Without state or local regulation, there is an increased opportunity for fraudulent and predatory booting practices that negatively impact the Town's citizens. The Town Council finds that private booting, so long as it remains unregulated, presents an appreciable risk to public safety and to property. As such, the Town Council, pursuant to its authority to protect and secure the public health, safety and welfare of its citizens, desires to prohibit the use of vehicle immobilization devices in the Town. | | | | | | | | | | |
