I’m sure the owners of the vehicles will have to pay money to get their vehicles. But, it’s not included in the statement released by the police

They know it is illegal, they cannot include it in the press statement. The owners of the vehicles already know they have to clear themselves of whatever offense that got their “vehicles locked up” and they’ll have to pay to bail the vehicles too.

Is it free for them to come remove their cars? Make it public because now, car owners will get there and you start charging them what they can’t afford?
