Car Boots as Evidence of Coming Human Extinction

Is there any government practice more asinine than booting a car? I have never had this happen to me, but as a resident of several metropolitan areas, I have been profoundly affected. It is symbolic to a point beyond rational discussion or human comprehension.

Behold:


Rewards the illegal parker or ticket shirker with exactly what they wanted in the first place: a good spot.

Punishes every single other driving member of society by taking up spot indefinitely, so no "law abiding" resident can park say, near their house, until scofflaw (who never seem to be luxury car owners by the way) decides to pay the fee.


That you can now boot your own car, to avoid theft or tickets, just hightens the absurdity.
