), but it looks new and they wash it so the developer turns a blind eye
I had my car in the driveway for 2 weeks while the engine was rebuilt. We kept the front yard next and tidy and the mess was in the garage. Isn't that my right as an American to fix my own car? (Actually the neighbor did it in exchange for cleaning, painting, and beer )
Had to laugh at this one. I'm from Northern California and I can say that snakes (?), mice, chipmunks or squirrels don't give a damn whether a car is registered or not. I really feel sorry for this woman. I truly hope she gets justice.
Yeah I agree. I live in California, and at one time lived on a ten acre spot where mice, and snakes and other things would routinely camp under the hood of a running and usable car. Those people are just greedy nazi's.
Can I get video of every cat dog, squirrel, mouth, snake, and any other varmint in the community going down the street checking the license plate on all vehicles to make sure it’s safe for them to make a home in… LMFAO
I have heard of this happening systematically in the St. Louis area for many years. They do this only in poor areas, they wouldn't dare enforce this in rich areas because that would be like enforcing this in the million dollar home neighborhoods in Warren Michigan, it would never fly.
The Wealthy areas should help the other neighborhoods. I lived in Benton park. I would not call it wealthy. I thank Archangel Michael that my car wasn’t towed.
Wealthy people are generally able to license, insure, and pay taxes on their cars. It's actually a very common ordinance in rich and poor towns, at least in Missouri.
@@RMSTitanicWSL Missouri seems to do things to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods. I experienced Missouri’s racism directly. And i am not black. I love Missouri, unfortunately racism is alive there.
My truck has expired plates which I will get new tags in Aug and the ones from last year are sitting in my letter area from late year. Since we do not use the truck off our land there is no reason to put the tags on the truck. So expired yet still valid. If anyone comes on my land with out a warrant they may not get off?
Chicago suburb sent inspectors into people's private property including garages that happen to have the door open to check for City stickers. If project car or any vehicle on property did not have a sticker, a large fine was assessed. Never mind the trespassing issue.
Mr. Steve Lehto Let me start by saying how much I appreciate & enjoy ur videos. Your dissection of the Law is so educational & fascinating! I also laughed so hard at the mouse & snake theory! Thank you so much!!!! 💜💫
This happened decades ago around the Bay Area in California. Vehicles were forcibly removed from private property, even vehicles stored in warehouses The vehicles all were taken to be crushed. Strangely, many of those involved in the process, or friends of those in the process, ended owning collectible cars.
Sure would be a shame if something untoward happened to these corrupt city officials and the oathbreakers that are complicit in their violation of the rights of their constituents.
My city does the same thing. My handicap van with my wheelchair ramp was licensed, insured, and would have passed an inspection. But the transmission went bad and was taking too long for me to get help with installing a used transmission. This conversion van was in my back yard, well away from the street. There were no snakes, rats, or extra terrestrials living in it. I know, because I wouldn't allow it. So I was forced to junk my beloved diesel handicap conversion van for a couple of hundred dollars before being forced to pay the city hundreds of dollars for them to steal and tow it away at my expense. But they didn't mind charging me property taxes on it's supposed perfect condition blue book value every year as if it had a perfect transmission. Something is definitely wrong with these rules or Ordinances.

The biggest problem is the "immediate towing." Some places have a "24 Hour Tow Notice." Flat tire, out of gas, other problem, you have reasonable time to repair or move the vehicle.

Fun story this happened to me. I wasn't driving my cadillac because it needed a new exhaust. Wake up and it was gone from my assigned parking spot. The complex apparently had it towed claiming it was broken down. It ran fine. I walked 4 miles to the impound lot and proceeded to start a fight for stealing my car. Since the office people didn't open the gate I went into the shop and told the crew I was gonna leave with my car or there was going to be blood spilled. The office called the cops, the sheriff rolled up. I told him what happened that they stole my car and are extorting me for money. I told him they better open the gate or I would get my car and plow through it. They refused unless I paid I told them I'm not paying and they would be buying a new gate. I walked down the lot to my car and pulled up in front of the gate with my exhaust dragging - office and shop crew standing there with the cop in disbelief I stopped got out and told the cop, now I'm opening my trunk and getting a very large knife. I'm crawling under this car to cut off my dragging exhaust pipe (they damaged it further during the tow) AND you aren't gonna do a damn thing about it. So I did just that. I cut and grabbed the hot exhaust pipe and threw it in the trunk hands steaming angry as fu**. When I got back in the driver seat the sheriff told them they better open the gate because I was dead serious. They opened it, I left, it never happened again.
Should have then found out who in the complex had your car towed and then donated the remains of the exhaust system inserted up their mule. Not the right word but related to the A word.
@@katjoe1974 I had a similar story happen when I was much younger, turned out that the tow truck business in question was running a scam, and not only did I get my car back for nothing, the owner and the tow truck driver were arrested and charged.

No, town laws say they cannot tow without the owners permission. She's been gone 8 months but the car is still here.

Sounds like something an HOA would do. A city gov’t with an HOA mentality… hmm, interesting.
If this applies to any private property and there are no exceptions then every car dealership and auto shop is in violation. Absolutely ridiculous law and I can't imagine that it won't get overturned
But not before they manage to steel hundreds of thousands of $$ worth of cars.
Nah just residential i think
what about the tow yard that they tow the car to? wouldnt that be subject to this bullshit to?
This is an extortion racket and they aren't even trying to hide it. Clear as day this government is stealing money from it's citizens.
Isn't Sarah Huckabee Sanders the governor there? Expect cray cray and bonkers laws and rulings!
This happened in my town once. The code enforcement officer ended up in the hospital. They can't find a new one to harass people.
He got assaulted by an invisible band of thugs and no one saw the incident?
That is the best way to stop the thieving thugs.
He ran into a brick wall, multiple times then?

Any car at a repair shop is included in this. Wait for the mayor to take his car to the shop and call the police to have it towed as it is "Inoperable."

