> With police already understaffed

So lets delegate law-enforcement to a random person who will abuse it for personal profit?

This has corruption written all over

Assuming police are charging to get your car back then it would probably be quite the profit center for them to enforce in that situation. I would be more concerned about them over enforcing parking infractions as a matter of dept policy, than I would be of parking infractions being ignored.

Do you understand what you are writing?

"We don't have staff so let's pay some other company to lend us staff to do it, for more money that would cost to hire the staff (because their boss needs to earn the living too)"

In what way are the police understaffed? If anything, they have too many employees.
