If you're thinking in tickets and arrests, you're not really thinking about justice.

In China, people regularly dodge sales tax.

seriously that shits impressive, i would never have thought something of that size could just yoink a whole ass car

That's...

I HATE PUNITIVE PARKING RULES.

Just pure vision goes red rage, because the people who get tickets, who get towed, they're people who can't afford garages. They can't afford off-street parking. They have to park somewhere weird because their job is in some goddawful place. It's poor people. poor people get hurt the most by fines, by towing, by financial punishments.

Seeing someone, somewhere, not do that is incredible.

They actually do this in my neighborhood in Chicago. Not with a robot, with a regular tow truck AFAIK. But when there's a race or festival or whatever, the city just drops cars a couple blocks away. There's always a couple confused posts in the neighborhood Facebook group looking for their car, which I imagine is punishment enough