We just had 2 properties taken without notice by the village boarded. In addition to the real property, they removed and destroyed all the personal property as well. The most significant was a 5th Wheel camper that was in the fenced in backyard that we were using for storage. It had probably 50k worth of my husband's work tools and lots of other valuable items. They didn't even tow it to storage, they smashed it, and hauled it away. We were not served that they were doing this until 2 days after it happened. Ugh. What a joke
There HAS to be a hungry lawyer who would take this on with no $ up front. damn
Fourth amendment violation
Sooo,what a joke is all what you said? Thats it?
There's more to this story than you are telling us.
Didn't happen
The theory is this, if the person doesn’t have the money to pay for a tag then the person won’t have the money to pay an attorney to fight this unconstitutional seizure. It’s free money to the city
I agree this absolutely makes it ok
Just wait for the city to realize they can pull up to the local tire discounters and take every car on the lot.
I had a neighbor repeatedly call code enforcement on my old truck sayin it didn’t run and violated city ordinance. It did run and was fully legal. That didn’t stop the town from trying to get rid of it though.
That neighbor died alone and miserable.
GOOD RIDDANCE
Copy the paperwork you got over the years. Place a copy of that paperwork in front of his tombstone every anniversary.🤣🤣🤣🤣 A gentle wave goodbye to the old enemy.
I had a similar neighbor like that once. I had to use restraint to keep myself from really retaliating against them. Some people just are not happy unless they are miserable. I always say it’s easier to just get along with your neighbors. And it does not take much effort. But some people just cannot help themselves.
Glad to hear it sounds like they couldn’t find any Evidence.
...under mysterious circumstance... 😂
This would be an unconstitutional takings issue. She should report this to the state police as theft as they should know that they couldn't tow it from private property because of state law.
yes. my town has this. but if your car has expired tags, even if its a carport. then you just get the fine. no tow.
that way, if you are on vacation, the worst that happens is the unpaid fine and then the city puts lien on your house and sells it for 120 bux in unpaid fines. (sold to the mayors cousin)
Astounding when a town goes full HOA.
Don't go full HOA.
This is a pretty standard blight ordinance.
@@timrosencrans7955 except that it says that the vehicle has to have tags and that it covers locations in your property inaccessible to the public. Standard blight ordinances just say that the vehicle cannot be in a state of disrepair and that it has to be resolved within a reasonable time frame. The other issue is that the state has a law that prohibits them from towing a vehicle off private property. The only thing that the town could legally do is issue a fine or a correctional order. Towing the vehicle outside of the legal authority to do so is auto theft. The state police and the DA can order the city to deliver the vehicle back to the lady's property and that they have to eat the towing and storage fees due to the illegal tow. If this is common practice by the town, someone is bound to be arrested for criminal conspiracy.
As fellow members of the 'blue brotherhood', the state police would NOT do a fking thing.
This happened to my neighbor when I was living in Volusia County, Florida. Our other neighbor was a cop, saw his expired tags and had his car towed in the middle of the night. She said he was robbing the state of it’s money.
Someone needs to visit that officer in middle of the night. Teach him to harass people.
My town in a neighboring state also does the expired tags in the driveway thing. I had a decent looking car that I was in the process of fixing sitting in my driveway. I got a letter for expired tags.
I figured I had an angry neighbor so I filed a foia request for any ordinance violations on my street and they said it was "too vague" so I found a list of every address on my street and resubmitted my request for every single address listed within a one year time span.
It shook up the code enforcement guy so badly he came to my house to apologize.

This happened to me several years ago here in California. It was a brand new car with a temp register tag in the window but it had fallen off the window. Cop towed it out of my driveway. Went to police department and blew them up and eventually got my car back without having to pay anything. It was 100% illegal for the police to do that to me. I ended up suing them as well and won a substantial settlement.

In Vallejo, CA, Code Enforcement issues violations for expired tags EVEN if there is already an "In-Op" filing with the DMV.
The fines are around $500.00 per violation per day past the deadline to correct.
The same is true for having car parts on your property. An air filter? Wiper blades? Yep.
My tenants' car was stolen and recovered with the ignition punched.
The tags expired while it was stolen and it was due for smog.
The ignition would crank with a screwdtiver but the fuel pump wouldn't turn on. The tenant diligently worked on it, replacing the fuel pump twice. The code violation notices were issued nonetheless.
Its ridiculous. He couldn't very well drive it to the smog place, so he non-op'd it with DMV. The violations state that a non-op status with DMV is irrelevent as far as Code Enforcement is concerned.
It’s money, the greedy fuckers can’t careless what happens, except to them…
Mayor: Are people leaving town because we enforce unreasonable laws that cost people a lot of money? No... it's the citizens who are wrong.
It's just collateral damage. People who're self aware enough to realize they can move from their current town (and also have the means) are just a small proportion.
I will say. Living here. St Louis has had tons and tons of expired or stolen plates and tags on the street. The story here does take it slightly out of context. Removing a vehicle from private property is absolutely wrong. But with thousands of expired tags for a long time on the road in st Louis this push is just part of the city finally trying to crack down on it in the past few months, after many years of neglect. They pulled back on the swing so far on one direction that when it fell and they started enforcement it went back up the other side.
Using the same laws wouldn't the cities impound lot and the tow trucks lots be subject to the same fines and fees since they have unlicensed autos on their properties?
@@gierrah Part of the problem is charging $2,000 per year to register. The correct amount is something like $30 to $50 per year. If that means we need to let go a few thousand useless government workers, so be it.
@@johnpublic6582 She had a temporary tag. You get that when you buy a car. Steve read that the $2000 were for taxes. That's sales tax, not a registration fee. You have to pay sales tax before you're allowed to register.

My brother had this happen 20+ years ago. He got compensated for his loss.

