Does this trick pay for itself if it costs you $200 for a tire and a rim (and if you can get away with it?) The last parking ticket I got (too long at a meter) was $35, but handicapped parking space violations are often $500 around here, and there are lots of places like Ferguson MO that are famous for using excessively high traffic fines and similar violations to pay for their police forces and city budgets.
(And as other people have said, usually you don’t get the boot until you’ve got a stack of unpaid tickets, plus the guy probably took the booted tire with him, and if it’s a stolen car and has a spare, then sure, why not.)
