Having an illegal business shut down ruined his life? Awe. Muffin.

interesting that they dropped the extortion charges. Seems they dont want all the charges going to trial. That guy in the article has sued other police agencies in other provinces and won.

Moral justification aside, I do think it's sort of an interesting tactic by Impark to send their 'enforcers' to box people in such manner. If you owe someone money, that doesn't give them a right to forcibly confine (illegal) you. Sure they can sue you in civil court and they would have the right to do that. In this case though, since they said we can tow or you can pay, it may be somewhat different and perhaps it was a good idea for the OP to not call their bluff on tow because they probably would have. I mean, why would they not if there's enough arrears owing.

Are they really forcibly confining you though? You are able to walk off at any point.

Interesting tactic by ickyflex. I personally wouldn’t commit credit card fraud like that, doubtful they will go after you but seems like a really bad call

“There are potentially two criminal offences happening with this business practice even though it’s taking place on private property,” said Det. John McConnell in a news release from April 2016. “There’s the act of mischief to another person’s vehicle by rendering it inoperable. A second criminal charge of extortion may be appropriate when the vehicle owner is approached in the lot and forced to pay a fee before the device is removed.”

So Edmonton police are against booting I wonder if they could stretch the mischief and extortion to being blocked in and shook down for money.

Holy mass media hyperbole ..... “My life has been unlawfully stolen from me, and I want it back" ..... dude was made aware by EPS that his practice wouldnt fly in AB and kept right on going.