Same goes with farms
@@Helladamnleetand thankfully John Deere is losing their fight against right to repair. Farmer Dowell can soon repair his own tractor
They trespassed on her real estate to hook the car to a tow truck. They violated her car ownership rights by taking it without cause. The purpose of automobile licenses and licensing fees were to maintain roadways on which the vehicle might move. If her vehicle is not using these roadways, then she owes no licensing fees.
One man's eyesore is another man's masterpiece... Jackson Pollock made that point.
Not being on the roadways is why tractors and riding lawn mowers don't have to be licensed or fully operable for road travel. I wonder if the law is broad enough to allow them to be seized from private property too.
This case did make me angry, but technically if the city had a warrant they did not trespass. Where the accountability breaks down is that a judge can issue as many egregious warrants as he or she fancies...
@@davidtauriainen9116 it's funny you think driver's licenses, registrations, and insurance is required for cars though. It's not. The constitution protects our right to travel. No license no registration and no insurance. Those things are only required if you're doing commerce, not traveling. Read up. We've all been eating the propaganda for too long.
Private property also includes automotive repair shops where nonoperable vehicles are being worked on, or waiting for parts to arrive.
Missouri has ruled against the cities every time this happens. We had a similar issue on my Grandparents farm in Kansas City area. They would put old cars on the from half of the farm along the road for decoration. City came out and towed the cars one afternoon and Grandpa got a lawyer. I not sure what all went down, but he had the cars back in about a month, and he had money to buy a new truck.
Being a government official doesn't shield anyone from a grand theft auto charge.
Imagine a city where they can impound any undrivable car going after the mechanics, that seems fun.
Imagine if every mechanic in a city knows what these a hols are doing then they start asking for the a hols cars to be impounded every time they go to the mechanic, that would be even funnier.
@@bergmanoswell879 you forget qualified immunity.
@@Catkinson3580 Nope, I didn't forget anything - you on the other hand, don't understand what qualified immunity does.
Qualified immunity is a court rule in civil court that allows the defendant to have the judge dismiss a civil lawsuit before the lawsuit gets to the point it's super expensive. Qualified immunity ONLY applies to civil lawsuits in civil court.
Grand theft auto, on the other hand, is a felony charge in criminal court. Qualified immunity doesn't protect against criminal charges, and any defendant asking for a dismissal of charges due to qualified immunity will be looked at as if they were particularly stupid by the judge, possibly even laughed at. And then their motion for dismissal would be rejected.
I had a car taken once where the cop wouldn’t let me remove a disabled car with my own towing service (AAA), it HAD to be the company they called. When I went to get the car, the company said I needed a release order from the police. BTW, the towing company office had a calendar hanging on the wall from that police department. The car was eventually auctioned and I guarantee those cops got a cut. They prey on people who don’t have the means to get their property back.
Luckily every time I've had that happen I told the police I already have a truck coming and they leave me be. If they insisted it had to be removed, I wouldn't let them pick the towing provider.
Happens all the time. One of my friend owns a tow truck and he's gotten in fights with the police multiple times because they won't let him tow the vehicle for customer, because city has a contract with another tow company. It's ridiculous.

I got a harassing notice about my grass from the city dept. My husband had cut the grass over the weekend and couldnt grass whip due to rain coming. It was not long and we mowed every week. This was obvious harassment because we did not interact with our neighbors. Small towns are power centers. The bad kind.

Hey Steve! Thx for the post. I live in St. Louis city. Calverton Park is in a part of STL where there are many small villages that use these types of scams to embezzle their citizens and people that are passing through. The tax base in these villages is so small that they can not operate proper public services and resort to this type of extortion under the guise of "public safety" to raise money for the cities empty coffers. It is also very likely that these "government officials" are also siphoning off funds for personal enrichment, which happens regularly in these fiefdoms.

Civilians can't file felony charges, they can only file a complaint. Only the district attorney office can file criminal cases. If the DA doesn't agree with the complaint, no charges are filed. She can sue in civil court, but without the criminal conviction from the DA there's no evidence of the crime.
The legal system is heavily stacked against you when the government abuses you.
Utah has a rule that cars must all be current on license, insurance, etc, even on private property. I do NOT live in UT and the code officer was using those codes. The judge was not happy when I explained what she was doing. Was even less amused when I made that information public and started talks of class action lawsuit. She was caught entering peoples homes many times. After video of this was presented she 'retired' from being a police officer.
Oh, one more thing: I am an insurance adjuster currently, who did automotive paint/ auto body repair for over 20 years. WTF happens when someone is involved in an accident and the vehicle is towed to the customer house?? I JUST finished up writing an estimate on a vehicle in someone's driveway!!! This will get ugly if the town does not act quickly. I will leave it at that lol. Keep us updated on this if possible. Have a good one man
Hopefully you and most insurance adjusters are better than the adjuster that I dealt with most recently. Back in December right before Christmas in my 2011 Camry got hit in the rear relatively low speed but I was completely stopped and they hit my vehicle hard enough that the force of the impact sheared the bolts for the right rear brake caliper although that was not readily Apparent at the time it didn't start to be apparent until several days after the wreck which itself the body damage was minor enough I was waiting till after Christmas to tackle because the rest of the body was just cosmetic around the bumper. But it would start grinding into the wheel in reverse until it would no longer move on that wheel. The adjuster for the insurance company tried to claim that there's no way that that caused the damage. Front-wheel-drive unibody car impact all absorbed on the rear as best I can understand it
What happens to any vehicle that goes to a local repair shop? Does the city immediately seize it because it’s inoperable on the lift? Or parked in the lot waiting to be repaired?
property values will go down
Lexington, KY will do the same thing. I've had cars that were just sitting(tagged and operable but just sitting for a while) that were threatened to be towed by the city on multiple occasions. I'm a beekeeper and I only use my pickup when I go check my bees, and sometimes that's months. I discovered that some of this comes from "property management" groups because one bought a house 2 doors up and someone called about my truck sitting on the street in front of my house for over a week. When an officer showed up to ticket it, I protested and one of the guys from the management group was there and heard me explain how i use the truck. Suddenly he was super apologetic and said he thought it was junked or something(right, with insurance, plates, etc. current). I told the cop if he were going to try to ticket me that I expected him to do the same to the other cars on the street that do the exact same. He looked at me and was like "which ones?", which then got him a full list and I said I'd be happy to call in the complaints if I had to. Suddenly it was all about "de-escalation" and nobody wanted to write me or anyone a ticket or even a warning. He'd have been there all damn day AND I'd have called every week to waste their time and money on ever considering messing with me again. I'll happily take everyone down with me if they wanna play that game. These days I drive through expensive neighborhoods and look for code violations so I can keep code enforcement busy with people who will lose their minds over being cited.

