This is how democracy is supposed to work. The press gives a voice to the unheard and/or informs the public of an issue and the government responds by making better laws.

I read the article, it was mindblowing. What kind of society imposes such draconian laws upon itself?

Another case of great journalism holding power to account and protecting lower and middle class Americans.

a friends car was towed in Santa Cruz. called towing companies & police. Towing said they did not have car. reported car stolen & A week later & $1500 later in towing fees the police notified them the car had been towed.

That is financially devastating to people!
