Family Court Towing Scheme?

Wrapping up WWL Family Court Week 2010, the RJ posted an interesting rumor about a possible tow for profit scheme by Family Court marshals. From the RJ post:

Concern is mounting in courthouse circles over reported questionable activity among Family Court marshals.

Word is that a large number of cars have been towed from Family Court’s parking lot since the first of the year. The figure bandied about is said to be astounding.

Some people at Family Court have overheard marshals bragging about the number of cars they can have towed on any given day.

And there’s even talk that some marshals might be profiting from the towing bonanza.

How about it, commenters? Anybody have experience with overzealous parking enforcement at Family Court. We know that Libo was able to get away with questionable parking a while back, have they stepped up enforcement recently?

Marshal Law

There seems to be a little conflict brewing at the RJC between the marshals who man the security checkpoints and the marshals in charge of keeping the judges and courtrooms safe. Apparently, while both are paid equally, the judicial marshals get some extra perks.

From LV Legal News:

In recent months, according to marshals who work for the administration, as many as a dozen of the roughly 40 marshals assigned to judges and justices of the peace have gotten into the habit of leaving well before their daily shifts end. This usually occurs after the jurists shut down their courtrooms for the day.

Maybe we can get the judicial marshals to open up the south entrance after their judges leave for the day. Win-win!