So if you and your family go on vacation, you have to hire someone to move all of your other cars around every 3 days?

Norfolk Virginia has had that law too. The city inspectors couldn't keep up with the number of inoperable, uninspected or unlicened vehicles so they started saying police offices could tag vehicles parked on private property for tow if not moved or made operable and legally tagged. The only exception to the rule is keeping the vehicle in a garage or other enclosed building where it could not be seen. The city also had a rule no cars could be parked on the grass of private property.
So, if somebody follows the mayor, and he is having a tire replaced, it can be towed, because it is inoperable. What about repair shops? This is beyond crazy. The mayor has hired an attorney that agrees with him, not the law. I hope the city is sued for multiple civil rights violations (they will definitely lose)
Repair shops aren't residential property, so no.
@DonziGT230 what makes you think this law only applies to residential property? "So no?" Dude just grow up
Imagine if somebody diabled the mayors car
I'd be putting pebbles under a slightly tightened valve stem cap to release the air from his tires everywhere he went. I've done it plenty of times and when the cops get there they laugh because you didn't damage anything and they can't charge you with anything.
They will have to sue the city government in a federal court.. It should be pretty much an open and shut case.. This is straight up theft..
My dad was harassed endlessly because he had too many cars on his property. He was an auto mechanic and had cars in line to be fixed or used for parts. They finally left him alone but he fought long and hard to get them to bug off. This was in Utah, but these stupid money grabbers are everywhere
If you're a bloodsucking bureaucrat that harasses mechanics you should be put on a blacklist where every mechanic they take their car for maintenance will just unplug the fuel pump and say "Sorry, declined repairs."
If I were his neighbor, I wouldn't want to live next to what sounds like effectively an informal junkyard. Maybe he had an incredibly well organized and appealing "line of busted cars", but that seems a little unreasonable on his part.
Unreal what happens
Dude, his property was a clear nuisance. The city was not harassing him they just wanted him to follow the same rules everybody else has to follow.
Depends on whether it was in an area zoned for business or residence. It is a little unreasonable to have dozens of cars parked around a neighborhood street for your business.
But if it was ALL actually on his property (zoned for business), and not some line going down the street, then no reason to harass him over it.
This happened to me several years ago. I had a 1963 impalla in my driveway. It was tagged and insured. The sticker on the tag was old but i had paid for the new registration and i had the new sticker in my house. The city towed it even though the registration was current and insurance was current. I had to pay a fee to the towing company. I went into the lot, put the new sticker on it, and drove it home. I was so angry. Really made me consider doing something illegal.
only if car is moving will they do the computer look up, stealing tags is big in cali
Should have put the sticker on the tag while in impound, taken a pic, and claimed it was there the whole time. Make them prove otherwise. Play their little game in accordance with their own unethical rules. (There are no rules)
You should move to a better state IMHO
You should. They wouldn't do it if they had to find a new code enforcement officer every other week...
@@tnwhitley confusion?
inebriation?
If a car is inoperable at a mechanics shop or lot, then legally they can tow that car because there is no exemptions. Then they also can search salvage yards, garages, parking lots, storage units in order to find unlicensed cars and tow them because there is no exemptions.
These ignorant, abusive bureaucrats! In these cases, the tow company is typically a private company, and, inevitably, the owner of the tow company/tow yard, who's getting all of these fees, is connected to the mayor (relative, campaigne doner, crony, etc.), and, after 30 days, they get to keep the car and/or the remaining funds after it is auctioned off. - Crooks!! - Replace that mayor!!!
But bureaucracy can also be abused. So if the tow yard currently towing these cars is inside Calverton Park, then create a tow company outside the town boundaries. Then get warrants to tow all the unregistered cars from the Mayor's mates yard and charge them 200% of their storage fee because they were in possession and thus liable for the storage fee. If they agree to waive tow and storage fees against the vehicle owner, think about waiving the charges against the Mayor's mates yard. Needs someone with land outside the town, a sense of humor and a tow truck. And probably some decent legal advice that can hopefully figure out a way to get around the abatement tax.
I had a junker towed in Seattle - which would have cost me ~$2k. To avoid this fee, I reported that it had been sold to the tow yard, and informed the tow yard of their new ownership to be in conformance with WA state law. They would then owe any fees due in connection with the car. They threatened, etc., but they ended up owning my old junker without my having to pay any money.
Amen, pretty good!
wouldn't you need a bill of sale to prove that it was sold to the tow yard?...just a thought there
@@MrDLRu Pretty sure his notification to relinquish/surrender ownership to company is sufficient legal xfer of interest.
Just spit ballin' here... A tow/storage yard does not need a bill of sale to gain full ownership/title for a vehicle they have "stolen", eh? (they gain ownership thru "Lien(s)") Note: Called it "stolen" because it's the term that MANY tow companies use. 🤨(source: Lizzard Lick Towing and other similar Reality TV shows, plus an aquaintance that ran a tow company)

@@BlackSmokeDMax you mean like the government does all the time? FU
This type of thing is very common in a community that has an HOA. They are very strict about unregistered vehicles in the HOA where I live. Serious ago we had a nasty HOA president. She actually came to our door and told us that we had two weeks left that she was watching all of the stickers on everybody's Vehicles parked in the driveways. I was actually shocked when she came and rang the doorbell and gave us a verbal warning about our registration for the car and that it would be towed the day after the registration expires if we did not register it. Meanwhile at the time my wife was very sick and in and out of the hospital so we just did not have the time to get to motor vehicle at that particular time. So I was forced to make time to go re-register the vehicle before the deadline. But because I am old school Italian and I do have a tendency of getting revenge on people let's try to do me wrong. So this nasty Karen president of our HOA got just what you deserved. It just so happens that somebody that did not like her took a gallon of furniture stripper the strong type that is in jelly form and poured it all over her SUV in the middle of the night. Revenge is a dish best served cold.

