Booting by Private Companies Remains Source of Tension

Clip: 3/26/2019 | 8m 2sVideo has Closed Captions

If you pull into a store’s parking lot and leave to go elsewhere, you might get a boot.

If you park in a private lot and get booted it will cost you nearly three times what the city charges for a regular parking ticket. For more than 15 years it’s been a controversial – and sometimes maddening – fact of city life. Carol Marin and students from DePaul University’s Center for Journalism Integrity & Excellence have this report.
