South Strip Towing...staff at Vegas rip-off demean tourists, abuse authority, cause undue hardship to motorists!

Chief Tony Almaraz resign, please!

After sweating in a hundred-degree weather in the mid-day sun for a couple of hours or so, a  motorist - who was suffering shortness of breath and not feeling too well - arrived at the Highway Patrol's impound unit at South Strip Towing (3255 Pollux Ave / Vegas) to recover his vehicle after an illegal stop by dim-witted Nevada Highway Patrol trooper Del Padre (Badge @ 691) resulted in wrongful seizure of the vehicle.

When the exhausted individual produced a "Drive Away" permit issued by the DMV in Nevada, a snotty little clerk in the employ of South Strip Towing, snarled at the motorist that the paperwork was not sufficient.

"You need a pass from the Nevada Highway Patrol," she barked at him.

The tourist tried to explain that the "Drive Away" permit was already sanctioned by a Nevada Highway Patrol Officer by the name of Sgt. Charles Haycox.

At this point, another disgruntled motorist in line, spoke up.

"I got the same run-around from these people and the Nevada Highway Patrol. It sucks. I had to come down here twice, take a day off work. And it has cost me. I am furious."

Then, the irate young lady lamented that in spite of the fact it was public knowledge that this tow truck facility engaged in shocking mean-spirited conduct on a regular basis, the Nevada Highway Patrol had never taken any legitimate  action to correct the situation or consider turning over the account to kind professional operators with a modicum of compassion and understanding.

In spite of the obvious misunderstanding, the clerk refused to permit the motorist to borrow their phone, so he could speak to a Nevada Highway Patrol officer regarding Sgt. Haycox's directive, and the obvious screw-up in his office at the behest of Chief Tony Almaraz.
"I don't have a vehicle. I am ill. I am just about ready to collapse in this heat. Can't you help me, please," he begged.

No way, Jose.

Then, after claiming there was no manager on the premises to speak to, the cold fish went and hid in the back of the small trailer and continued to make fun of the desperate motorists grumbling about the outrage of it all.

It was bad enough that State Trooper DelPadre  engaged in an illegal stop in Violation of the motorists rights, but worse still, to get the run-around by corrupt incompetent officers like Sgt. Charles Haycox and Chief Tony Almaraz after-the-fact.

Their motto is to protect and to serve!

Who are they kidding?

At this juncture,it's obvious they'relooking out for their own fat asses, at the expense of the innocent public-at-large.

I respectfully call for - not only Chief Tony Almaraz's resignation - but assignment of Nevada Highway Patrol impounds to a professional tow truck company that is inclined to respect the rights of the citizen - and likewise - endeavour to reat individual motorists with dignity and respect when this kind of misfortune befalls 'em at the hands of a corrupt State Trooper like Officer Del Padre.

Amen!

Sarah Palin...Gang of 7 twist in wind and agree to testify!

Never throw pearls before swine...


Looks like the rug is being pulled out from under Sarah Palin.

Last week - a Superior Court Judge ruled that the legislative body assigned to investigate allegations against her for "abuse of power" - has proper jurisdiction to review the issues.

Subsequently, a lawsuit filed to block the investigation was summarily dismissed.

Up until that swift sure ruling, Palin's "soldiers" - seven scurrilous aides who have stood by their Ice Queen in the scandal that has been brewing in recent weeks - were inclined to thumb their noses at the investigation and ignore subpoenas.

That was troubling for a couple of reasons.

For starters, the "subpoena" practice was instituted by lawmakers to ensure that hostile witnesses appeared before a proper legal authority when summoned.

In addition, laws were also put in place, to penalize those who disobeyed a summons under the premise that the overt act was in "contempt of court".

If Palin and her gang of rogue aides are inclined to disobey the laws of the land in the throes of the election process, just imagine the kind of despicable illegal conduct they'll be furthering once they are firmly ensconced in the hallowed halls of the White House.

Without doubt - the Palinites will follow Rove's cue - and cite executive privilege to avoid close scrutiny of their wrongful acts.

While new developments in the saga have left some scratching their heads, I'm not fooled, to say the least.

Yes, it has been reported that the Palin scoundrels will now testify, in respect to the issues at hand.

Break out the Moosebear, dudes!

Are they taking a cue from O.J. Simpson's friends and business associates (who turned on him during the recent robbery and kidnapping trial) in order to save their own precious hides?

The answer may be twofold.

Since the court dismissed the legal action in respect to jurisdiction, the Palin miscreant's are painfully aware now that failure to appear to testify, may result in criminal action for contempt of court.

Notwithstanding - because the head investigator has noted for the record the investigation is almost complete - they undoubtedly have come to recognize the folly of their ways.

If the Palin camp doesn't offer up some defense in the proceedings, Republicans may lose their bid for a verdict of not guilty for Sarah.

Palin, on the other hand, remains misguided and - basically - in a sad funk.

According to the latest press reports, Sarah is stridently arguing to anyone within earshot, that the State's personnel board should investigate the firing which has her up on charges for alleged abuse of power.

Since Palin has the authority to "fire" a member of the personnel board, isn't it obvious to the dizzy broad, that there is a conflict of interest?

Moreover, does she honestly think the personnel board would feel comfortable ruling on such an issue, when she is currently accused of firing an employee that refused to obey her wishes before?

It's obvious to any fool, they'd be next on her hit list!

Palin stepped into a heap of Moose dung day one when she refused to cooperate with the investigation.

Before the whole scandal has gone bye-bye, Ms. Goody two-shoes will be eating crow, no doubt.

Sophisticated city slickers are light years ahead of you, Sarah.

Time you got up to speed and fessed up.