Hey! Where is everyone going?
What most don't know that "CERTIFICATE OF TITLE" is the lesser of the two. If you have either the MSO (Manufacturer's Statement/Certificate of Origin) or Clean/Clear Bill of Sale without the VIN being in the Corporatocracy data base (DMV), then you have full and complete control of the automobile. FTR: car is short for "carriage"; Motor Vehicle is a contract term specifically used by DMV for the top control of all autos regardless of variety. There is no such item any longer as a "Motor Vehicle", yet Carriages still do exist.
Unless you have Land Patent for your house/soil, you "real property" is not Private. If the item (land/auto) is registered, thus conveying control over that item to another entity, then it is controlled on the higher title by that entity. Anything that's Registered gives control over.
The Corporatocracy is Babylon.
Judges are out of control. Personal property that is not on the street, so it is NOT in violation until on the street
I don’t believe there was a mention of ongoing litigation or any decision by a judge mentioned in this video. This ordinance hasn’t been challenged legally from the looks of it.
So uh… while I agree, it’s not really relevant to this situation yet.
Edit: I did forget about the judge signing the search warrant, but is that not simply a result of the bad law? I don’t believe the search warrant is where a judge can’t question the constitutionality of a law.

@@diablominero ah that part, yea I forgot about that as the video went on. But also, there’s not really that much a judge can do, is there? It’s a valid warrant subject to a law on the books. The law shouldn’t exist, but it does. The search warrant process isn’t where a laws validity is challenged.
In the case of the warrant, I don’t think the judge is the one out of control. It’s the people who passed the law and the council members defending it.
@@bradenculver7457 by this same logic, you would be justifying not just this, but all abuses of power so long as its a "law", especially the many, many horrible crimes committed by the government...such as the genocide that the US government signed off on, that killed 9-10 million native americans, by killing off the bison and poaching EVERY other animal they hunted, as well as publically castrating the men to prevent them from being able to have kids again, so they could wipe out the native americans and their culture.

My brother's township told him he needed to get rid of his vehicles that were hard to see from outside the property. Said they were coming to fine him. He told them he will register every one and park them in the front yard. Never heard back from them. Been like 15 years since.
this was the Only way we got the code off of us after he harassed us for 2 years and then tried to lie about us to the town board.

I was told my antique truck was “abandoned”, sitting on my driveway. I had to sell it. The township only pursues a new ordinance if someone complains. There are “abandoned” cars all over the township. I was saving up to get motor and transmission work.

@@carlholland3819 township came out with a new rule. All vehicles must be inspected and registered. I said I was grandfathered in, but lost.
@@paulne1514 file a 1983 lawsuit in every name involved. If this is recent. Take it to supreme court.
I had something similar happen in Missouri near KC, they enforce the same code as STL, the IPMC or international property maintenance code is adopted by some localities as their code basis for these actions.
The specific section is 302.8, a section of code about building exteriors. I had a vehicle out of my garage to sand, actively at the time, and another older licensed operable vehicle. Without asking me or speaking with me the official wrote up the letter printed it and then walked up to me to hand it to me. Even after showing him the vehicle is parked in the garage and that the second vehicle ran and was licensed he refused to edit the complaint. His argument was that I could have the vehicle outside for any amount of time “because he doesn’t have time to be going around to see how long vehicles are outside”.
The code allows minor repairs, it disallows major repairs which Missouri defines as removing the body from the frame for work on either and removal of engines from commercial trucks.
I threw him off my property, researched the laws and wrote them a letter for appeal. It centered on the interpretation of the code as defined by the code, to promote health, safety, property protection and general welfare. It goes on to say that sections without definitions will be interpreted using commonly accepted meanings in line with the purpose of the code.
Missouri law allows me to build a car from scratch, take it to be inspected, and get a new title/registration for the vehicle.
If that is true, then the requirement to never have an unlicensed vehicle “parked, kept, or stored” outside (the limit of the code) prevents me from building a car in my garage and then loading it on a trailer, because I couldn’t possibly do that if I couldn’t ever have it outside.
Oddly enough, this specific jurisdiction allows recreational OHV to be kept outside for 7 days. So in theory I could buy a CAN AM OHV of the same size as my truck, have it unlicensed outside for 7 day increments, performing the exact same work.
My biggest issue with the whole process is that the code was designed to keep neighborhoods safe, major repairs in a yard could cause someone to get hurt. Sanding bondo for an hour does not have any inherent risks.
So in my appeal I asked the city to append the code so that there is a reasonable amount of time that a project vehicle can be outside so as to avoid an undue burden that prevents me from building a registering a custom vehicle in accordance with Missouri law.
In the meantime, I’ve been recording myself moving the car in and out of the garage each morning and driving the licensed and insured FJ.
Just imagine the number of vehicles that could be towed from mechanics' shops! Time to get repairs done outside of city limits.
Exactly! It's outrageous
I don't understand how the city officials aren't sued personally and spend some time in jail for crap like this.
Qualified immunity. It's not just for cops, it's for all government officials. They just need to come up with schemes that are so brazen or so insane that they have never been adjudicated. Then they never will be.
because the average guy/gal doesn't have the kind of money needed to do that...and the govt lackey lickers know that.
@@MrDLRuExactly. When you sue them they don't have to spend a dime. Literally you pay for it with your taxes. But you have to find your own legal help. And given the immunity that they have from prosecution it's a no-lose situation for them. They either win or they will not be punished because of immunity
You don't get jail time for civil suits. Most of these people they are attacking don't have any money.
I figure that they dont attack people who have ability to sue or hire lawyers. Most normal people are just trying to keep their job and pay the bills week to week
The same thing can happen in an HOA neighborhood. I had an a-hole resident in my subdivision report my licensed, registered and insured vehicle that was under a store bought fitted car cover in my driveway saying it was an inoperable vehicle under a tarp. Not to mention it's my daily driver when I'm home. (Commercial Truck Driver)
Some people just have to be a Karen.
HOAs need way more scrutiny. Most of them are operating outside the law.
My hoa has the same rule about tarps on vehicles. It don't matter if its working. Just the cover alone is visually unappealing to them.
Sue the HOA for false charges.

