In Australia, fines cannot be imposed by private companies. Also once those devices go onto your car, they become your property. Feel free to use an 18V angle grinder to free the boot.

There should be no legal way a private company or individual should be allowed to boot another persons car.

So he has the police's blessing and just got a free commercial on the news?
This is the hero we need!

Boots have never made sense to me..."you're illegally parked, so now we are going to boot your car so that you can *STAY* illegally parked..."

[Proer]

I never understood how cities could allow someone to disable your car. What if you had an emergency?

[Real]

Damn, I didnt think this was legal lmfao. Genius.

As a locksmith, I approve. He should charge much less though considering how cheap those key blanks are and how easily they are duplicated. The best alternative though, tubular lockpick. Never worry if your key bitting is correct, just pick the lock open regardless.

Parking fines are not supposed to be a revenue stream for the city. I fully support this guy's work.

He's not the hero we need. He's the hero we deserve.

The fact that private companies are putting boots on cars sounds almost like they could be liable for any damages to the car as a result of the boot, simply taping a notice to the window is insufficient.

I'd buy a key and take the boot 😊 if its on my car its MY PROPERTY

[MyThoughtzAndOpinionz]

I don’t think those private parking fees are even legally enforceable.

"Its not about the money" he says.

After cashing in 30 000 dollars lol.

The boot companies that put on cars are pissed right now. This man is cutting into their profits. I wish I could say I feel bad for the companies but I really don’t.

[TheFrenchPug]

I wouldn't go on the news advertising that Im selling keys for boot locks.

[smittywerbenjagermanjensen]

Just drive the car like what Homer Simpson did in New York

[joefran]

guys a hero in my book. heck I would buy the keys and take them off for people at 20 bucks a pop

[xorxpert]

telling them you sold 600 is where you messed up..

[SKYREAPER]

Got to play the game fair and give the poor man a fighting chance.

All heroes don’t wear capes, they make keys 🔑
