Letter: Who gets the boot?

So cash-strapped Nassau County is finally going to pursue the $48 million owed by red-light camera and parking scofflaws by hiring a New Jersey firm to boot and tow ["Nassau County on traffic scofflaws: Give 'em the boot," News, Feb. 22].
What bothers me is the statement that vehicles will only be booted or towed from public locations. Does this mean a violator can safely ignore justifiable requests to pay up if the vehicle is primarily parked on one's driveway and driven to the private lot of an employer? In addition, why was a firm from out of state chosen?