When you said Saint Louis County I understood what was going on immediately
The county is filled with tiny little cities that have been having trouble meeting their budgets. Their people are poor. Property taxes can't cut it. They';ve been using the cops as a way to generate revenue.
Calverton expects (probably rightly) that whomever they do this too won't have the resources to fight it in court.
This is just more of that it seems
This is exactly the case.
Calverton Park was always this way. When I lived there, they kept New Florissant just south of 270 night & day, and would ticket anyone 2-3 mph over the limit. A "police department" for a village of less than 500 homes is ridiculous, and they do nothing but generate revenue to maintain their own existence. St. Louis County PD would take over that duty for far less cost.
Yep. "Calverton Park draws 66 percent of its revenue from fines and fees on the local population, which represents the highest percentage of any municipality in St. Louis County."

Back in the late 1980's my dad had a 1966 Mustang in his driveway under a car cover. It was licensed and insured, but was not running for a while. He got a notice from the DMV that his tags were expired. That would have meant someone came on the driveway and lifted the car cover to check his plates. As he was not currently driving the car he didn't put on the new stickers. California has always been a "great state to live in". Not to be weird, Steve, but your videos are just long enough to enjoy in the morning during my shower. Beats the morning news. Thanks.
I have read, some years back, that car covers "must" have a clear window so that the plate is visible without touching the cover.
Steve. Question. When the car gets towed to a privately owned tow lot. wouldn't the tow company have to register or have the vehicles towed off the lot?
Even if you spend your entire life working on a car because it brings you calm...and never bring it to working condition...I don't think that should be made an infraction! Too many laws!
One thing i always wondered is why do we discourage blue collar activity in society? This topic of working on one’s car seems to fall under that category.

Sounds like illegal search and seizure. According to federal law?

I used to live in La Mirada, Ca. and there was a teenage boy that saw my 1974 CORVETTE in my garage, it was running but it needed electrical so I had not driven it for nearly 3 yrs. This boy asked if it was for sell, I said no, he asked again about a month later, again I said no, a few days later his dad knocked on my door and asked about the car, I told him not for sale, mean while a neighbor down the street had 2 none running 1963 buicks sitting on jackstands in his driveway, the city law says VISIBLE non running vehicals are subject to be towed, well one morning 4 car loads of L.A. County Sheriff Deputies and a tow truck showed up to take my car. They ordered me to open my garage because they were taking my car because it was visible with overdue tags, of course I refused to open the garage, I then put a lock on the latch right in front of them, they threatened to break the lock, I walked down the street took a picture of my neighbors car then came back and said " I dare you to break into my garage". They left , nothing else said. I must say, I am a black man, this city at that time was 90% white plus others and only about 3% black. Well that afternnon I decided to go to city hall to file a complaint and lo and behold the boy's dad was in city hall, he saw me and turned is face away quickly and disapeared into a door with no marking, I went behind him to try to see where he went but the door was locked, I had no way of figuring out who he was, so I put in a complaint about the incident. 3 days later, again 4 carloads of deputies, one knocked on the door, of course he was the only black out the other 15, when I went out to talk with them my neighbors were out there and they were furious because they had seen the first incident ,but there was the station commander, he had come to apologize and he told me a city official had given them incorrect information about me and my car, he even had an already completed form that had all the details and report of the incident and he offered to deliver it himself if I wanted to sign it, but I said no, so he gave copies which he signed right there, he apologized again to and to my neighbors, I discovered who the man was that initiated everything, he was a city councilman that lived 2 blocks away. I was not going to get involved with politics, but I wrote him an email to let him know to never use his position for extortion again. 🇺🇸 AMERICA IS GREAT
It's the leftist mentality that has taken over nearly every single city in this country that's at fault. These people seek power for power's sake and become absolutely corrupt. It doesn't matter what state you're in, but if you live in a rural area you're less likely to face such evil, and in a city more likely. This country used to be better, but evil has always been around and it's pervasive and quite capable of infecting the minds of our youth. Soon, the only solution that will allow us to escape this will be to find another planet.
You are one fortunate guy. I was being systematically harassed by the town code 'officer', and when I countered each of his accusations, he did not know how to proceed, so went over to talk to the local COUNCILMAN, who was seated in his car next door [to observe] and ask advice. Said councilman went very pale when he saw me walk up behind the 'officer' [on a public street mind you] and stammered out something about jogging in the park and stopped to say hello..... yeah, in your suit. He suddenly had to be somewhere else. Bastard had COMPLIMENTED me on my [fully legal] antique truck, as I was "preserving town history"... of course that was a year prior when he was running for office.
Oh yes I remember those days. Had the same problem with Danville Illinois when I had a automotive shop there many years ago. The city towing customer cars out of my locked lot got so bad I had to close the business and start over out of state.
Los Angeles has done something similar, towing cars out of driveways for expired tags, parking tickets, etc. They probably still do it. Happened to friends of mine who were going to gift me and my (then) better half their old car. That was around 33 years ago.
The only real crime in this country is not having (enough) money.
In the Netherlands a car needs to be licensed if its parked on the public road or adjacent to it. So if unlicensed in the drive waynyou will be fined and eventually towed. If you move it of the driveway behind the home or into a garage you're fine. That of course leaves a grey area, where are you no longervadjacent to a public road.
Inoperable vehicles will eventually lose the license , but until they do you are fine parking them.
I have bought many vehicles that were basically junk, fix them to give them to people that could not afford a vehicle. I did/do try to keep them from public view i.e., in my garage, or behind a fence. When I purchase these vehicles, I don't know who the person maybe that I am going to give it to. Once I fix it, get it licensed, insured, I drive it for several months to see if there are any other items that need to be repaired. Often new tires are needed, broken lights need to be fixed or replaced... I really do not like these laws that prevent a person from helping other people. I agree that there generally someone calls the cops and complains. I seek to get to know my neighbors (have a root beer float party in my front yard once a year with a handwritten initiation given to everyone on the block) to allow them to know that they can talk to me, tell me if I am being a jerk. They do not have to call the cops; they can just tell me. Civility seems to be absent in our society.
I do not buy a house in an HOA because I do not want all the “extra rules. If somebody wants these “extra” rules, then buy in the HOA or gated community or move to a city that makes it crime to do any of these things.
PS I once lived in the beautiful city of Pasadena, to determine where Los Angles is, and some other city is very hard to determine unless you live there. I did first live in San Marino (A city, within a city, within a city) where you had to have a special sticker on your car otherwise you would get pulled over and asked what you were doing in their city.
I heard that if you put the house address number on the vehicle, has to be somewhat permanent..like paint stick on windshield, it's a part of the property....Heard this back in mid 90's from someone that an attorney told her this. Not sure what the legal argument actually is if it came to it.
@@MrDLRu Trust me, the L.A.P.D. would ignore that....unless you lived in Bel Air, maybe.
@@Writ3r_Dude Sure, cops ignore Constitutional law, laws all the time...Look at all the vagrancy laws still on the books and they arrest many for doing just that.
This very same thing happened to my son in Grand Prairie, Texas. The city sold the car without providing any compensation. The car was in the driveway being repaired.
Some city employee or cop probably decided he wanted it so they went and towed it then sold it to him for 1.00.
So Steve...😎...you dig into this and low and behold, the mayor and his brother-in-law "owns the towing company along with the impound storage lot"...what a racket...
Something like that happened here. It's under Federal investigation because they eventually impounded the daughter of the state's attourney general. Look up the racket Brookside, Alabama police were running!
350 violations.....holly cow. there is only 1200 people in the town, its the size a postage stamp in north st. louis County.
I lived in Mesquite, Texas for over 33 years & they had a city ordinances for everything one could think of inc. untagged cars even if they were covered & in a driveway. I was so glad to be able to move from there in 2002. Here it's only a problem if the grass is more than 6 inches tall.
do they write you $100 ticket/dandelion too? thats still ridiculous, sounds like the they got little dicks. who will save us from the 7" tall grass? call the government!
Cops use 6” grass to harass people. They use it to force entry into the house.
This law is not limited to dissassembled cars in a pole barn, or un-licenced antiques in museums, it also applies to vehicles in repair shops, if it is in-operable, such as in the process of an oil change while in the state of having its oil drained, it can be impounded.
It can operate without oil ...... Until it locks up.
@@ding9633 It can operate wighout an engine, until you need to go uphill
Or getting the tires changed. As soon as a tire comes off the vehicle the vehicle is in-operable.
Nobody tell 'em about the planes at the airport
@@Tim.Stotelmeyer F1 cars can operate without a tire
It's sounds like they're targeting lower income households. That's probably why the mayor pointed out that he's trying to keep people in the city. When he says people, he means the wealthy population. He might be trying to remove and expell less desirables in order to keep and make room for higher class residents.
Davenport Iowa started doing this about 35 years ago. And also stating EPA hazards because they contain hazardous materials. i.e. engine oil, gasoline, antifreeze and other fluids.
City was after my neighbors project car. Every time he turned around they were griping about something. In the mean time stepson had a van with a blown engine sitting in my driveway for three years. Tags and inspection sticker were expired but he kept it clean. He sold it and the new owner towed it off. Every time he got a letter from the city about his car we took a picture of the letter with the expired inspection sticker and plates on the van clearly visible. I went to court with him and took the pictures as evidence. We got a new code enforcement officer a few days later.
This happened in my town in Virginia. The owner had a stroke and had been sent to a rehab center across the state months earlier. Church members knew and told the city. Officials did not care. I was able to buy the 2nd inoperable vehicle from the daughter, who had a POA, to give the sick lady some money. It was a real mess.
Does that city have any businesses that repairs cars?
In St. Louis county and Jefferson county, the exemption is as follows. You must cover a project car with a tarp. This IS NOT listed as an exemption but the judge will let you know this little detail.
By this logic, a car at a repair shop with its engine torn down can be towed.
the local ordinances usually exempt repair facilities, junkyards, etc. at least my local ordinance does
my project car runs, drives and is legally tagged, but looks so rough that I could see a vindictive person reporting it. I have good neighbors, but a guy one street over had to remove on of his Land Cruisers (only one of which runs) after the developer of new infill townhouses were approved to be built next door 😡 no one bothered us before…
meanwhile a ~2016 Nissan Versa with a blown transmission sits in the same street (IN the street, not a yard), but it looks new and they wash it so the developer turns a blind eye
Heck, a flat tire can allow it.
I had my car in the driveway for 2 weeks while the engine was rebuilt. We kept the front yard next and tidy and the mess was in the garage. Isn't that my right as an American to fix my own car? (Actually the neighbor did it in exchange for cleaning, painting, and beer )
@@intorainbowzOG Maybe it is a way to do an end run around the right to repair laws.
@@intorainbowzOG OMG tax dodger! Off with your head! Good thing it will take work to track you down, and government is allergic to doing actual work.
Had to laugh at this one. I'm from Northern California and I can say that snakes (?), mice, chipmunks or squirrels don't give a damn whether a car is registered or not. I really feel sorry for this woman. I truly hope she gets justice.
Yeah I agree. I live in California, and at one time lived on a ten acre spot where mice, and snakes and other things would routinely camp under the hood of a running and usable car. Those people are just greedy nazi's.
Can I get video of every cat dog, squirrel, mouth, snake, and any other varmint in the community going down the street checking the license plate on all vehicles to make sure it’s safe for them to make a home in… LMFAO
I have heard of this happening systematically in the St. Louis area for many years. They do this only in poor areas, they wouldn't dare enforce this in rich areas because that would be like enforcing this in the million dollar home neighborhoods in Warren Michigan, it would never fly.
The Wealthy areas should help the other neighborhoods.
I lived in Benton park. I would not call it wealthy. I thank Archangel Michael that my car wasn’t towed.
Wealthy people are generally able to license, insure, and pay taxes on their cars. It's actually a very common ordinance in rich and poor towns, at least in Missouri.
Yeah, because they will get hit with a lawsuit before the tow truck even arrives
They might not tow it in wealthier areas of town, but I know from experience they'll ticket cars in driveways/apt lots if they have expired tags.
@@RMSTitanicWSL Missouri seems to do things to keep blacks out of their neighborhoods.
I experienced Missouri’s racism directly. And i am not black.
I love Missouri, unfortunately racism is alive there.
My truck has expired plates which I will get new tags in Aug and the ones from last year are sitting in my letter area from late year. Since we do not use the truck off our land there is no reason to put the tags on the truck. So expired yet still valid.
If anyone comes on my land with out a warrant they may not get off?
Chicago suburb sent inspectors into people's private property including garages that happen to have the door open to check for City stickers. If project car or any vehicle on property did not have a sticker, a large fine was assessed. Never mind the trespassing issue.
Mr. Steve Lehto
Let me start by saying how much I appreciate & enjoy ur videos.
Your dissection of the Law is so educational & fascinating!
I also laughed so hard at the mouse & snake theory! Thank you so much!!!! 💜💫
Are unsold cars parked in a dealership in this town also subject to tow?
This happened decades ago around the Bay Area in California. Vehicles were forcibly removed from private property, even vehicles stored in warehouses
The vehicles all were taken to be crushed.
Strangely, many of those involved in the process, or friends of those in the process, ended owning collectible cars.
What amazes me is how there are actual citizens that perform these jobs .
Really.. and who are the 🤡🤡 that VOTED repeatedly for the corrupt system to be their masters then cry about the shit show repeatedly?? 😊😊
Just following orders mein Kampf
what amazes me is how they're alive long enough to come home at the end of the work day
Sure would be a shame if something untoward happened to these corrupt city officials and the oathbreakers that are complicit in their violation of the rights of their constituents.
I would be so sad.
Given that it's St Louis there's a decent chance of that just showing up to take the car
I love sarcasm, it is great.
Oath breakers will be taken to the underworld
Big ol' shame
My city does the same thing.
My handicap van with my wheelchair ramp was licensed, insured, and would have passed an inspection.
But the transmission went bad and was taking too long for me to get help with installing a used transmission.
This conversion van was in my back yard, well away from the street. There were no snakes, rats, or extra terrestrials living in it. I know, because I wouldn't allow it.
So I was forced to junk my beloved diesel handicap conversion van for a couple of hundred dollars before being forced to pay the city hundreds of dollars for them to steal and tow it away at my expense.
But they didn't mind charging me property taxes on it's supposed perfect condition blue book value every year as if it had a perfect transmission.
Something is definitely wrong with these rules or Ordinances.
So how many times did you VOTE?? 😊😊😊
@@JP-gi7dw Every time.
It doesn't help when those that vote in the greater numbers vote by party. The same as their parents, their parent's parents and their parent's parent's parents and so on voted.
To many of these kinds of voter do care, know, or understand what their voting for. They vote like zombies that are programmed.
Otherwise government employees could never survive long, treating their constituents like slavery is still legal and that everyone that's not law enforcement or in government are the slavery class. Color has nothing to do with any of this.
WE BE IN THE SOUTH.
outnumber those that think
@@JP-gi7dw I'm also one of the people that got an invalid fraudulent voting ballot when President Trump ran.
I know something was wrong with it, but didn't fully understand what, untie I got home and had time to look at the sample ballot I grabbed at the door walking in. There was no line 10 minutes before the end of voting.
There is no way my voting form was recognized as valid by the voting machine.
Also the machine only showed me my voting counter number. But no where could I find a vote excepted message or any other message.
The vote was corrupt.
Just as President Trump claimed.
I'm proof
@@JP-gi7dw Shut the [redacted[] up, spammer.
How would anybody know there's no transmission in it? Or if the trans in there is bad?
The biggest problem is the "immediate towing." Some places have a "24 Hour Tow Notice." Flat tire, out of gas, other problem, you have reasonable time to repair or move the vehicle.
Would this also be applicable to Auto Service Centers and Garages, where the cars are being repaired?
This is just theft. She needs a good pro bono lawyer cause for poor people this is a no win situation. What's she supposed to do? This is insane.
Good video
DC
Good luck, I have been fighting this in Colorado for months now. Nobody wants to help. Even local lawyers will not fight the county.
There was this one guy once .
But he's dead ...
Fun story this happened to me. I wasn't driving my cadillac because it needed a new exhaust. Wake up and it was gone from my assigned parking spot. The complex apparently had it towed claiming it was broken down. It ran fine. I walked 4 miles to the impound lot and proceeded to start a fight for stealing my car. Since the office people didn't open the gate I went into the shop and told the crew I was gonna leave with my car or there was going to be blood spilled. The office called the cops, the sheriff rolled up. I told him what happened that they stole my car and are extorting me for money. I told him they better open the gate or I would get my car and plow through it. They refused unless I paid I told them I'm not paying and they would be buying a new gate. I walked down the lot to my car and pulled up in front of the gate with my exhaust dragging - office and shop crew standing there with the cop in disbelief I stopped got out and told the cop, now I'm opening my trunk and getting a very large knife. I'm crawling under this car to cut off my dragging exhaust pipe (they damaged it further during the tow) AND you aren't gonna do a damn thing about it. So I did just that. I cut and grabbed the hot exhaust pipe and threw it in the trunk hands steaming angry as fu**. When I got back in the driver seat the sheriff told them they better open the gate because I was dead serious. They opened it, I left, it never happened again.
Should have then found out who in the complex had your car towed and then donated the remains of the exhaust system inserted up their mule. Not the right word but related to the A word.
Hooray!
Yeah, that happened 🙄
@@katjoe1974yeah, you happened.🙄
@@katjoe1974 I had a similar story happen when I was much younger, turned out that the tow truck business in question was running a scam, and not only did I get my car back for nothing, the owner and the tow truck driver were arrested and charged. It was a fun experience seeing crooked people actually be held accountable. They are no longer in business.
